AMUSEMENTS

LITTLE MARIE OSBORNE. The mid-week change of programme at the Paramount Theatre thus even* ing will include the wonderful child actress Marie Osborne in one of her greatest successes entitled "Dolly's Vacation." Good comedy drama pictures featuring child principals are always a big success, and this picture will prove no exception to the rule, the acting being perfect. The. story, which is centred round a halo of romance, concerns chiefly the impish pranks committed by our little heroine, who causes no end of fun and consternation. Another chapter of the renowned aerial "The Fighting Trail"-will be shown, and is sure to find its usual many followers. A good comedy "Canning the Cannibal" and other supports will be shown. "A LADY'S NAME." Constance Talmadge is featured in "A Lady's Name" at the Cosy tonight. Mabel Vere is a yoting and popular writer. She shares a pretty little flat with Maud Bray, a suffragette of determined character. Mabel is engaged to be married to Gerald Wantage, but she has become aware of gFrowing dissatisfaction with her somewhat priggish fiance. However, she tries to ignore this discontent, working off her unrest in her own original ways. One of her "ways" is to advertise for a husband. She hopes to obtain good copy from the pplicants, and she .invites three ! of thbrn to call. Adams, a butler, arrives, in whom Mabel sees prospects for a good story. She accepts his m/itifiou to tea for the following afternoon at the house where he works, telling her that his master will be out. Noel Corcoran is the third applicant, to whom Mabel does not show the interest that she feels in him. The next day she keeps her engagement for tea., only to find that the butler works at Noel Corcoran's house. He informs her that her fiance is making bets with the men at the club that she will not answer any more letters in reply to her ad. Mabel decides to punish him, so she answers two of the newly arrived, lurid letters. Wantage discovers it and after a quarrel they break their engagement. When Noel learns of the broken engagement he calls and succeeds in impressing Mabel with the fact that- he is the right man for her. "Stingaree" will be continued in another good chapter. Several good comedy and topical subjects are to be shown in support. A matinee will be' held at 2.30 this afternoon. "THE LUCK OF THE NAVY." Fresh from a remarkable run of two years in London the great naval drama. "The Luck of the Navy" will be introduced by the Allan Wilkie Dramatic Company at the Opera House on Monday evening. The plot is described as being skilfully 1 conceived, and is brimful of exciting episodes which do not exceed the bounds of possibility. The hero ia the commander of a British aubmarine who finds himself ensnared by a gang of Hun spies in England. Mr Allan Wilkie takes the principal part, and Miss Frediswyde Hunter-Watts will appear as his fiancee. "THE ROTTERS^" H. F. Maltby's famous comedy "The Rotters," which scored a mendous success in London will be § resented by the Company on Tuesay evening. The chief character is Councill Cliigston, an illiterate selfmade man who is bent on keeping up a reputation for ultra-respectab'lity in order to aid him in his endeavours to gain the mayoralty of his town. His family, however, fail utterly to behave in keeping with Clugston's ideals, and in the end the worthy Councillor himself is revealed as a consummate hypocrite! _ There are many moiit ludicrous situations, and the dialogue is brimful of humour. Mr Wilkie will figure as Clugston's chauffeur, Miss Frediswyde Hunter-Watts as Miss Clugston, and Mr Edward Landor as Clugston. ——mtmtmmmrnmm—m FARM HOBBEB FOB SALE. A VERY TEACTOB PURCHASED.

Horses cannot keep pace with the Avery, and horses cannot do all the Avery Tractor floes 1 For ploughing, discing, harrowing, rolling, drilling, reaping and hauling, the Avery Tractor is quicker than two 4horse teams—and that is only part of its work.
