THE PEOPLE’S.

MATINEE TO-DAY, AT. 2 P,M. THE MAN OF THE FOREST. The first of the Hodgkinson’s super-pro-ductions, “The Man of the Forest,” will be shown at The People’s this afternoon at 2 p.m., and again to-night at 7.45. This picture, taken from the popular npvel by Zane Grey, is amongst frout r rank productions of its kind. Everyone has read “The Man of the Forest,” which is one of the latest of Zane-Grey’s best sellers. It is a • tale of love and adventure. No one but Zane Grey could have written such a story. It’s a tale of the red-blooded West —a tale of men fighting for the love of a girl. It will grip and hold. Full of action and thrills, there runs through it a sweet and tender love story that lends enchantment. Probably one of the most interesting features of this film outside the many examples of superb horsemanship and the beautiful scenic spots, is the acting of a huge grizzly bear, a tawny mountain lion, and a faithful dog, the pets and companions of “The Man of the Forest.” Box plans for “Man of the Forest” are now open at Collier’s. “SHAME” NEXT TUESDAY. The William Fox forces have produced a really wonderful picture in their latest big super-feature “Shame,” showing next Tuesday and Wednesday at the People’s. Like “Way Down East,” the story is simple yet pulls with a strange fascination. “Shame” tells a gripping story of a man who, through a strange and terrible delusion, forsakes fortune, influence, and a beloved wife and child to bury himself in the wilds of Alaska. The devoted wife follows her husband, and after a series of the most remarkable adventures, including a most realistic fight with wolves, succeeds in restoring him to reason. Apart from the absorbing interest of the story, the picture is well worth seeing for the magnificent scenes it presents of the rugged grandeur of the Frozen North. Right throughout the Dominion, “Shame” is proving a wor- | thy rival to the big Griffith production, “Way Down East.” Box plans for “Shame” are now open at Collier’s. EMPIRE THEATRE. “THE WAIKIKI HAWAIIANS.” All the romance of warm tropical moon- I light in the South Seas will be introduced to local theatre-goers at the Empire Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday, when Mr. Keike Greig will introduce his gifted company of Hawaiian entertainers in their famous spectacular revue, “A Night in Honolulu,” introducing all the gems of Hawaiian melody. Mr. Greig is himself a past master on the steel guitar, and is supported by a band of musicians far above the average. The company also includes 1 Miss T. Lilliokalani, who is captivating 1 audiences with her weird and beautiful | “Luau Hula” dance in native costume. In addition to their delightful instrumental work the company appear in songs, duets, trios, quartettes and full chorus work, and their harmony holds the audience entranced. Altogether it is the most novel and pleasing entertainment that has yet 1 been presented to Dominion playgoers, j and the performance is enhanced by the ' special electrical effects and pretty stage ' secnery of the Hawaiian village. Record business has been the order right through the North Island tour of this unique combination. The box plans are now open at Collier’s.
