AMUSEMENTS.

<£VRRYBDDYS PICTURES. 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 Man” promises to delight and entertain local audiences to a greater degree than any picture lot months.

Jeanette MacDonald, (who rose to fame as co-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 apartment at night to rob her of her jewels. .The man’s physique attracts her, she engaged him in conversation, learns that he lias ambitions to become a singer, engages a teacher for 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 Mr and Mrs Martin 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.
