AMUSEMENTS.

Kill KNDLY 11 USBAND” TO-NIGHT

An important announcement comos from tlio Princess Theatre to the effect that “A friendly Husband” is due in town this evening and will appear at tliis theatre for one night only, presented by William fox, title role delineated by Lupino Lane. Do “friendly husbands'’ accomplish impressive feats for their adoring v. ives? Lupino Lane proves they do. Amidst sweltering heat, he goes home with a complete camping outfit and cover hitched on to his International car (a Ford) and takes his little wife to tin' coolness of the woods. Hut her family swoop down upon them, and uninvited, join the party. Under the cold, lol'tv disdain of her bombastic mother’s eyes, Lane lias troubles peculiarly bis own, all of which result in peals of merriment from the chuckling spectator. Seriously and agilely, the star goes bunting, only to meet with unexpected excitement and merry denouement. Seriously and agilely, lie bumps into a band of outlaws who later kidnap his little wife. Docs he leave her to their mercy .to H.v to safety with bis inlaws? He does not. He runs right into tlie arms of the giant enemies and gets them so dizzy with tree climbing, unexpected bobbings up when be is thought to be in a swoon, that lie ends by standing alone and triumphant above his prostrate and unconscious foes.

A two part comedy and I nteniatioii al news completes a line programme.

To-morrow night at the Laughter Theatre a special five reel I’atlie oomedv, starring Harold Lloyd in “Dr Jack,” will lie presented for one night only. “Did you know that the school house burned down this morning,” After this statement by Harold Lloyd in bis latest Rathe five part comedy,
