WHY SHOULDN'T THEY ? A CHOICE COLLECTION of Winter _ Overcoats --at-- $30.00 to $55.00 THE DAILY BRITISH Theatrical | ptr tn Coming to the Grand. Olive Thomas in "Out Yonder," a Selznick picture, will be one of the attractive features in the programine at the Grand Opera House next Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday. The scenes are all laid in and around and around a lighthouse, on a reef and a nearby yacht. Ralph ince is the director and is said to have providea many thriils in these picturesque surroundings by the sea. The star appears as the daughter of a lighthouse superintendent who secretly grieves as he believes he has killed a4 man many years previously. His assistant had been an eyewitness of the struggle and holds it over the heroine's father that he may obtain the daughter as his wife. The hero | on a nearby yacht loves the girl, but | learns that his father was the man her father had killed. - When the as- sistant is finally trapped he confesses | that he, and not the father, was the | real murderer. Olive Thomas has a | role quite away from her recent pic- | tures and it affords her wider scope | and many opportunities for splendid acting. There will be another extra good five reel feature, and special reels of comedies and other interest- ing subjects, as well as a splendid musical programme of all the latest selections by the Grand"s Orchestra. | This bill will be seen Monday, Tues- | day and Wednesday only.--Advt. { ---- | "San Toy" Coming.

He is appearing in a new photoplay, "The City of Masks," on view at the Strand Theatre, next Monday, and the role required him to pose as a chauffeur who is really a nobleman under his camouflage. Incidentally, Mr. Warwick learned some things about chauffeuring. the back seat of a machine while a chauffeur drives, you don't notice the predica- him in and the nervouse strain he's You're quick to bawl him I used to be that way, too.
