AMUSEMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. Dob Howard, an American, soldier and his mate, Gunner Jones, are wounded and in the same hospital. Bob falls in love with his nurse, unaware of her true social standing. Although she has never seen his face, because it is swathed in bandages, she is in love with. him. Hearing of her affair with the soldier, she is called away the day before the bandages arc to bo removed, and later, when the Armistice i: signed, he can find no trace of her After a couple of years of searching, he finds a clue which might lead him tn her, and embarks .for the kingdom of Spezonia. On the same steamer is the long-lost Crown Prince, who is returning to Spezonia to marry the Princess. Also on the steamer in the capacity of steward is .Gunner, and after many complications, they finally become the bodyguard of the Crown Prince. But you must see the rest, for yourself. A Gazette, screen snapshots, and comedy complete the programme. Reserves at Henderson’s. OPERA HOUSE. As many other more fortunate little girls hug their dollies and .mother them Molly looked upon the eight other children as her own. They were prisoners on the Grimes’ farm and where they came from nobody knew, but Grimes would never tell. A better place he could never have chosen. Here, on the edge of the swamp, the bog was dark and bottomless, and a sure deathtrap. With the hard work and the cold weather, the children lived days of misery and nights of horror. Their only hope was Molly. She never gave up. None of life’s experiences can entirely quell the spirit of fun in a child’s heart and so the dramatic enisodes of the baby farm are relieved by moments of richest comedy with Mary as the leading spirit in the fun-making. See the race of the police patrol-boat and runaway speedsters, and the alligators infesting the lagoons. These are features of “Sparrows,” with Mary Pickford in the leading role. There is a good supporting programme. Box plan at Henderson’s.
