ON THE SCREEN.
•' Tjames of Chance. Margery Wilson, . last, scon asJ “ Biwn-Eyos ” in r Intolerance ” is the heroine of the original Triangle play “Plaines of Clianco” to be screened at Matamata on Saturday. The story is based on the sweet custom which grow up in Franco of ladies adopting soldiers at the front as godsons. In this case a room is shown in New York full of war relief workers, and the dainty heroine is persuaded to adopt three prisoners of war at Wittenburg camp. She writes them regularly, and hears all their troubles, many of which would riot have been confessed if she had not lead them to believe that she was an old rheumaticky invalid. Then to her horror, one of them wires that lie is on his way home, and lie duly arrives. The plot is quite out of the way for the mystery of a deeply laid Gorman plot is not revealed until the last moment, when as the author predicts, the “ audience will grab the arms of their chair.” The brilliant programme also includes a Triangle 1000 feet comedy, a cartoon picture and two Gaumont graphics.
