Griffith's Mighty Spectacle: which, next to the War and Wreck of the Tongariro, is the most talked of event in Wellington. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" has created a profound impression upon all those who have witnessed its representation.

"THE BIRTH OF A NATION" is without any doubt the most stupendous, most realistic, most thrilling, and most expensive dramatic spectacle the world has yet, or ever will produce.' It is the duty of everybody to see at least ono representation of this gigantic film, bccause it will still be spoken of when all other "Star" Photo Plays are entirely forgotten.

Dorothy Brunton, who has added to her successes by her delightful performance as June in "To-night's tho Night," at Her Majesty's, Melbourne, was asked whether, if she had her timo over again, sho would become an actress. "Of course, I would," declared Miss Brunton, unhesitatingly. "Tliero is nothing else at all that I could adapt myself to. All other professions to mo are drab and uninviting. I am never so happy as when I am on tho stage. It is my whole existence. I heartily sympathise with every, girl who has to earn her living otherwise than as an actress." Miss Margaret ewell, a protego of Madame Mclba's, and the possessor of a beautifully limpid soprano voice, is announced to appear next month at His Majesty's Theatre in Wellington. ■ The Westralia, which arrived in port, yesterday, carried 78 members of the crew of tho wrecked 'i'ongnriro.
