ENTERTAINMENTS.

A MILLION DOLLAR MOTION PICTURE AT EVERYBODY'S. j <'A DAUGHTER OF THE GODS." A famous artist, Mr. Harrison Fisher, writing about "A Daughter of the Gods," says:—"Here, truly, as you now see, is the picture beautiful in tiheme and presentation. A picture at last for the millions of American women and children; a picture of pure fantasy and delicacy of story for all clean-brained people. 'A Daughter of the Gods' glorifies the beauties of life, makes supreme use of the loveliness of the most wonderful women in all the world; makes elves and fairies believable and real and blends them with a story of gigantic proportions. In entirety here is a story as pure as filtered air and as cleansed as the <feep sea. This is a picture destined to win new converts to the screen throughout the world. I beckon to motihera and children, saying: 'Wonderful is nature and humankind dwelling amid it. Beautiful is the out-of-doors and those who people it. Amaz- : ing are the virtues of beauty."'
