ENTERTAINMENTS

FINE COMEDY DRAMA AT TOW(N HALL. “In Love with Love,” the seven reel leading picture at the Town Hall to-night is the story of a girl of the modern type —gay, restless, and exceedingly attractive and entirely without conscience. She is continually surrounded by ardent suitors, and keeps them all dangling helplessly for her own amusement. She let them make love to her, she accepts their rings, and then she gave back the rings and sent them away. She didn’t get what she wanted until —hut why spoil a good story. A special comedy “Grief in Baghdad” which features Max, Pep and Moritz is another item in the programme which also includes “Age of Oil” and Fox News. Prices as usual.

On Monday evening a double feature programme will be screened. No. 1 feature is Edna Ferber’s amusing drama “A Gay Old Dog” in which John Cumberland plays the “Old Dog" and the 2nd feature a 5-reel western thrill “Wolves of the Border. “The latest Topical Budget is also screening. Usual Prices.

A special treat at next Wednesday’s Cabaret will be the only Foxton screening of the great drama of stage fame, “East of Suez.” Pola Negri plays the role made famous in New Zealand hv Muriel Starr. ROYAL PICTURES. . “One Year to Live,” M. C. Levee’s First National production, which will be screened at the Royal theatre tonight, is a story dealing with a girl who is told that she has only one year to live and proceeds to live it as recklessly as she knows how. The expected thing would he that the essential and most poignant parts of that one year are left to the imagination. Let him who wants pure and undulterated description and coherence in his entertainment look to “One Year to Live” as a brilliant example. It is embodied frankness of expression. Commencing at 7.45.

A large and very appreciative audience were last night kept in roars of laughter by “Jerry” and “Nellie Kelly,” the pals of Carlton Max the Prince of ventriloquists who appears again tonight in a complete.change of programme.
