The Town Hall orchestra will accompany the picture and will play specially selected items for the occasion. “Skipper” Francis of “Australia Will Be There” fame will sing the song he composed, “One Week of Love.” The box plan is open at Heath’s where copies of the song may be obtained. Adinission charges are 1/6 and 2/- children 6d and 1/-, plus tax, no extra charge for booking.

ROYAL PICTURES. Constance Tulmadge points a good moral in a delightfully humourous vein to all stage struck girls in her latest First National attraction, "Polly of the Follies,” at the Royal Theatre to-night. The star 1 takes a laughable dig at the tendency to throw up everything for the glamour of the footlights and shows by her own experience in this story that there’s something in home after aIL The picture is remarkable for its scenes of a “Follies” Beauty Chorus in rehearsal and for the opening night of the big show- Also a Mermaid comedy, “The Green Horn.” Prices as usual. - Don’t miss Bert Lyteli, in Idle Rich,” on Monday night.
