MAJESTIC THEATRE. . An entirely British programrao of exceptional, merit Is bejng screened-this week at tho Majestic Theatre, a musical comedy. and a mystery drama, together with interesting newsreels," provldliig'a "variety of' entertainment. "The Indiscretions of Eve," the principal feature, is a light-hearted" f«rce presented to tho accompaniment of .a. - number of catchy songs and chpruses. . The story' deals with Eve (Steffi Duna),. a. pretty girl engaged to the proprietor of. the. dressmaking models manufacturing establishment in which she.. -Is employed. .' Eve ' enters "so' whole-heartedly .Into the spirit of the New Year revels that her fiance^ Ralph (Lester.

It is very light comedy and exceedingly amusing, with ' both' principals and minor players ■maintaining a consistently high standard. "'The Strangler" is a real thriller, with a murder under mysterious circumstances'which render It exceedingly difficult to nominate the culprit, who is eventually, disclosed in dramatic fashion. ■A reputedly haunted bouse, its. walls lashed j by a fierce storm, a party of men and women, -1 any one of whom stood to gain by the murdered man's . death, and,'a, prowling knifethrowing Mexican are s.6me of the ingredients used to secure .-the.tight, atmosphere. Jack Morrison .and Lee.McArthur head tho cast.,

ST. JAMES THEATRE,

A very pleasing British (8.1.P.) success is scored by the new picture, "Mr. Bill—The Conqueror," at St".-James Theatre. It is an English' farm story—a bankrupt .young lord driven back to the farm instead 'of away from it—and a dozen interestirig-y morals could be read into It; but, more thait'"that, It is a very . tender love-story,: and is'-one-of. those pictures, that leave in the "taind a fragrant memory. Lord Wilbour, (played, by Henry, Kendall) is seen In the first place about to fall out of society for lack of cash, and the handsome -'■ and wealthy-widow. Lady Diana (Miss "Nora Swinburne) proposes marriage to him to socially save him. >He ha 3 manhood enough to refuse her; and, recognising his latent grit, sheurges him to emulate William the Conqueror. But what (he asks himself) shall ha conquer? He determines to conquer Hard Acres, one of the farm assets in his bankrupt estate, and ■{what an example for the aristocracy!) he retrieves this farm by hard personal exertions. That was not the sort of conquest, lady Diana meant, and she tri6s to lure him away from "brutal labour," but meanwhile a farmer's daughter (played by Miss Heather" Angel) has come into his life—though la his casual way he is hardly conscious of it —and the audience is thrilled by a competition between the matnre beauty of the socially expert' Miss Swinburne and the girlish; charm,-pf-Miss Angel. .'. The latter's father; jealous^ .of ."Mr..-Bill's farming,.and suspicious ,\pf v the:; girt,. constitutes another., obstacle to true ,loye, -and commits • assault and incendiarism before"being• finally brought to repentance. The farm animals and'atmosphere, the rural scenery; tlie -.village, "characters" (male and female),, and'the tavern types are most interestingly,, presented;, and .even the tavern brawl •' (a real mix-up) '•' and the burning wheat Stack dp not" destroy .the final impression of a beautiful,:, peaceful rural England. -An actor of Mr.: Fendall's calibre cannot-'full- to make a success 'of the hero; Mr.f Sam.Liyeset shows his character-drawing skiUas the jealous fanner; andithaWo ladles are both-excellent In, their utterly-different'ways.- ■ "Mr. asm— The Conqueror". is one of the few. pictures one could see twice. Not less important is the British success in instructional work as evidenced by the "Great Crested Grebe" (British Instructional Films), which should • interest ornithologists, - all blrd-lovers, and note least those ladles and gentlemen now busying themselves in Wellington in the cause of instructional films; The grebe build Island nests In reedy, water. "The Silly Symphony" is the most artistic and musical' sound: cartoon to date,-and-includes 'a charming- minuet: to Mozart • music. •■- • Tuckett's -glimpses- of Luxor, the Valley, of the Kings,•■and the avenue of sphinxes are beautiful indeed." 'vA'little girl bell-, ringer," ;a-singing" stoker", .and. a ".good, gazette help to -make up a programme which grips at every point. : - •

PARAMOUNT THEATRE. Thrills coupled with a stirring story characterise "War Correspondent," the feature Mm of the Paramount Theatre's new programme, screened for. the first time yesterday. The roeent civil wars in China are made the background of the story, which is the age-old eternal, triangle thehie. The two male angles are those celebrated" screeu rivals, Half Graves and Jack Holt, who will bo remembered for the thrills they provided •in "Flight," "Dirigible," and "Submarine." The former in the present picture, is a radio war correspondent, something' new". since tho days of the Great War, whilst the latter is- a fearless dare-devil American" aviator, who, having thrown In his lot. as a soldier of fortuno with the Chinese receives for his exploits in (he air tho highest decorations China can give. Somo of these exploits open the film, and one sees the Intrepid aviator bring destruction -single-handed to a whole squadron of hostile 'bomMnc aeroplanes, many of which are actually seen to fall and crasli in flames, But this Is only a small part of-the thrills of the film. The apex of the trianglo; and an attractive one too, over which these two he-men plot, plan, scheme, and .fight, is the beautiful LHa Lee. Which of tho two will-win in the end may be guessed by tho shrewd from the outset, but the final dlscomsture of the' loser is jiot brought about until after many tense moments and exciting scenes,, which Include a capture by bandits and a rescue by aeroplane. The subject and setting, of this picture lends itself admirably, to all the tricks of the trade and there, is hardly a dull moment, even if somf of the scenes and incidents are•• a trifle improbable. The supporting programme contains several items of excellence, such as news-reels and an amusing cartoon. There Is considerable merit in a burlesque on a radio bed-time story, one. which will not fail to raise a hearty laugh. :
