STRAND THEATRE.
«THE PRAIRIE KING" AND "THE RAG MAN." Commencing with colourful scenes of a Spanish fiesta, in a border town, where time has wrought a fusion of Latin temperament and American speed, "The Prairie King," the big feature on the programme opening at the Strand Theatre to-day, is a tale of the unfolding of the clauses of a will. Three persons, unkn-wn to each other, are the heirs to a rich gold mine, and the adventures of the trio, in search of added wealth, make a strongly appealing film. Hoot Iribson is the star. "The Rag Man,' the second feature in .importance, is an excellent combination of Jewish and Irish humour. It discloses the trials and troubles oE an Irish orphan, lost in New York, whon a fire destroys the home. Cleverly-written and well-produced, and with a quaint comedy interpreting the ■various roles, tho picture is one to bo thoroughly enjoyed. Also on the bill are "The Keturn of the-Riddle (episode 6), & comedy, a news film, and a New Zealand scenic.
