These include many interesting subject.* .which should draw good houses for the next three nights..

In this remarkable film the photographer lias penetrated the. secret haunts of the otter; has even followed, it to the river's bed,, and .seen it hunting for its food, and in turn being itself hunted by men: unci dogs. The whole subject is most, un? usual, and is a faithful record of animal life far beneath the water's surface. The actors in this weird drama of life . and death were quite unaware of the silent watcher who was to- reveal their inmost secrets to the world. This film will undoubtedly appeal to all picture theatre audiences, for it reproduces scenes, they have had, no opportunity to. witness for themselves, and of the "pousibility of which, they may never have even dreamed.

"The Trail thro' J the Hills" is a thrilling Western drama by Kalem. There's nerve-tissue and red blood in this picture that gives it a stir arid whirr of excitement to the end.
