AMUSEMENTS.

f> 9 PICTURES. TO-NIGHT 1 TO-NIGHT! Tliore are'few stars that have the natural charm and beauty that are possessed by Olive Thomas, whose fame l as the Harrison Fisher girl brought her into' prominence with the Ziegfeld Follies. Her latest Selzniek attraction at the Princess Theatre', ‘Darling Mine’ reveals her in a new light,, that! of an Irislr coleen, simple and mnsophisticatecl hilt ’with a natural fund of wit and hu indur, common to her native land, of the shamrocks. Interesting contrasts of life are a feature of the picture', and the star is seen, at her best in a role that gives her ample scope to display her charming whimsicality and beauty, i 4 Topical B udget, “Go as You, Please” Comedy., and .Educational Weekly will [ also be screened to-night. [ On Thursday D. W. Griffith’s greatest ! picture to date “The Greatest Ques- ; tion” and Charlie Chaplin in “A Day’s ■ pleasure?, completes one of the best ! programmes even shown to a Hokitika i audience. In “The Greatest Question” | you will see the man who defied God—i crippled, in the direst poverty, hornelless in his old age. his wife suffering, | his soil slain, even as Job, bowed down | by his terrible grief, by afflictions seem- \ ingly beyond human endurance, thb j man of simple, kindly nature, cries out j against Fate—against God—defies him, j then defies him with the startling sacrilege: “There is rio God! There is no God!” Ysfi will feel with him. and sympathise—and you will be glad when the turn in Fortune’s wheel brings hetter and happier days. You will laugh for a week after! seeing Charlie | Cliaplin in “A Day’s’Pleasure.” Charlie in a' Ford Car is a scream. You must see him. Pollards symphony orchestra will supply a tip-top programme of selected airs. ' '■ >r "' '
