ENTERTAINMENTS.

- TU NICHT\ (TUESDAY) . '*' “Nothing Else Matters,” to be screened to-night, is without doubt ap exceptional British film in the technical Sense and a good entertain- • ment. Its direction and photography > are superb, and acting of at least . two characters exceptionally good,- , and the production holds the atten- * • , 1 n tion right to the encL . * 'V THURSDAY, JULY 7. “A GREAT COUP.” In “A Great Coup,” the great Eng- v ‘iish production 'of Nat Gould’s fine ' story of the turf, one of the finest v of a thrilling race is ’ seen—-si splendid start and a most * intense finish, with a lady jockey winping .by a head. The exhibition ; of* riding by Poppy Wyndham is phe- • nomenal. This talented star displays/, many accomplishments in the picture, • nr which she is supported by Gregory Scott and Stewart Rome. “A Great-.? Coup” is typical of England’s best in the. producing line, and will stand ‘ even the closest examination for./ flaws —it has none. To an already attractive programme is added the . Vitagraph super-comedy “The Fly'? Cop” in which Larry Sernon, that* king of laugh-seducers, repeats the-; hilarious success he made with hisU “Grocery Clerk.” V COMINGv “KING OF THE CIRCUS.” y -•>. • !;■ . - . ■ -- ~ ' ; .... * A GREAT SERIAL. * ; ' The-management of the Strand pic-’. ,' lures bfg .to announce that they have’ been extremely Ricky in securing that. -\ great serial “King of the Circus.”., t This serial is recognised by authorities as the best serial ever' * produced. AH ' the . leading picture 5 i halls of New Zealand are going to- '/ .show “The King,” and the renters; are having great trouble in selecting. : the first houses, aft big money has ;been offered by shine companies to * get ap early screening. Pukekohe be-G. ing ah old Universal client and not - very far from Auckland, the renters ;have decided to let us screen it, so..*, we are fortunate enough to have the Jl' serial booked to start on July 14. The * star performer is - Eddie Polo v(who ' appeared here recently in the “Van- ’.. ishing Dagger”) and-the risks he took-..-/ in the production made the insurance companies ! feei hll jelly fish, although they abstracted a heavy premium on his life policy. ' Tbs stqtry is woven around a young circus performer

whose parentage is a mystery, strivihg against great odds to solve this mystery c and win , his rightful herx-

tage. He is assisted by a beautiful

and jsyealthy girl, and finally brings to a just punsihmeht an-'un-

scrupulous circus manager, the cause

of the trouble^
