On Thursday next at the Princess Theatre Thos, H. Inco presents Ahulge llellamy. Cullen Landis, ami Oscar the Elephant in “The. Soul of a Least” a eireus picture that's a Circus to see. It is one of the most human, appealing and dramatic novelty productions over screened. Excitement, adventure, roni.iiie, all the. lure and appeal of a.

great circus, strange and unusual in the picturesque Klein h-Canndiaii settlement, and three big loves—the loves of the mail and Hie maid and the love of “Oscar” the Elephant. Here's a story of two circus runaways. A gin and an elephant-enacted right under “the big toil,” with real circus performers taking part in the picture! And never as long as you live will you see anything like the acting of “Oscar” the elephant that thinks. A love story in which an elephant takes a. hand, —or 1.0 it a foot—in it. A drama of tlie big tent and the big woods. A real circus story, with a trained hear, wild lions, and'tigers, elephants and camels, and. ail other animals going through their nets in the ring. “Oscar,” the elephant, does some of the most unusual acting over shown oil the screen. A two reel Comedy and further chapters “Buffalo Bill” will also he shown. Orchestral selections and usual pirices.
