ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-MORROW NIGHT. “STRAIGHT FROM PARIS.’'' To-morrow night Clara Kimball Young will be seen in ,a picture that enlarges the familiar phrase, “AU men are equal/’ to include the weaker sex, which comes with refreshing novelty under the title of “Straight from Paris.” Ip this, her latest photodrama. Clara Kimball Young portrays the part of a working girl whoso fascination brings her into the most exclusive social world of the smart set. With irresistible beauty she magnetises the attentions of; one aristocrat upon another, and leads the scions of aristocracy a merry chase. The climax comes when her identity as a poor shop-girl is discovered, and the fundamental problem of a girl’s status ip the social ladder is confronted. That birth is a mere accident, and that genuine worth is measured by what you are, not what your parents are, is forcefully brought home in the development of this exciting romance. '‘Straight from Paris” is certainly a timely theme, and will make the hearts of gir,ls and men rejoice at the spirit of fairplay and equality that it upholds.

A 3000f,t comedy, “A Twilight Baby,” featuring the late Virginia Rappc. is also on the programme.
