AMUSEMENTS.

fdcLEAN’S PICTURES. “MISSING DAUGHTERS,” TO-NIGHT. This (Tuesday) evening McLean's Pictures present at the Princess Theatre a grand special attraction by the Selzniek Corporation, entitled “Missing Daughters.” This is one of the latest suecosses and includes the following fine cast:—Eva Novak, Eileen Percy, Pauline Starke, AA'altcr Long, and Roekeliffe Bellows. The picture is one of those specially fine features that draw crowded houses, and has been one of tbe successes of picturedom wherever shown. 'The plot is a very attractive and exciting one, with quite a number of problems that will hold the interest of patrons to the last line. There will be a full supporting programme and music by the full orchestra-. Though a special attraction, the usual picture prices will prevail. MASTER PICTURES, “RIDE FOR YOUR LIFE” TO-NIGHT. At the Opera House this evening Master Pictures present “Ride for A'our Life.” The picture was produced by Universal under the direction of Edward Sedgwick, and this Gibson-Sedg-wiek combination bus apparently become almost a “trust” i._ its significance to the Universal Company. A'irtiiall.v all of Gibson's most worth while pictures have been filmed under Sedgwick’s guiding megaphone, such as “Bliiiky,” “Out of Luck.” “The Ramblin’ Kid” and “Hook and Ladder.” The new Gobsin film is an out and out western drama, away out A\ ext in Chi Ii - fornia ill the days of stage coach bandits and gold camps along the creeks, when tho motion picture metropolis was a. scrub soaked rendezvous for prospectors and adventurers. It is comedy, and is packed with laughs, it has an element of drama and a human interest story, but the comedy, plus some wonderful riding and fast shooting, is tho chief entertainment feature. It's the story of a cowboy who played bandit- to please his girl, who had her civil romantic notions, and preferred had heroes to good cowboys of negative heroic temperament. The cowboy gets involved in a lot of trouble when tho girl’s father, a straight shooting sheriff, gets on his trail, which makes a bit of fun for the audience. Laura La Plante makes an adorable heroine. An International News and Century comedy, with Bonetti’s Orchestra completes a- fine programme.
