ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURES

The initial screening of “The Crucible” attracted a large house at Fuller’s last night. This is the story of Jean Fanshawe, a loveable little girl, brought up by her father like a boy, with all a boy’s wilfulness and mischievousness. She is constantly in trouble for her Tomboy tricks, and is the horror of hgr sedate sister Amelia, and the despair of her mother. She earns the character of a thoroughly bad girl. There are, too, many sidelights on the darker side of life —of despair, of happiness shortlived, and of final triumph. A varied list of supporting pictures constitute a tip-top programme. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. The outstanding feature of Wednesday’s change is the first film presentation of New Zealand’s greatest stage favourite, Miss Title!l-Bruue, in ‘•Esther Redeemed.” Miss Tittell Brune makes her initial bow as a film artist when she appears in the three-part dramatic feature, “Esther Redeemed,” at Fuller’s to-mor-row night. As a picture actress, Miss Tittell Brune is exceptional. Her tragedy is as impressive as her lighter work is artistic. In “Esther Redeemed” she will present a grand and almost extravagant drama, which will, no doubt, rank amongst the best films ever shown in Foxton. The story is one of the happenings in the life of a girl of I In'; slums. The years of work on the legitimate stage have made this popular aritst well known among theatre patrons, and to see her in “Esther Redeemed” will he a. pleasure from her sineere interpretation and expressions in a most difficult part, and which make the store seem more than fiction.
