THREE STARS THEATRE

A beautifully coloured star Nordisk drama, entitled "Children or the Circus," of 3.500 feet, will head tne list to-night.

The Xordisk is famous for its power and insight in dramatic stories, but this narrative of a man who gives his life to save his daughter from a villain's clutches is startling in its reality.
