Something entirely new in story plot is presented in the fascinating film dramatisation by Clara Kimball Young and her clever company of Francois Curel's novel, "The Savage Woman," and needless to say the famous cinema queen makes the most of it. The story in brief tells how Jean Lerier, travelling in Abyssinia lescues from the attentions of Prince Menelik a beautiful French girl who had lived fo.* years in savagedom after the death of her father. Lerier takes Renee (Clara Kimball Young) to Paris, where she becomes the rage, exciting the jealousy of Aimee Ducharne, a courtesan with whom Lerier had once been liwdly in love. Later Renee discovers that her relations with Lerier are not quite respectable, and raises the question of marriage. There is a violent scene, and Renee leaves him to return to her savage wilds in Abyssinia. How Lerier finally finds her again forms a thrilling climax to a splendid emotional drama. MONDAY NEXT. In "The Boss of the Laxy Y," with Roy Stewart as the cowboy hero, there are thrills enough to satisfy the most critical tastes. Love, adventure, rough riding, quick shooting, revenge and tender forgiveness are all intermingled in a story that is alive and active from beginning to end. Roy Stewart furnishes some most sensational horsemanship, roping and taming an equine outlaw, and there is no fake or doubling in his work either. Josie Sedgwick makes a fascinating little ranch girl and creeps into your sympathies from the start. Bad men and six shooters play their part in the story, and there is not a tlull moment in the whole picti'V". The story is from the novel of Charles A. Saltzer. Usual nitti'ie pi ices onlv will be charged.' SKATING.

Usual sessions this evening. Next week: Tuesday and Friday only.
