ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. “GARRY OWEN.” The attraction for to-night, is the picturisation of H. de Vere Stacpool’s novel, “Garry Owen.” The picture tells the story of Michael French, a man of famous heritage and bearer of a worthy name, from whom the Fates take the weath that alone can support him. Honour and poverty, generosity and debt, seem to go hand ni hand. French, of Druingoo), was surely sport of the gods. His happy Irish temperament alone saved him from insanity. To his motherless daughter he had nothing to leave but the old name —the creditors.- would take all else—unless, ah! last hope, Garryow.en,' a horse ill a million, but that, too, was in danger of the bailiffs. To pay the debts the horse must win the Derby, but the trouble was that Garryowen might never run in the race. The bailiffs might see to that. French tried to forget it all in household duties. Effie needed a governess. The governess came, and with, her came the twist in the current of French's career that led him into whirlpools that he had never contemplated. Lite became chaotic from the moment the governess entered the house. What she did, what French did, what he wanted to do, what she wanted him to do, whether Garryowen ever ran the great race, and whether French ever extricated himself? from the the mess the Fates had prepared for him are matters best told in the film. The race is better run if the end is in ■ * dbubt.
