ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE ECiMOXT "Greater Love Hatb Xo Man'' is the piece de resistance in the Egmont Pictures' programme this week, The fatalism of ages was ' apparent in little Foomi's slow nod when Paul told her that he wouhl have _ to seek a wife among his own people. Their love affair had been watelied by Oshine who had sworn vengeance upon the young officer. With this object in view, he [Sent a note, purporting to come from Foonii, asking Paul to meet her in the garden tea 'house for a last good-bye. This note fell into the hands of one of Paul's comrades, who decided to keep the rendezvous in his stead. 'He filtered the tea house and Osliimo sprang upon him and stabbed him to death. Foomi witnessed the crime, and as Osliimo dragged his victim into the garden, she picked up the broken hilt of a daecer and followed him. Startled by approaching footsteps Osliimo dropped the body at the gate, and as Fate wohkl have it, Paul issued at that moment, and was accused of the crime. He was about to be sentenced when Foomi rushed in and proclaimed her own guilt, Showing the broken dagger-hilt as proof. Paul was thoroughly convinced of her innocence and tried to interest the doctor in her ease to no avail. They were in the midst of a heated argument when a little Japanese girl for.-ed her way into the room and threw herself at their feet To all questions she would only answer. "Foomi is innocent." Despairing of getting anything more out of her, Paul told the doctor to follow 'her. She led them to the garden tea house, and upon entering they found the body of Osliimo and a confession of his guilt. They quickly secure Foomi's release and • a new day dawned for her when Paul | assured her of his love and of his in- ! tontion to marry Jier. :
