For and Friday only a fine programme has been arranged for the Grand. George Walsh and Margaret Gibson head an excellent cast of actors in| a five-reel Fox feature, "The Island of Desire." This picture js colorful, | gripping, filled with interest, excit- ing romance and adventure. The pieture tells a wonderful story of] love and adventure, in which un-! scrupulous adventurers seek to de-| prive a beautiful girl, who is ship- wrecked on an uninhabited island in the South Seas,. of some priceless pearls which she has inherited. In rescuing the aeroine, the leading man has opportunity aplenty to show his ability as a warrior. He does battle with an Australian adventur- er, a Chinese villian, drunken beach | combers, and finally a horde of can-! nibals. A two-reel Universal photo-| play, a comedy and the Pathe News| will also be shown. An entertaining vaudeville bill has been secured. Brown and Brown will present their] high class musical specialty. Mary Lockett will be seen in a ragtime singing act. i "Mutt and Jeff's Mariage." After five seasons of veritable triumph, Gus Hill comes back for a sixth season with this perennial suc- cess Mutt-and-Jeff-in-an-endre-new dress. "Their Wedding" is the title of the story that is to form a back- ground for Bud Fisher's inimital ble | characters which easily assume the | credit of the greatest and most dur-| able success of the cartoon world The new production is an innovation | of play craftsman's work, embody- | ing about all of the real meat of standard amusement, the,thrill of the melodrama, the side-splitting situa- tions of the farce comedy, the extra-| vaganza and tinselled brilliancy of | the burlesque and the harmonious | art of musical comedy, not forget- | ting a scenic production, electrically | embellished, including some startling attempts at realism.

There have been many | war pictures exhibited in this city, but never before were citizens mov od | to such an extent and never before] were they brought nearer to a realiz-| ation of what life in the trenches and behind them meant than when these marvellous pictures were flashed on the screen. The various engines of war from the bayonet and rifle to the huge tanks are seen in all their awfulness of execution, the caol, ré-| lentless preparation for advance, the actual engagément, and above all the terrible effectiveness of the tanks are admirably sho¥n. See these mar- vellous pictures.' Impress them upon your memory as a part of the historic record of the awakening of Canada and Canadian to their Juty, which is being so admirably shown. in the trenches by the Canadian boys who are fighting there. At the Strang. For the last three days of this week the management of the Strand have secured the seven reel Selig "Red Seal Play," "The Rosary," a picturization of Edward E. Rose's wonderful stage drama of the same name. It is thrilling and convincing. It is a story of wealth and loss. A devoted priest who admist all the disaster works quietly, serenely, con- fidently with but one purpose in view, the happiness of those he loves. He solves the mystéry of the destroy- ed home and lets the white light of truth into the minds of those that have been darkened by evil. More] than this he finds the one who hasi caused all the misery and restores the~home. In conjunction with this big production comedy reels and polite vaudeville will also hold the boards. Reserved seats may be se- cured at the box office any day af- ter 2 p.m. ! At the Ideal. The second chapter of "The Grip of Evil" deals with the adventures of John Burton in the underworld. One night as he ponders on the question, "ls Humanity in the Grip of Evil?" in his library he hears a burglar mak- ing entry into his house. He listens to the burglar"s story before sum- moning a policeman, after which he decides to make him his secretary so as to give him a chance in life. Then to fit himself for society, Burton takes dancing lessons, and while at the professor's meets a instructress in Professor Morett's academy. He takes her riding and tries to put many innocent pleasures in her life. |S Well, Tor the rest of the story see the at the Ideal Theatre.
