ENTERTAINMENTS.

STRAND PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. Wallace Reid, considered one of best sporting actors of the screen, has a part ideally suits him in the Paramount picture “The Dub,” to be shown at the Strand to-night. Supports to this picture arc the fifth episode of “The Lightning Raider” (“The Brass Key”), and a two-part Mack Sennett comedy, “The Village Smithy.” THURSDAY, JANUARY 13th. “THE GREAT WHITE TRAIL.” A story of the Alaskan gold rush. “The Great While Trail” is a drama of love in the primitive wilds of Alaska, in the days of the struggles for Klonclyke gold. Doris Kenyon is the star in the great drama. A man, a woman, and a child who must light the world before they find happiness, which at last comes, in the midst of the great stretches of ice and snow in the North. This is a picture that will appeal to all hearts. Also the fourth episode of “The Vanishing Dagger,” and a two-part comedy, “Chicken Chased and Henpecked.” On Saturday evening “Everything but the Truth” will be screened.

ODDFELLOWS’ HALL PICTURES. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12th. “LITTLE MISS HOOVER.” Holding pride of place among the pictures to be shown at the Oddfellows’ Hall on Wednesday (tomorrow) night is a Paramount production entitled “Little Miss Hoover,” featuring that clever and bewitchting actress, Miss Marguerite Clark, ii the leading role. From commencement to conclusion the picture is brimful of interest, and to describe what takes place would rob all interest centred in it. The supporting items are excellent. On Saturday next “Fan Fan” will be screened. ODDFELLOWS’ HALL. One of the most remarkable tributes that a screen favourite has ever who is just now engaged in playing the title foie in “Fan Fan,” which will be unspooled at the Oddfellows Hall on Saturday next, January 15th. It was a little box containing what_ was probably the entire treasures of of a child, who wished to show his admiration for the beautiful girl. In the box was a scribbled note which showed that the sender was a boy who was just learning to write, and he tried to tell Virginia how much he admired her. The box contained a little breastpin, a gilt button, a silver heart, two rings and a cross made of red stones. This little mar man had laid his entire wealth at the feet of the girl he admired, and all he could say in his letter was how cheerfully he did it. Perhaps nothing that ever has come' to a screen favourite was so touching as this complete tribute of a whole-hearted admirer. The supporting programme is good.
