ROYAL PICTURES.

Patrons who have enjoyed Olive Thomas’ work in the past will certainly tike “Everybody’s Favourite.” It lias a'pleasing story, a good cast, and is directed in a most interesting manner. The story is of the come-dy-drama variety, and resembles somewhat the “Pollyanna” variety. Although Olive Thomas handles the dramatic moments in this production in it convincing manner, never overacting, it is in the comedy relief that she excels. This picture will be shown to-night. To-morrow night “The Story of the Rosary” will be the special feature. In this, Walter Howard, the celebrated playwright, executed om> of those happy strokes of genius which are made only-once or so in a generation, and which retain their charm and emotional appeal unimpaired by time, and changing taste. Based on the famous poem and song, the words of which are worldknown, “The Story of the Rosary” tells the story of a devoted -couple separated by war and intrigue, and guided and inspired by the song through their long period of separation. Mrs L. Bullard has kindly consented to sing “The Rosary” during the screening of the picture. It must he noted that this is not the picture that was shown in Foxton some years ago. The prices of admission for this special feature will be Is and 2s, plus tax, children halfprice.
