ON THE SCREEN.

' « “ Flying Colours.”

Bright and original from start to finish is the Triangle drama “ Flying Colours ” to be screened atMatamata on Saturday. William Desmond is most attractive in the leading role, and there are two pretty Triangle actresses in the cast. The hero is a college graduate who finds that a clerk’s job is unbearable, and his want of tact soon loses it. He hunts for work then, and as a desperate expedient joins the forces of a private detective agency. He has an unexampled run of luck, and manages after startling adventures, to apprehend a long wanted and clever jewel thief. Thus the house he had entered as a sleuth, i eventually becomes home for him, and the pretty daughter also falls to his portion. Mary Mclvor, as 1 the pretty typiste who is annoyed I at Desmond’s misplaced chivalry, I has a small role but it is * supremely clever. The programme is made complete with a comedy of 2000 feet, entitled “ Maiden’s Trust," and a late Gaumont Graphic.
