ON THE SCREEN.
" Blood will Tell." The story of "Blood Will Tell," the great film to be screened at Mataraata on Saturday, deals with life of Sampson Oakley, the youngest of a family of financial giants, whose appreciation of the joy of life is greater than his interest in money-grubbing. He becomes entangled in a college scrape and is expelled because he refuses to inform on his classmates. For this he is cast loose on his own resources, and, after a season among the mid-night revellers of Broadway, finds himself with a wife and no visible means of support. Then the vigorous old blood of his ancestors asserts itself. He becomes a machinist, and finally, through his mechanical skill, is able to his father's fortunes, much to the discomfiture of the' conspirators who had planned to wreck the Oakley interests. The story is full of and is admirably screened. Two topical budgets, one of the Vitagraph Company's best comedies, and a scenic completes a specially •attractive programme.
