ENTERTAINMENTS

PALACE. PALMERSTON’S SCREEN STARS. A mixed programme of pictures and vaudeville will be presented at the Palace to-night when '‘Joe,” Beaumont Smith’s latest Australian-made picture, will be screened. It tells a human story of a little country girl working in a big Sydney shop. Her lover was drifting from her and to hold his love she secretly borrowed a dress from her employers that she might hold her own with other women who were taking him from her. Then camo The Ambassadors, Sydney’s famous cabaret. It was a night of joy, and then a match held by a jealous woman ended her dream. All that, was left was a charred, ruined frock, that she could never return. Morning, with the weary trudge to work, the discovery of her lapse, the accusal, the shame, and theln the coming of a friend in need, "Joe.” With “Joe” the management has at last arranged to screen the film taken on the stage of the Palace last year when Beaumont Smith conducted tests for finding talent in Now Zealand for some of his future productions. On enquiring from Mr Bennett as to what the pictures were like we were informed that ho has not yet had a chance to soo them but has been told that the photography was quite clear. Oliver Peacock, principal baritone with Oscar Asche'e Co., will also appear in this programme which is mado complete by a skating comedy act by Izzie and Ernest. ROSY. TOM MIX IN "TEETH.” The programme for to-night and tomorrow at the Rosy is a particularly good one. It comprises excitement, scenio grandeur, drama, comody—everything that goes (o make the ideal picture, wherein a courageous man, aided by a horse and a dog, appears in a single-handed fight for love and honour. Tom Mix is the star; Tony, the horse in this picture is even more 'marvellous, and then Duke, the dog, is the latest Mix star which really rates stellar honours. With this rugged romance, a real forest fire and a genuine love story, given many wonderful and dramatic situations, patrohs have a faint conception of what will take place in "Teeth.” The other pictures are up to the Rosy standard. „ v , PARAMOUNT. "SO LONG LETTY.” Pat good-natured Tommy Robins was a model husband. Harry Miller, his nextdoor neighbour, was Tommy’s exact opposite. He was tall and slender and wore snappy, form-fitting suits. Tommy and Harry had one thing in common, however, they both had wives. Tommy’s was a dashing blonde who dressed well; Mrs Miller cared naught for clothes, but loved her home and kitcehn. Then came the smash. Tommy thought he couldn't live another minute without Mrs Miller’s cooking and Harry believed ho wouldn’t last out the hour if he couldn’t “step out” with Mrs Robbins. They talked it over calmly. Divorce was the only solution, but not until they had exchanged wives for a week. The sequel can be seen when the famous musical comedy, “,So Long Letty.” now a brilliant screen comedy drama, commences at the Paramouht Theatre tonight. The supporting programme includes a splendid comedy, cartoon a?id Patho news, while the musical score rendered by the Paramount select orchestra under the direction of j\lrg Law will be a feature. Th.o box plans are at Swallow’s.
