ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. "THE DANGEROUS MOMENT.” The lights in the Black Beetle Cafe flickered but. A girl screamed. Above the sound of scuffling feet came the death rattle in the throat of a man. Someone brought a lamp. On the floor lay Movros Tarkides,.sori of the owner of the notorious Greenwich Village cafe. Who killed him, and where was Sylvia, the pretty waitress ? She had disappeared as though the earth had opened her escape, Suspicion of the police fell on Sylvia. She was known to dislike and fear him and her stubs and checks showed that she had been in the room. Sylvia had climbed to the roof over the cafe and ran until she plunged through a skylight. She fell into the studio of a young artist. Guilty or innocent, he believed in her. and sheltered her from the police. Beautiful Sylvia was charged with murder. But was she guilty ? You will never know until the last reel of “The Dangerous Moment',’’ -Carmel Myers’ latest Universal photodrama, which is to be seen to-night. TO-MORROW NIGHT. "A QUESTION OF TRUST.’’ The attraction for to-morrow night is “A Question of Trust,” adapted from the novel, by Ethel M. Dell, and is a tale of the loves and hates of the Sunny South. Maurice Elvcy produced the whole picture in the South of France, interiors .and exteriors alike, and he has caught that spirit of the sun which; is the very life-blood of such a picture. He used not only local settings, but aJso local crowds for his revolutionaries, and even the English, players who accompanied him became enthused with the romance and passion of the Latin race around them and let themselvtes go in front of the camera; in a fashion they could never have adopted in cold, phlegmatic Britain.
