GOOD HOUSES THE RULE.

The popularity of the weekly picture entertainment is evident from the good attendances seen at the Town Hall every Saturday. Last Saturday night there were no unoccupied seats except in the front of the hall. All the seats in the gallery were taken, and the practice of making up parties for the pictures seems to be growing. The programmes are always: good. Although '' Held in Trust,'' last Saturday's star picture, was not quite up to the one of the previous week, when Viola Dana figured in '' Dangerous to Men," it was & very interesting and absorbing story, and the acting throughout was first-class

For next Saturday the principal picture will be "Clothes."

Ihere are two reasons why women hunger for luxury ; the first, that they have been brought up amid the surroundings of wealth, and so find the lack of them a hardship- and, the second, that having paddled during their youth in the ankle-deep waters of poverty, they long for the plunge into fathomless golden depths. And so of one of these two classes was Olivia Sherwood, endowed with beauty and charm and two thousand dollars a year, which was not a month's pin money to the set she moved in. The result was inevitable, and because of Olivia's youth and ingeniousness, accomplished quickly—she accepted favours, not realising fully what return was expected. It was characteristic of her, too, to keep promises; but when real love came Olivia felt heart and consciencetwo kinds of conscience—struggling within her. A tremendpus startling, arid always human, drama is "Clothes," by Avery Hopwood and Charming * Pollock, presented on the* screen with the magnificence expected of a Metro special production, and enacted by an all-star cast including Olive Tell, Crauford Kent, Cyril Chadwick and Mary Beaton.
