ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT,

GfcEAT SPECTACULAR DRAMA. For to-night an especial treat is in store, being nothing less than one of Norman Dawn’s great spectacular dramas, “The Fire Cat,” a special Universal Films attraction. Edith Roberts plays leading role.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

To-morrow night the star is a Selznick, with the very fetching title, “Just A Wife.”

MONDAY NIGHT

“THE ADVENTURER.”

One of the touching jccnes in “The Adventurer,” the Fox production of E. Lloyd Sheldon’s romantic drama which will be screened at the Central Theatre bn Monday, and in which .the popular William Farnum! wih return to this town, shows the star selling his last valuable asset, his favourite horse, which in spite of poverty he has managed to save until the necessity for food 'compels him to sacrifice the animal. z William Farnum is noted for his love, for animals. On his estate at Sag Harbour, Long Island, is an old horse that appeared with the sterling actor years ago in “Ben Hur.” This animal has been pensioned by Farnum', and romps at will across the pastures of the Sag Harbour home.

Farnam never is without dogs. He has some that are very valuable, and the care they receive is the cause of much comment by people who know the home life of the Fox star.

It is probably for .this reason that the scene in “The Adventurer” in which the dealer is bargaining for the horse of the hero of the story is one of the most' touching of the production. Farhum’s great art comes to the front in this scene,, supported in its effectiveness .by his intense love for the brute creation.
