To-night will see the screening of “Girl of TJie Sea,” starring the most perfectly formed girl alive, Betty Hilburn. She can swim like a fish and dive like an otter, and swims through the greatest underwater picture the world has ever seen. Chester Barnett goes down to the ocean’s bed to search for a lost fortune, and is entrapped when a maneating shark snaps the air-pipe, and is caught in the tentacles of a great octopus. Then beautiful Betty Hilburn scorns convention, discards her tattered clothing, and dives unarmed to his rescue.

In “Faith of the Strong” Mitchell Lewis strengthens his position as being the most realistic portrayer of types of men that infect the logging districts of the great Northwest, to-morrow’s programme. In his characterisation of Paul La Rue, Mitchell Lewis 'gives the most, brilliant performance of his screen career. Also at Saturday’s malinee. On Saturday George Larkin, leading man for Eileen Sedgwick, starring in “Terror Trail,” the new serial, will be shown. He was formerly a circus performer. It was there he learned to perform neckrisking stunts lie now does for the screen. Some of the most’, reckless stunts ever attempted before the camera provide thrills in “Terror Trail.” ______
