"CHILDREN OF EYE."

Premier Hall, Wednesday and Friday. "A picture that dares to reveal the truth; that will do more good than sermons and political promises; that carries in it a powerful lesson and warning to humanity, and which in itssit is one of the most tense and Striking dramas that has been seen on the American screen, with some happy touches of humour, a fascinating love story, and deep emotional acting by Miss Viola Dana and a strong cast of Edison players." Thus a prominent New York journal writes of "The Children of Eve," the 5000 ft Edison

feature-drama to b«- screened for the first tint; in Pukekohe at the Premier Hall to-moriow night. The Edison Go. are noted for the excellence of their pictures, only turning out one feature-film a month and aa a rule they tell not merely an intensely interesting story, but they convey some powerful message tbe Ediioi Co. being among the first to realise the mighty power of the screen. Who, having seen it, mil forget "The Stoning," and Viola Dana's truly great portrayal in that intense picture? The "Children of Eve" is, it has been ackowledged, a greater picture than "The Stoning," and Miss Dana is seen in a much stronger part. Many sensational incidents, including what is claimed to be the mast realistic fire scene ever scriened, have been introduced into this forcible story of life in New York. A good supporting programme, including the "Patbc Gazette," a clever animal study, and a bright Vitagraph comedy, has been arranged.

Tbe programme will be repeated on Friday evening.
