CORONET THEATRE.
MORE ENTERPRISE.
The management of the Coronet Theatre believes in moving with the times. Its latest demonstra- tian of enterprise is the comple- tion of arrangements whereby lighting current is able to run a five-part film without any inter ruption in its continuity, while it will now also be possible to run a five-part film and a serial in the same programme. The Theatreis also at intervals sprayed with pine and lavender, which is most refreshing and adds to the comfort of patrons.
To-night a special attraction is being offered in the Triangle Fine Arts fire-part comedy, Susan Hooks the Boat. This picture is in the high comedy style of Little Meena's Romance," with Dorothy Gish and Owen Moore. in the leading roles, and with a dash of Griffith suspense toward the end. It well constructed. acted and well handled.
