Also a stirring picture is to be shown to-night entitled Speed Wild,” featuring the popular Maurice Flynn. THURSDAY NIGHT. GLORIOUS NEW ZEALAND. “Glorious New Zealand,” the Government Publicity Office production, will be the chief feature to be screened to-morrow night. The film is one that is commended to every New Zealander. It was described by one critic as the most beautiful scenic picture he had ever reviewed. Tiic presentation of the film >s such that a gripping interest is mai'il'iinnd throughout. The film prologue introduces scenes showing the variety of our tourist interests. A passenger lands at Auckland and is shown the extent of New Zealand mandatory powers. Samoa is. introduced, Antarctic Ross Land is shown in contrast. The glories of the. Winterless North tsart the tourist from overseas on a zig-zag tour of the Dominion. All the main features of our scenic resorts are shnwn, but, best of all, the patron who gazes at the silver sheet is shown little-known glories of our bush, mountain, fiord, and natural .history such as the tourist has seldom time to visit.
