POSSUM PADDOCK.

A NEtf AUSTRALIAN- FEATURE / FILM.

The great Australian drama, “’Possum' Paddock,” is to .be screened at the Town Hall to-night-. This absorbing screen version of the popular play depicts the troubles and trials of the man on the land in the great out-back of Australia. The heart story of these dwellers of the bush will interest you and hold you. Honest old Andy McQuade, with his strong convictions, bis deep, love of home and country, and his determination to succeed,

must appeal to, you right, away. Then there are those wonderful laugh-makers, Bob and Anastasia. All the world loves a lover —so will you when you meet these rtfo. Then there is Nancy, who so nearly falls a victim to the wiles of the merciless spendthrift, Fred Deering. Then comes Hughie Bracken', laughing and lovable, who so nearly loses the girl of his heart, but who, like all true heroes, puts up the light of his life, and wins in the end.

. No expense has been spared in the production of' this great Australian picture. To get the real out-back atmosphere Tunny hundrds of miles had to he traversed by the actors and actresses for the production of certain out-hack scones of the drama. Unlike some Australian pictures, “’Possum Paddock” lias a human and gripping love story to commend it. It has been described as a real sunshine drama —laughter and smiles, with a tear or two. /

It will undoubtedly repeat its Australian and -Wellington success here. Patrons arc advised to he early to-night.
