ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. \

“THE SCRAPPER.”

‘‘The Scrapper” is the Universal special attraction, starring Herbert Rawlinson, which is to be screened this evening. It is r the story of a dashing young Irishman right out of college and endowed with a hankering for two things—work and romance. And ho has the sunniest sort of a nature. If lie’s winning his only boast is, “I had ye there—yes I did !” When he is being beaten, he doesn't pull a iong face and set his chin like that of a bulldog trying to surs round the. neck of a. collie with a twoinch jaw. He grins and waits till the clouds roll by with philosophical good nature. But he isn’t slow. Oh boy, no ’ He tries to kiss a girl the first time he meets her, and because she won’t do it he retaliates by marrying her before tbe finish.

SATURDAY NIGHT. “NOMADS OF THE NORTH.” James Oliver Curwobd, whose latest photoplay of the Far North, “Nomads of the North,,” at the Central Theatre to morrow night, is also the author of “Back to God’s Country" and “The River’s End.” It is said hie has more than sustained the reputation he achieved for himself in these two in his most recent effort, which is described as an unusual spectacle of human love and villainy contrasted with animal fidelity and justified ferosity, It is a picture of big moments, and not the least thrilling is the great fire and the deadly struggle between a man and a huge bear, the latter fighting to save the. life of his mistress. It is a big picture in every way. MONDAY NIGHT. “THE KID.” Charlie Chaplin as the foster father to a two-weeks-old' baby! It took the comedian himself to imagine playing such a role, and from it he wrote one of the funniest and most ludicrous comedies which lias ever been made for the screen. It is entitled “Tne Kid,” and under the designation First National’s six reels of joy will be the attraction for Monday night,. ‘1922 REVEILLE.”

“The 1922 Reveille” will open at T'e Aroha to-night for a season of six nights. The object is for tlie purpose of purchasing a motor, ambulance. The production is to be on a magnificent scale, better even t'hat that attempted at Thames JasY month. Seats ntay be booked with W. WObds, chemist, Te Arolia,
