ENTERTAINMENTS.

WORLD’S PICTURES. ■‘Tipperary” is a name known alt the world over, immortalised in the famous marching song, yet- how many know where Tipperary is or what it is like. The World’s Pictures ever up-to-date have secured a special series of animated views of this famous Irish town and its immediate environs. This picture is now being shown in conjunction with the third instalment of the great serial feature drama "The. Master Key.” The last instalment of "The Master Key” concluded witn the sensational ros.ue of Ruth by John Bore. The story continues and the knowledge that Wilkerson is alive and not an apparition undermines Gallon's health, and on his death bed lie under compulsion lias to make Wilkerson manager of The Master Key Mine. Before dying Gallon bequeathes all 1 1 is. property to Ruth, with John Boro as executor. Wilkerson becomes most unpopular at the mine, and several attempts are made on his life, bub John - .Bore always succeeds in rescuing him. Billie Ritchie who made such a tremendous hit lately in •‘After Her Millions,’ appears in this series in ms latest comedy hit, “Almost a Scandal,” and patrons can assure themselves of some real hearty laughter, especially at the duel which is one of the funniest comedy scenes yet screened. “A Race With Death’’ is a picture the title, ot which suggests sensation, and the Urban Company have certainly evolved something away from the ordinary. A special feature at the World's is the full orchestra which nightly renders the incidental music in a most efficient, manner.

OPERA HOUSE PICTURES. ‘•Will They Never Como?” the greatest of patriotic dramas and duel attraction at the Opera House wiU be finally screened this evening. This magnificent picture was produced by the Australian Films Company and is reallv good. ‘‘The Fatal Black Bean” a Majestic drama, deals with Mexican life. John Gordon, an American, wins the love of a. Mexican girl and the hatred of her brother. The Mexicun plans the American’s assassination. The American is warned, but the girl is made to plant the bomb. While endeavoring to remove the fuse, she is maltreated by her brother. This is seen by the American. What follows is most dramatic and makes a very sensational story. Some of the scenes include in the European Gazette are, mobilising the women— French cooking—the French sappers —bombarding Przemysl—comforts for Tommy. The Vitagraph contribute a splendid comedy-drama “Her Winning Trick.” This is an excellent story, well-acted, showing a phase of American life. it pictures the lights and shadows truthfully, and carries vith it a cheerful moral lesson. The Keystone comedy “Giddy, Gay and Ticklish,” is easily one of the best, comedies shown here. The first authentic war picture of the French army in a brilliant charge in the Vosges mountains is highly entertaining and shows (exactly what war is like.

PATME JPICTU IiES. Notwithstanding the boisterous wea ther conditions which prevailed last night, there was another good house at His Majesty’s Theatre last night. Like Tam o’ Shanter, tins audience “didna mind the storm a wliustle” while they were watching the many fine films screened bv the Pa the Picture management. By far.the greater number came to see the 1 a test Lubin star"storv, “The Attorney for the Defence,” which so favorably impressed the crowd on Saturday night. This splendid dramatisation of the famous book is one of the best picture plays which have yet appeared. It poweifully shows that ambition is not the only goal to strive for. A young girl teaches her lawyer lover that justice, and truth, and honor are nobler attributes than success. Many startling scenes are included in the stirring play the piece de resistance being a, thrilling motor ear smash, which is one of the most realistic things seen for many a. long day. Ihe Y itagiaph players had the house laughing heartily with “The Ageless Sex,” a distinctly humorous depiction of a. young husband’s consternation when lie finds that his -wife’s -beauty is made up of such artificialities .as wigs, form plumpers, false teeth, rouge, etc. "The 'Portrait in the Attic” is'one or the sweetest child studies imaginable, ft shows how little Thelma absolutely refuses to take to her stepmother As the days go by, the child » attitude is unchanged, despite the fact that her stepmother has none practically everything in her power to ivm the child’s affection. How the two at last come to love each other makes a pretty climax to a dainty play, bachelors who ‘imagine tixoy understand children should see the ihanhousei players in “His Sister’s kindness. [ n this unde undertakes to lode atlci his little nephew and niece for a fert-nio-ht. Two days is all he can stand, and he frantically telegraphs for his sister to come home at once. ino Salt Industry” is ono of those structive subjects which nuiko ruovintr pictures so deservedly popuhn. I shows that there are otner uroepsses of obtaining table salt, besides min,,j,r The latest news concerning tne war.provided in the ‘Who Gassetto is also worth seeing. i Ins-cliai mm programme will make its farewell appearance to-night.
