LYCEUM PICTURES. The return of a screen favourite, Mary Miles Minter, in a loveable story of an Irish colleen entitled "A Bachelor's Wife,'.' will be screened at the Premier Hall on Saturday night. Mary is undoubtedly one_ of the prettiest and most winsome girls on the screen. In this story she is seen as a warm-hearted little colleen from the land of Erin in ' A Bachelor's Wife." She wins one husband back to his domestic responsibilities with her cousin and her baby, and captured the big bachelor for'herself, but not before she undergoes some strange experiences and baffling misunderstandings. Mary is as pretty as a picture, especially with a bouncing baby that doesn't belong to her at all, and & big bachelor who doesn't either, but who _ remedies the omission at the first chance. This is a play that is bound to please. Other items are topical, scenic, and comedy. SKATING. The usual sessions will be held on Monday afternoon and evening next. There will be no skating on Tuesday the hall being booked to Mr. Lionel Walsh for "The Better 'Ole" Company.
