AMUSEMENTS.

THREE STARS i “Jim Grimsby’s Boy.”—Jim 'by, rougiT and domineering mountaineer, had little respect for womankind. They were useful —dhat was all. „ Jim’s wife was to' bear him a [ baby a boy. He was set on that. He j didn’t want a girl —simply would not have one. But it was a girl. He [ seemed to think his poor, suffering wife personally responsible and upbraided her shamefully. The excitement caused her death. The embittered Jim. was left with a girl on his hands. But he would do what he could. He would raise her as a and maybe she would think and act like a man. But one day the woman in tEe girl began to wake up. She wanted skirts and hair-ribbons and began to take an interest in the new sheriff, who was young and handsome. Jim’s fury couldn’t change her, either. In the end he was defied and outwitted. And he found that daughter was not so bad. Come and see Charlie Chaplin in “The Count,” and -have a good laugh. This programme will be shown for one night only.
