THE PALACE THEATRE.

At the Palace Theatre to-night a big programme will be presented. In additon to the usual budget of war pietures, a special "small" feature of half-an-hour's duration will be shown. This is "With the N.Z.E.F. in the Middle East." During the last advance by the New Zealanders in Libya certain German-made films were captured and these are what are being screened. They show the actual landing of troop-carrying planes and gliders on Crete and close-up views of New Zealanders who were taken prisoners on the beaches of the island. The feature film is "Call Out the Marines." Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe are back in the Marine Corps! The quarrelling, romancing devil-dogs whose exploits won them undying fame in "What Price Glory" and "The Cockeyed World," are teamed again in an exciting modern comedy-drama of the Service. The story presents the pair as old buddies who accidentally meet in civilian life after a long separation, and who go to the races to celebrate. There they meet the attractive Vi (Binnie Barnes), an entertainer at a waterfront cafe patronised by Service men and, unknown to them, a member of a foreign spy ring. How they get mixed up in the espionage tangle and eventually muddle out all right, the story tells. '•.he usual Sunday night session i will be held. -
