ENTERTAINMENTS.

POPULAR CONCERT,

MASONIC HALE— TO-NIGHT

In order to give the local musicloving public an opportunity of hearing Miss Thelma Petersen, the talented young New Zealand contralto, before leaving for the Old Country. Mrs Petersen has arranged a popular concert in the Masonic Hall this evening, when Miss Petersen will be heard in her popular items. She will be assisted by Miss Edna Stuart and several local vocalists and instrumentalists. The price of admission is is. Those who have not yet heard Miss Petersen should not fail to do so this evening. PICTURE SHOW Among the films for Saturday night we find many that are interesting and instructive. “The Missing Finger,’’ a story of a great robbery, and the finger that had been blown off by dynamite in after years led to the discovery of the thief. “ The Miller of Burgundy,” a very pretty story of the picturesque little province of Burgundy,” concerning the miller and his well beloved daughter, she of the dancing eyes and roguish beauty. It is pictured in a simply charming manner amid the quaint, picturesque backgrounds of that romantic country. The other dramas are “The Moorish Bride,” and a Selig production, “The Adopted Son.” •‘A Leap Year Lottery,” a splendid comedy showing how the young minister who was rather shy, very much liked one Grace Walker, but had not the courage to tell her so. The minister’s housekeeper, single and of mature age, likes her master very much and does not disguise it. A friend to help the minister proposes a lottery, the prize to be the minister and the winning ticket to go to Grace. The housekeeper juggles the ticket so the winning number comes to her. The situation is terrible, but poor Sarah is outwitted. A number of other first-class films including a screamingly funny comic, “ A Study in Faces,” showing clever and humorous iacial transformations.
