AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. In “The Wanderer’’ showing again to-night at 7.45, Jether, son of Jesse, patriach of Hebron is weary of the monotony of his pastoral life and of the angry chiding of his harsh and cider brother, Gaal. A passing caravan gives him a glimpse of the beautiful Tisha and an ambition to see the great city beyond the hills. Despite the entreaties of his mother and the maiden, Naomi, he demands his portion and, accompanied by the dissipated spendthrift Tola, leaves for the city, where he learns to drink and dice and falls into the snare of the siren Tisha. His portion squandered in idle and luxurious life, ho finally risks all that remains to him at the dicing- table—and loses, Tisha vexed that he is unable to buy her a necklace she craves, transfers her affections to Pharis, a giant sea captain. Jealous and desperate, Jetlier yields to the-tempting of Tola to play with loaded dice, is discovered, humiliated and reviled. He breaks through the drunken crowd that mocks him and goes to Tisha, -whom, he finds in the arms of Pharis, but to tell you would spoil the picture. Good programme in support. Box plan at Henderson’s. COSY THEATRE. “Sea Horses,” the year’s most sensational sea story is now screening. Her husband, a drunkard in this remote African port, is willing to sell her for money that would buy vile gin. She is rescued from his unwelcome and cruel attentions by the captain of the steamer which had brought her there fighting inch by inch back to the beach and safety, only to find a raging tornado rapidly approaching as the steamer put out to sea, a typhoon that came ever nearer, as the ship drew closer to the menacing reef of the Sea Horses. And then the greatest thrill and most sensational finish that a film has had to be found iu the Paramount Picture, “Sea Horses,” screening again to-night at the Cosy theatre. Florence Vidor, the wife, William Powell the husband, Jack Holt the captain of the ship and George Bancroft the mate, are the featured players in this Allan Dwan production which is taken from, the sensational sea story by Francis Brett Young. Super supporting programme. Reserves at Henderson’s or theatre.
