TOWN HALL.

An excellent British production which should satisfy the hardest to please movie patron, is the British Dominion’s film, “Wild Cat Hetty,” to be screened at the Town Hall on Friday. The photography, acting and production is equal to anything iii any feature yet seen in Australasia, and that delightful British artist, Alabel Boulton, fulfils the promise shown in her earlier films, of being star of Hetty, she gives a splendid characterisation with facile and convincing ease. The picture is hers. The story, which is adapted from the play by Florence Kilpatrick, concerns a young professor who maintains that the importance of heredity is exaggerated, and the roan is circumstance made. After watching a slum girl fighting, and 'being worsted, he takes her to her poverty-stricken home. With his Aunt’s consent, she becomes an inmate of .'their mansion to the annoyance of a young’ lady and the disgust of the corpulent butler. At first the experiment is a failure, but a transformation gradually takes place, and the little spitfire becomes refined. A young artist paints her portrait, makes advances, and jeopardizes her reputation, to the delight of the supercilious young lady. Love draws the young scientist and the girl together. With comedy and News. Usual prices. Myrna Loy, William Russell and ConSrad Nagel are the featured players in “The Girl from Chicago,” a melodrama staged in the underworld of Chicago. This will be Saturday’s attraction.
