ENTERTAINMENTS.

“OUR PICTURES.”

“ALWAYS IN THE WAY.”

There was a, full house at Ihe Town Hall last night to witness the initial screening of what is undoubted! y one of the lines! pictures yet screened at the people’s popular picture house. The picture is something entirely different from anything that lias yet been shown, and the fascinating ‘Mary Miles jVlinter bids fair to rival the invincible Mary Fickford. During the screening of (ho him, (lie song “Always in the Way” was beautifully rendered by Miss Doris Signal, the song blending with the picture faultlessly, and was greeted with loud and sustained applause. The supporting pictures were varied and interesting, and constituted a programme such as can be seen only at “Our Pictures.” The programme will be repealed to-night. .FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Another Metro masterpiece has been secured for the change of programme on Friday and Saturday, “The • Bridge, or the Bigger Alan,” featuring Henry Kolker, who is well-known to theatre-goers in New Zealand. A newspaper comment: —“The latest Metro, ‘The Bridge, or the Bigger Man,’ abounds in dramatic scenes and gripping incidents. There is a delightful heroine in the person of Rene Kelly, and a stalwart hero, Henry Kolker, well-known to theat-re-goers in New Zealand from his appearances with Margaret Anglin. The photography is uniformly exexeellent, and the acting reaches a high standard. A few scenes will long be remembered —a riot between strikers and strike-breakers, and the intervention of military. The story of the Bridge is preceded by a series of beautiful instructive pictures illustrating the relations between capital and labour from the earliest days of the world’s tory.”A strong programme of lilms will support the star item in this entertainment.
