AMUSEMENTS.

£VFRYBODYS PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY. TWO STAR FEATURES. Two star features will be screened at the Princess Theatre to-night. Preceded by most glowing praise from every city in which it has been shown, “Oh For a Alan” promises to delight and entertain local audiences to a greater, degree than any picture tor mouths. Jeanette MacDonald, (who rose to fame as eo-'star with Chevalier in “The Love Parade,”) is co-featured with Reginald Denny. The story is that of a temperamental prima donna and a most successful one who is courted by all men. but has no time for any. She has her own ideas of the sort of man she could love and never finds her ideal until a burglar enters her apartmeift at night to rob her'of her jewels. The man’s physique attracts her, she engaged him in conversation, learns that he has ambitions to become a singer, engages a teacher lor him and abandons her own successful career to marry him. Real thrills and lots of them are included in “Simba,” which records four years spent among the wild animals of the African jungles by Air and Airs Aiartin Johnston, famous explorers. “Simba” is the native word for lion. Among .the features are a stampede of five-maddened elephants, the charge of an angry rhinoceros, and pictures of fourteen lions playing about like cats. . V\
