THE NOVELTY CONCERT. TO-MORROW NIGHT. IN AID OF THE PLUMKET SOCIETY , . __ / The novelty concert in the Premier Hall to-morrow night, in aid ot the Franklin Plunket Society, promises to be very successful from all points of view. A large committee of ladies have worked very hard in arranging a very fine and original programme—quite different from the usual concert order,. The energetic secretary of the Society (Mrs Cooper) and Mrs Pattle particularly have given a great deal of time to the work, and. it is to be hoped that public appreciation will be shown by a bumper house to-morrow night. Everyone dearly loves to get bargains ; it is inherent in human nature, and immediately after the last item of the concert there will be a big auction of gift articles. All sorts of useful and ornamental things are to be put up. Everyone is also invited, to bring along a gift for sale to help swell the funds of this very necessary and deserving society. It should, therefore, be both a pleasure and a duty to come along in very large numbers in the Premier Hal’ to-morrow evening.

“ARE ALL MEN ALIKE ?”

“A DAUGHTER OF TWO WORLDS’ 1
*" The above picture features "the world's favourite star (Norma Talmadge),. It is Leroy Scott’s most successful production, and it makes a perfect picture. Come and see it; yo i will have no regrets. Good supports are included in the programme. The plot of “A Daughter of . Two Worlds” is founded on a famous forgery case, the two participants in which received ten years’ penal servie tude. As a starring vehicle for Norma Talmadge’s debut under the banner of First National, it marks a milestone in the career of that brilliant young artist that should be memorable. Undoubtedly the finest work she has ever given the screen is shown in her interpretation of the striking role of Jennie, daughter of Black Jerry Malone, notorious dive-keeper. In her forceful presentation of the girl’s passage from the underworlds to an honoured place in society, a passage that is fraught with dangers and thrilling adventures, Missc Talmadge gives the finest piece of character acting she has done. Leroy Scott’s most usccessful novel has made a perfect picture, and it is a tribute to the emotional ability of the young star that the author’s wife, on viewing the first was moved to tears by the wonderful characterisation of her hu* band’s heroine as portrayed by Norman Talmadge.
