AMUSEMENTS.

CINEMA. A good audience witnessed the final screening of Olga Petrova in “The Vampire” last evening. Tomorrow night the world Film, “The Stolen Voice” will be shown. Robert Warwick who takes the leading part, should be sufficient inducement to patrons to witness this picture. The picture is based on tho story of Gerald Dorville who becomes a motion picture actor. The man, who, driven by jealousy, bad exercised his strange power to strip tbe singer of his unique and glorious faculty happened to witness a film performance of his former rival. As a result, in a manner remarkable, Dorville’s voice returned to him.

During his days of despair Dorville learned values. Re-arrived at the height from which misfortune had cast him he was able properly to discriminate between the shallow affection of a glamour-loving woman who lionized him in his days of honour and contemned him in his humiliation, and the steadfast, unquenchable devotion of the simple, single-hearted girl who loved the man—with or without the voice.
