NO FILMS AT MET. O. H. 8. L. Rothapfel, general director of the Rialto and Rivoli Theatres, last night admitted that he had given up his plan to put moving pictures in the Metropolitan Opera House for the summer, The officials of the Metro- Politan bad announced some hours earlier that there would be no flims sbown in the Opera House.

It is re- ried the picture will go into the yric Theatre. AN UNUSUAL GUARD. 4 A carful of people were astounded at the weird actions of a guard on a subway express the other evening.
