GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Compounded of tragedy and comedy, humour and pathos, romance, and at times'a touch of broad farce, "The Three Live Ghosts." now entered upon tho third week of Us most successful run at the Grand Opera House, again delighted a large and appreciative audience last night. Of three soldiers in the Great War returning to Britain from a German prison just in time for the Armistice, two find themselves recorded as "dead, killed in battle;" while the third, who Jias completely lost his memory through shell shock, is "worse than dead." How they, prove' themselves ' very much alive, get into the clutches of Scotland Yard but triumphantly get out'of .them again, makes a most mirth-inspiring, though at times almost tear-provoking, sound-photoplay. Last night was shown for the last: time the charming South Sea Island love story, "The Pagan." starring Itamon Novarro, Dorothy Davis" aiid Reneo Adorce. At to-day's matinee, to-night and throughout the coming week, the companion picture to the great "Three Live Ghosts" will be "Thunder," with that popular film star, Lou Chancy, in a great new role, that of a lovable old locomotive engineer, vastly different from any of his previous characterisations. The surge and thunder of a great railroad is contrasted with delicate romance and an appealing love story in this sound-synchronised picture Phyllis Hover and James Murray are in the cast.
