ICING’S HALL. FRIDAY". SATURDAY" AND MONDAY. Mr Briton re-opens to night, after having closed down in sympathy with the sad mining disaster, with an especially fine programme, the principal film is “• The Heartless Woman ” which answers pictorially the question “ What is life without Love ? ” The story is that of a woman who is deprived of the blessing of love to such an extent that she is regarded as heartless. The chief projection for Saturday night is entitled " The Romance of a Photograph” featuring Miss Flo Lawrence in a unique and clever role. In order to s.ave herself from an alliance with a husband chosen by her parents, the heroine produces a photo which she d lares to be that of her lover. The original of the photo turns out to be an enterprising burglar who, in the course of his nocturnal business, enters l':e home of tin Lyceum Pictures. MINERS’ HALL, TO-NIGHT. A stupendous series of premier star programmes has been arranged for stiffs week end, (he el feature for to-night being the huge dramatic masterpiece “In the Bishop’s Carriage,” showing that gifted and popular actress, Miss Mary Pickford at her best in a brilliant role. This is an immense play of the underworld, and a virile and vigorous reproduction over 4,000 feet in length. It is realistic, lifelike and sensational and has created a furore wherever shown. In addition to an entertaining pictorial menu the management have been fortunate in securing Mr Norman, the well-known tenor, who will render ” The Veteran” in his usual inimitable style. No doubt a good house will reward the company’s enterprise. For this Saturday and Monday, Mr Calcicr announces that he has secured that famous premier picture “The Battle of Waterloo.” This film is easily the most stupendous production i:i the world, and totally eclipses in magnitude and merit all previous battle depictions. It cost £50,000 to produce, and over 3,000 cavalry took part in its production; It is historically accurate, and the course of the great battle which settled the destinies of Europe for 100 years is vividly pictured from firing the first shot to the ultimate shattering of Napoleon's army. Special music to suit this picture will be played by Mr Darby’s orchestra. This programme is particularly appropriate at the present moment, and everyone in Huntly should make an effort to see it. The Usual mid-week change on Tuesday. Box plan at “ Press ” office.
