ON THE SCREEN.
A relentless, implacable Wall Street magnate is the hero of " The Conqueror," the unique Triangle to bo screened at Matamata on Saturday. The story concerns a man who fought his way up from bitter poverty to overawe society which he hated and despised. Suffering from a sharp snub he sets about the ruin of Madison, which, through shilful manipulation of the markers he soon accomplishes. Then he compels Madison to promise his daughter's hand in return for mercy, and when he faces the unwilling girl he taunts her with being what she is. The play is remarkable for its settings. It portrays the idle rich set of modern America, and their manners and customs with striking vividness, and the settings are of unexampled costliness and luxury. The supporting roles are taken by Enid Markey and Louise Brownell, both of whom do work instinct with emotional power. The programme also includes a thousand feet comedy, a Gaumont graphic, and No. 3 Bairnsfather's cartoons. The Black Box will finish.
