The Supporting cast is a strong one Mr. Walsh plays the part of Old Bill. THE POPULAR PICTURES. 'DON'T CHANGE YOUR HUSBAND.'| By special arrangement with the , Paramount Film Service, Popular Pic-1 tures will screen in the Oddfellows' Hall on Tuesday, July 20, a picture that will prove one of the best co-medy-dramas ever shown in Pukekohe, a picture generally considered as showing Lewis Cody at his best, as the star artist in "Don't Change Your Husband." Patrons are advised not to miss their opportunity to see this picture. It will prove the most enjoyable vet seen at the Oddfellows' Hall. It can be shown only on Popular Pictures usual show night, Tuesday, and on the one night only. Watch the "Times" closely for further particulars, and also, later, for prices of admission. But don't miss the picture at any price, and not only ladies will be interested in "Don't Chance Your Husband." To-night's programme is advertised.

LYCEUM PICTURES. The star feature for to-morrow right (Wednesday) introduces Constance Talmadge in Cosmo Hamilton's tantalising comedy-drama, 'Who Cares." Here'.s a problem: Is a husband responsible for the actions of his wife? The answer is found in "Who Cares," and the Aristotle who furnishes the answer is Constance Talmadge. In this play she is the embodiment of vibrant youth and seductive glamour of early springtime. She went out to have a good time, and not even her husband could stop her. And then the good time comes to a sudden end when she discovers her husband is doing the same. Sauce for the goose is good theory, but bad practice. So Connie decided to settle down to the domestic responsibilities of iife. An animal study and gazette complete i good programme.

"RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE."

This powerful story, which was originally booked for Pukekohe on March 30, and which owjng to the rough weather prevailing, aid not arrive in time for screening, is now to be shown at the Premier Hall on Tuesday next. This picture, previonly advertised, is familiar to the public. Here is what one noted crjtic wrote of Zane Grey's "Riders of the Purple Sage," which is even more fascinating in its visualized form:— •1 have not found Zane Grey's equal. He is real. His stories leap from the covers -they live, they breathe, they carry the reader away- -into the realms they live in; they are inspiring; they are ennobling; they strengthen the weak and make the tired rise to renewed effort. His grasp of the real man and woman is wonderful. He makes the desert live, and bloom, and heal. He is a rest, a helper, a healer. One touhes the soul of the Indian, the spirit of the desert, the power of the silence, the life in desolation. His appeal to the hjghest and best in human nature, and his keen penetration of different types of men and women are, in my estimation, far beyond any other author I have ever read." The admission charges -ire: Adults 2s and Is 6d (plus tax). Children 6d and Is. Reserves at The Bookery. 3d extra.
