LYRIC PICTURES.

I PIRE BRIGADE NIGHT NEXT WEDNESDAY. William Farnum, the Fox star, will be seen in one of his strongest screen characterizations in "Without Compromise," which comes to the Lyric pictures next Wednesday. "Without Compromise" is one of those redblooded, he-man stories of a frontier town, in which Farnum is cast as a sheriff who has his hands full with |the prim.it.ive aud |ijty'o the primitive roughnecks, and also lights a bad gang of crooked politicians to a standstill. He captures the murderer of his foster-sister after a terrible hand-to-hand battle in a cave, and thi'ii holds a lynching mob at buy single-handed.

Stirring romance and red-blooded adventure are blended superbly in the new Universal thrill-serial. "The So- | cial Buccaneer," which opens at the : Lyric pictures on Wednesdav also. Jack Mulhall. star of the Jack'London "Fish Patrol" scries of pictures, tops the all-star cast in this chapterdrama. The scenes are laid in the Balkans, on the high seas ami in Wall Street, the financial hub of America. Further supporting items are a popular Sunshine comedy "Ranch Romeo," the Fox news 'and a Mutt and Jeff cartoon. Patrons are reminded that a proportion of the receipts from , this programme is to be handed to the Otaki Fire Brigade for the purpose of securing more equipment, and as this : is of vital importance to everyone in i the district, it is hoped a bumper house will be the result, so as to enable the brigade to pursue their good work.
