LYCEUM PICTURES.

WEDNESDAY. "To every man once in his life comes the decision between supreme light and intolerable wrong," and in Cynthia Stockley's great novel ol South African life, "The Claw," the decision comes to Maurice SUir, atter the grievous wrong he has done his friend and the girl he loves. "Ihe Claw" is picturised by the belect firm and produced as a starring vehicle for Clara Kimball Young. It offers more than exceptional opportunities to the lovely Clara and her own company, prominent among whom are Jack Holt us Stair, and Milton Sills as Kim, "the man who wore earrings." The popular novel makes a line picture—its dramatic value is enhanced in the picturization, and its atmosphere is novel and at the same time engrossing. This is the principal feature for tomorrow evening's screening. An addition attraction will be the great light between Joe Beckett and Georges Carpentier for the championship of Europe. The Trince of Wales attended this fight and is to be seen in the picture.

SKATINQ. This evening, also Thursday and Friday as usual. Hockey players will help by bringing their own sticks. CANTATA. An entertainment of a somewhat unusual character in Pukekohe lately is that to be held on Thursday, August 12, when the cantata "Daniel" will be rendered by the Methodist Choir, assisted by musical friends. A line programme of vocal and instrumental items, in which 35 artists will take part, gives a guarantee of something good on a grand scale. Half the proceeds are to be devoted to the choir fund, and half towards beautifying Pukekohe.
