ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURESPatrons Please Note. —Regarding the distribution of the gold watches, which are running in conjunction with the Robinson Crusoe serial, the last sedtion of the map will be given out to-day and to-night. Now, as we are not allowed to draw for the winners by ballot, as it is an offence making us liable to prosecution, we have decided this way: The children have to paste their maps together on a piece of cardboard, bring it with them to the pictures on Wednesday night next. There will be a certain person selected, and his name will ne flashed on the screen, and where he is likely to parade. The first boy and the first girl handing him the complete map will be declared the winners. The second boy and the second girl shall have a month’s free pictures. This will close the competition, which is entirely for. school children.—Woods and Jennings. CAPITOL PICTURES. NGATEA PUBLIC HALL. THE ROOKIES RETURN. innumerable well-conceived comedy situations, as unusual as they are laughable, are presented in Douglas Mac Lean’s latest Paramount picture, “The Rookie’s Return,” which is to be screened* in the Nga.tea Hall this evening. The pictiure tells the story of a youthful soldier, no longer .1 rookie, who returns to Wrestle with the problem of adjusting himself to the humdrum existence of civilian life. However, he finds that conditions are not as devoid of action and excitement as he had thought, and his fighting blood, roused by a household of . rebellious servants, a rival for the hand of the young lady of his choice/an adopted father and other things supply him with plenty of excitement. Besides the above will be shown a two-part Mack Sennett comedy entitled “An International Sneak.”
