AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. SPECIAL BRITISH PRODUCTION -TO-NIGHT. A holiday to workers in a free country of brilliant sunshine like New Zealand is taken more or less calmly in the ordinary course of events, but to mill-workers in the drab factories of Lancashire “wakes” week, their annual holiday, seemed the realisation ol a dream. Fanny Hawthorne and her chum, Mary Hollins, were among these workers and at this particular “wakes’ week Blackpool was their goal. Once there they bade fair to spend all the savings on the many side-shows end amusements, but Mary happily caugat the eye of Allan Jeffcote, the millowner’s Son, and his friend George and thereupon - both girls entered into a whirl of “Big Dippers” and “Rocking Boats.” Blackpool at night is guaranteed to overcome any stern mood and Fanny, dancing with Allan in the Tower Ballroom, felt herself swept along on the l’oad to pleasure. She and Allan arranged to go on to Llandudno for the remainder of the week. Then came the time for return to the daily-round of work. ' Fanny came home to tragedy. Her pal Mary had been drowned. How Fanny’s vindictive mother made the most of the fact that her daughter had been away with Allan Jeffcote and how Fanny defied both families and decided to live lier own life Independently, supplies excellent entertainment in this BritishGaumont picture, “ Kindle Wakes, ■”■ a Cinema Art Films release, which will be shown at the Princess Theatre tonight. On Friday next Sydney Chaplin and Betty Balfour in a great comedy enttiled “ Skirts,” taken from the famous play “ A Little Bit of Fluff."
