Two especially fine Keystone comie a ke.\jt. tLe. large audience in rears ct laughter during the • Avhcle tinia they wares fevlag. unreeled, "His Excellency" is a sweet little drama, beautifully actsil, the dresses particularly rich t&e Eatings natural and the screening px-ifeotlyvclear. Thostar of the programmer was, of course, that thrilling Avar picture* "Facing the Enemy."

At the- Station Street Theatre last': night on© of the'most' entertaining programmes ever submitted was screened. The great Japanese picture, of 5000 ft., was a brilliant instance of moving picture beanfy and" and" it is sure ■

to meet with an equrdlv large patronage ■ to-night, when if will bo repeated. At, the Three Stars Theatre to-night ~is to be screened a picture'that'has become famous;- it is rightly dubbed "a star of stars';"' "The Property Man"" lo' the theatrical' world is what Jack Tar is to the nation—the absolutely indispensible, handy man. He is called ' "Props," and always Kay tlfc Jack Ashore habits. Shakespeare had "in his mind the "Property Man"' when he wrote, "A picker up of' unconsidered ' trifles." Needless to say, the Keystonevery funny man, Charles Chaplin, sets-■ out. to make "The Property Man" the greatest laughing craze in the pictureworld. From the announcement to theend itis one long burst of uncontrollable laughter. There is scarcely an actor or actress in the United States' that has not seen it and laughed thom.'-vKves into hysterics at the v. riolesale cntpu'r of fun. A matinee'will be held on Saturdtfy afternoon.
