AMUSEMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. “A Social Celebrity” will be screened finally this evening. Max Haber is the son of “Johann Haber and Son, Barbers” in a small country town. Max is popular and an expert barber and also in love with Kitty Laverne, his father’s cashier. Kitty however, cannot understand why he is satisfied to be always a barber and she herself goes to New York to get on in the world. Mrs. Jackson Greer is passing through town, tells Max that he would be a riot in New York. This, together with what Kitty has said, urges him to leave his father and go to New York. Hero, Mrs. Greer’s promise to help merely means a job in a barber shop and Max Again meets Kitty. She just asks him, “Just a barber?” Professionally visiting some men one day, lead them to persuade Max to pose as a count to play a joke on a socially prominent lady. He does and finally is led to believe that her daughter is in love with him. ' He writes telling her the facts and asking her to go out with him should it make no differenc. She does not get the letter and thus Mag thinks 'that she loves him. At the cafe that night, he is exposed and the girl turns him down.

In '‘Partners Again” the old friends, Potash and Perlmutter are with us again, this time in the automobile business, and the efforts of Messrs George Sidney and Alexander Cair in the leading roles result in a merry farce comedy. The sub-titles seasoned by Montague Glass leave nothing to be desired—they are very humorous. This time Potash and Perlmutter are shown engaged in the automobile business. But they fight every moment, until they part. Potash interests himself in a stock selling scheme of his wife’s nephew, but it turns out to be crooked. Fearing arrest, he hides. His former partner, however, drags him out, puts him in an aeroplane and orders the pilot to take them to Canada so that the guilty man might escape arrest. Another aeroplane, driven by the guilty man’s sweetheart’s fiance, follows to tell them that tho trouble had been adjusted, but the two partners think that the police were after them, until their aeroplane is wrecked and the two partners arc told that everything had been fixed. The two lovers marry with the blessing of the uncle. A comedy and Gazette complete this really fine bill. Reserves at Henderson’s or theatre. ’Phone 1048 after G. 45 p.m.
