The weekly matinee will he held to-morrow (Friday), at 2.30, when all children will have the opportunity of seeing the special attraction, “Treasure Island/’ for 3d.

To-morrow evening a Dorothy Gish feature, “Turning the Tables/’ will head the hill, ably supported by the latest Mack Sennett Comedy, “Advertising.” “TREASURE ISLAND.”

Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure, Island” has been adapted to the screen as a Paramount Artcraft super-special by Maurice Tourneur, and will be presented at the Town Hull on Saturday evening. By the vivid depiction of the tight at the Benbow Inn, the audience’s tense interest is caught right at the opening, and held right through the sever. reels, to the battle in the stockade, and the finding of the treasure. The sea scenes have never been excelled, and the characterisations by such stars as Shirley Mason, Lon Chaney, Bull Montana, and Sydney Dean, are equally great. Everyone has read the book, everyone should see the characters live on Saturday night.
