PREMIER HALL.

WEDNESDAY. "THE MIRACLE MAN." The deep human appeal of "The Miracle Man" is evident in its striking series of varied scenes—from darkness to dawn, from the depths to the heights -startling scenes of the underworld; blood-stirring physical conflict; the thrills of crime and gun-play; love that is good and love that is evil; the lure of the sea, of the gambler's luck, of the fields and (lowers in summer; all the sweetness and bitterness of human souls—knit so naturally into this great, gripping drama, that the result is an inspiring masterpiece of screen entertainment. The dregs and the wine of the world —all that is fine, all that is sorrowful, all that allures in the act of living is told in "The Miracle Man," and the man or woman who can see it unmoved is not to be envied. The box plan is at The Bookery.

MONDAY NEXT,
