ENTERTAINMENTS.

MUNICIPAL PICTURES.

The management of the above has spared no little trouble to arrange for an exceptionally good programme for each performance during the present week. Space will not permit us to describe in full the various programmes, but briefly we may state that Wednesday’s programme is as under. The star film, “The Court Dancer,” is a most absorbing story taken from Dumas’ well-known novel, “The Three Musketeers,” and is suppoited by the following : “Signals in the Night,” comic ; “The Soldier’s Return,”. drama ; “Boots he Could not hose,” comic; “Austrian Mounted Cavalry,” interest ; “The Waif of the Mountains,” drama; “Barcelona,” scenic; “Bringing a Husband to Book,” drama: “The Masher,” comic. The programme for Thursday is another that will be much appreciated. The star film, “The Cow-boy-Millionaire,” tells how a cowboy inherits a fortune, and how he takes up city life, and when he and his cowboy friends see a heroine in a drama persecuted, they get carried away, and make things warm all round. This is supplemented by the following : “From Out of the Past,” drama ; “A Preacher for a Day,” comic ; “The Blind Cattle King,” drama : The Evolution of a Title,” trick ; “A Prisoner of War,” drama; “The River Chinet,” scenic; “Ben Saunder’s Sacrifice,” drama ; “Lea in a Bank,” comic. As a number of Scotch patrons have expressed .a wish to see the great “ivanhoe” film again, it has been arranged that in addition to the ordinary programme lor Saturday night, that “Ivanhoe” shall be screened to meet the wishes of those desiring it, and as so many were so pleased with the previous screening of this remarkable picture, there should be a good house to witness it. The other items of the programme will be:—-“The Eclair Journal,” topical; “His Nephew from Labrador,” comic; “Nantes,” scenic; “Under the Shadow of the Law,” drama ; “The Drummer’s Vacation,” comic; “Pathe’s Animated News,” topical; “Three to One,” comic. From the above it will be seen that there is a different programme for each night--no showing the same programme twice —therefore it is felt that the patrons of the Municipal Pictures will have a most varied assortment to choose from, and no doubt their appreciation will be marked by bumper houses. To the ratepayers we can confidently say, support your own pictures and study your own pockets.
