We registered profound astonishment when Florence Vidor followed tlio dolourc •• Barbara Fricteliie " with the role of a typical Broadway show girl j M Die .Mirage,” hut we received a greater and more pleasant surprise upon reviewing •• The Girl of Gold.” "hicli will he shown for the first time at the Princess Theatre on Friday next. In this brilliant drama of New York society, .\fiss \ idor reveals yet another phase of her always pleasing personality and in the role of the pampered daughter ol a millionaire mine owner who has lots ol money hut no social prestige, she does some of the finest work of her career. She has completely changed her personality for this part, and in a blonde wig she is a new and even more charming .Miss Vidor, retaining all her old sweetness and grace. The pciture itself is a tale of a girl who

has everything hut the thing she wants most love. There is a note of novelty in a fashionable dunce held down in a gold mine, .fust when the hilarity is at its height, lhe mine caves in and traps the frantic party far beneath the earth. All are saved but the hero and heroine and the scene in which the two await death together is one ol rare tenderness and appeal. .Miss Vidor is siippporte.l by a splendid east, including .Malcolm .McGregor. Alan Rescue, Bessie Fyton. ( laire Du Urey, and Charles French. I here are some sumptuous sets and lavish gowns that will make an especially strong appeal to the feminine fans.

V. hat a famous Physician thinks about, smoking: "Tobacco,” says the eminent medical .authority. Sir Bruce Porter, "is an extraordinary comfort to a grout many. I would particularly wish, to assure old folks so that they inMv no! !.•(> tormfiod I nun tuijuvinis one of the few pleasures that remain to people of advanced years. Tobacco in moderation is not going to do you any harm.” Of c ourse it isn’t ! When smoking proves harmful it is because' the tobacco contains too much Nicotine. The American brands are more or less full of the poison. The unrest tobaccos on the market are produced here in New Zealand. Von can not eliminate nicotine entirely from tobacco, but our New Zealand brands contain very iittle. That's- why you u ui smoke them till day long and take the fact 'that the leaf is toasted—quite .1 new idea! Ask for “Riv-tr-hend Gold” mild, ‘‘N'avv Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and "Cut Plug No. If!” (Bullihoad) full .strength. Advt.
