To-morrow the star will bo 1 ‘His Own Home Town,” featuring that .clever actor, Charles Bay. The story is that of a young man with a vaulting ambition, but whose opportunities in Jus own home town arc restricted. He leaves for a time, wins fame as a playwright, then returns home, becomes an editor, cleans up the town which is dominated by a band of political plunderers, and thereby wins not only the adulation of his fellow townsmen, but the love of an adorable girl.

“KENT, THE FIGHTING MAN.” Tlie story opens in a West End gambling club, and John Wcsterlcy forges his father’s name to a cheque for £2OOO, in order to liquidate debts of honour. Ilis father disowns him, and he decides to fight his own way ill the world. In liis wanderings he rescues Constance Ferdinand, who has met with an accident. In time her brother falls a victim to the gambling hell at Oswald House, and invites the two cardsharpers who have fleeced both Wcsterlcy and himself to visit his home in the country. Meanwhile Wcsterlcy joins up- with a travelling circus, and eventually finds himself engaged in very crude fisticuffs with tlie circus bully. A member of the circus, Jem Dace, cx-elmm-•pion of England, sees promise in the lad and urges him to study the noblo art. Wcsterlcy’s father comes into touch with the circus proprietor, and after comparing notes they find that both their sons have been ruined by the same cardsharpers, Jimmy Greenback and his pal. Sampson, the circus proprietor, has made tin oath to revenge himself on Greenback, and finallv seeures an introduction to him at Oswald House. Young Wcsterlcy lias now became “Kent, the Fighting Man,” and Sampson, by elfcver work, inveigles* the cardsharpers to stake all their wealth on Batten, who has' been selected to oppose Kent. Greenback has in the meantime been seeking the hand of Ferdinand’s sister, Constance, in marriage, and has trumped up an lOU on Ferdinand to gain .his support in pressing his suit; ■but Constance appeals to Kent for help, and he bundles the’ sharpers out of Ferdinand’s home. Then the day of battle arrives. Kent, the fighting man, is clearly the favourite with the audience. The actual fighting is great, Wells, as Kent, displaying all his remarkable science and art of ring? raft, and finally knocks out his opponent in a game encounter. Greenbrick. having lost his all, shoots himself, and thus Sampson avenges tlie death of his son. It is a virile story of life, love and spar.. 1 The picture will be shown at Otaki I on Triday next (10th inst.)
