Friday—" Losing Weight." Weight is a hindrance to a business man —at least Hughie Mack finds it; so. He gets stuck in a doorway, is unable to get into a taxi-cab, etc., etc. What he does to reduce his weight forms one of the most hilarious comedies this favourite artist has been seen in. Among the supporting pictures .is the stirring drama " His Brother's Crime."

Saturday—A huge programme will be screened, including three big features. Douglas Fairbanks will be seen at his very best in " The Good Bad Man," a 5-act comedy drama. The last of the famous " Stingaree " 'stories — "The Darkest Hour." Also the first episode of the wonder serial " Lucille Love."

Tuesday—" Youth," a most fascinating drama with a happy ending. " Bright Lights," featuring Mabel Normand as a waitress in a small cafe, with Fatty, the cook as her lover. A traveller tells Mabel of gaiety and brighter lights. Later Fatty finds her in a low-down cabaret. The resulting rescue and fight surpasses anything erer Keystoned.
