AMUSEMENTS.

everybodys pictures. - “ WIE FUTURITY WINNER. ” —TO-NIGHT. > Straining thoroughbreds' in the stretch! Jockeys in flaming colours, crouched over the mounts! Labouring lungs and taut muscles! Flaring n’ostrils. Great hearted horses, expending their last ounce of courage, their last gasping breath, in a neck and neck finish as they flash past the ) judges stand! That is the opening of “ The Futurity Winner,” the F. 8.0. production which will come to the Princess Theatre to-night. And the climax, even more exciting than the “race on the flat,” which begins this stirring classic of horsedom, is a steeplechase—the most sensational of races! Louis Joseph Vance and John Brownell have turned over great material in this story to J. Grubb Alexander, for transportation to the screen. Ja*ies Hogan has taken Mr Alexander’s scenario and put into vivid relief the characters and situations. Janies Hogan directed the story, which le'itures George Irving, Patsy Ruth Miller, Kenneth Harlan, A 1 Roscoe, Kathleen Kirkham, Mary Carr, David Torrence, David Kirby, William Franey ajM Ed Phillips, and J. Grubb Alexander is credited with the adaptation. “It’s his life or mine!” Guess which. Or better still, go to the Princess Theatre on Friday when the next thrilling chapter of “Whispering Smith Rides,” will be shown, and see (for yourself whether the doughty Wallace MacDonald was able to wriggle out of the perilous situation in which he was left at the end of the last episode. The pretty girl was abducted and held in a lonely cabin, taunted by rough men. Mac galloped to the rescue, only to find himself looking down the muzzle of a gun. The coming explosive chapter, entitled The Bandit’s Bargain.” is said to contain all degrees of thrill and speed, up to, and including the limit.
