ENTERTAINMENTS.
“OUR PICTURES.” Seldom, if ever, has a stronger programme been screened at the people’s popular picture house than that shown last night. “The Song of a Wage Slave” is a dramatic story that must; be seen to be appreciated, and adds another link to the chain of popularity attached to .Metro productions, and incidentally to Our Pictures. Another very line picture is a Triangle Keystone comedy, entitled “Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts,” and is without doubt one of the most sensational Keystone pictures ever screened. There are some good supporting ■pictures, including a magnificent coloured film depicting the cultivation, harvest and final preparation of cocoa; also the latest Gaumont Graphic. The programme will be screened to-night for the last time. Eli IDA Y AND SATURDAY.
