CAPITOL PICTURES. NGATEA A&D NETHERTON. THE CUP OF FURAL Tiie picturisation of the famous novel, “The Cup of Fury,” is to be screened at. Ngatea to-nignt, Friday, and. at Netherton on Monday, February 12. This picture, judged from every angle of production, excellence, and box-office value,, is a notable triumph. It is a triumphi for the great revolutionary step which has been taken by the Goldwyn in effecting the personal co-operation of authors in the screening of their stories. It tells the story of a pampered daughter of the rich. A dancing, pleasure-loving butterfly, she found her wits pitted against the most gigantic problem facing the country to-day. On one side beckoned the old life of pleasure, gaiety, and ease ; on the other side, a life of drab toil anl sweat fraught with hardship and privation. And in the balance hung the fate of starving humanity.
