AMUSEMENTS

EARLE WILLIAMS FEATURE.

Included in the new bill of fare at the Paramount Theatre this evening will be that splendid Blue Ribbon feature "The Hornet's Nest," in which the popular actor Earle Williams has the chief role. Tht story tells in a vivid and forceful manner how a man who was once a powerful attorney is driven by a ruthless women to ruin, and how he emerges into society again after years of exile, and wins back love and position. The story is full of sensational action throughout, and has a delightful romance running through it. A fine two-reeler comedy "Out with it," and a big supporting programme is included. There will be a matinee to-day at 2.30.

THE HAYSEEDS AGAIN. The week-end change of programme at the Cosy this evening will include "The Hayseeds' Melbourne Cup." This is easily the best of the renowned Australian aeries and should draw capacity business. Russell Thawknows something about the art of camouflage. When he plays his games he plays them fight. The playground he loves best erf all is that which he makes for himself in the William Fox studio at Cliffside,.N.J. While Evelyn Nesbit is working on her pictures her little son rummages.among the dusty scenery, and battles with the camera men. By the time he must go home little Russell is v -as dirty as every healthy boy should be. One even;ng, after Miss Nesfoit had been working all day on the: part of Varda Derring in "I Want to Forget," the William Fox picture which is now showing at the Cosy Theatre, Russell was not to be found. That is where the camouflage comes In. Miss Nesbit called him, and Me answered, "Peep." That meant he was playing hide and Beek. Everyone hunted, and finally a stage hand dragged the'youngster out of a dark corner behind the stove. Russell was as dark as a starless night. "Gee, kid, yo«'re so black from the coal I thought you were the stove," the stage hand exclaimed, as he brushed off Russell's camouflage layer. There is a matinee to-day at 2.80. "THE LUCK OF THE NAVY." The Allan Wilkie Dramatic Company will introduce at the Opera House on Monday evening the greai naval drama "The Luck of the Navy," which has lately terminated a phenomenal run of two years in London ; and is now drawing crowded atten dances at the Manhattan Opera House, New York. The plot involves the scehmes of a daring-coterrie ol Hun spies in England, who beset the commander of a British submarine There is an atmosphere of excitement throughout the play which culminates in a thrilling climax. The role oi the heroic British commander will be, supported by Mr Allan Wilkie, with Miss Frediswyde Hunter-Watts as his fiancee. "THE ROTTERS." Few comedies in - the history, of ,thcBritish stage have achieved the fame of H. F. Maltby's clever satire "The Rotters," which will be submitted by the Company on Tuesday evening. The plot deals with the hypocrisy which often obtains among those who seek social place and political distinction with a great outward respectability. In this case the family of n self-made ambitious man prove to be an utter disappointment, and Clugston, the head of the household, is ultimately revealed as the least worthy of all. Mr Allan Wilkie will impersonate the chauffeur who wins the love of his employer's daughter. Mis? Frediswyde Hunter-Watts plays the part of Miss Clugston, and Mr Edward Landor will figure as Clugston.
