ON THE SCREEN.

Borrowed Plumage. The fascinating and pretty drama “ Borrowed Plumage,” will be screened at Matamata on Saturday. Madcap Nonie is a kitchen wench in a castle on the seacoast of Scotland. She has always longed to investigate the apartments of the lords and ladies upstairs, and one day her opportunity arrives when Pauli John Jones arrives with his pirate band, and everyone but Nonie flees the castle. In the boudoir of the lady of the castle she arrays herself in the sliks and brocades of the absent beauty, and is received with acclaim by the English officers when they arrive to combat the landing of Jones and his men. Meantime an emissary of Jones has arrived and recognises in Nonie a former sweetheart whom he had left in Ireland some years before. How he risks his neck in order to be near her, and how she saves him constitute an action full of thrills and surprises. A programme that should please all fans will also include the 2000 ft comedy “ Tom’s Tramping Troupe,” Gaumont Graphic and Scenic, and the sixth instalment of the detective serial “ The Black Box.”
