ENTERTAINMENTS.
MUNICIPAL, PICTURES,
A magnificent film will be screened on Saturday night in the star film, ‘‘The Battle of Elderbush Gulch,” being full of excitement, thrill and sensation, being splendidly acted and superbly pictured. The tale is of two little girls who are left orphans are sent for by their uncle, who works on a ranch far out in the west. They bring two pet puppies with them, but are grieved to find that the ranch boss will not allow the puppies inside the house. A tribe of Indians in the neighbourhood have been indulging in a feast, which has concluded, when the chief’s sou and his companion arrive home. These two are hungry, and go in search of food. They find the puppies and are about to decamp with them when the older girl rescues them. Her screams bring the settlers out, and they shoot down the Indians. The tribe discover their fate, and the war drum is sounded. The settlers rally together and keep the redskins at bay for a while. A Mexican undertakes to ride lor the troops, and just as the Indians are closing on the settlers the troops arrive and in a few minutes the threatened massacre is averted. The other dramas are: “Broncho Billy and the Rustic's Child,” telling of the noble acts of a Wild West sheriff; “The Apache Dog’s Sagacity,” a film which excites the greatest admiration; “An Almond-Eyed Maid,” being a thrilling tragedy of Japan and one of Edison’s ever popular human stories. A ravishingly beautiful Pathe scenic with delightful waterscapes in sylvan surroundings will be seen in views of 'The River of Samoy.” “The Story of Two Sorcerers,” is a bewildering trick film and a wander through wonderland. “The Eclair Journal” contains all the latest news caught by the camera. Two superior comics will be screened in “Hattie’s New Hat,” and “The Deaf Burglar.” The former shows how hubby is made as a hatter by wifey purchasing a new hat; while the latter will create roars of laughter showing the burglar whom the alarm does not alarm.
