SATURDAY

A big picture with a big cast, "Dolly's Vacation." heads the bill at the Premier Hall to-morrow evening.] The worries of ar. uncle suddenly called on to entertain his precocious little neice are a laughable feature of the new Pathe comedy-drama, "Dolly's Vacation," starring Baby Marie Osborne as a daughter of the proprietor of McKenzie's works, where there is a strike on. Dolly is sent out of the way during the strike trouble, but her uncle tells her father he'd sooner have the strike on his hands than Dolly. Then she gets lost in the woods with her nigger playmate, Ebenezei Excema Abraham White, and then the real fun begins. But you'd never guess what settled the strike. The supports are strong, and include gazette, comedy and an interest study. MONDAY NEXT.

"Ginger Mick,'' as told by his cobber, "The Sentimental Bloke." The extraordinary and instantaneous success of "The Sentimental Bloke." which broke all records in pictureland and which continues to pack houses throughout Australasia, is sufficient recommendation for its sequel, "Ginger Mick." This second Australian six-reel screen classic, presented by E, J. Carroll, is even better than its famous predecessor.

The story is skilfully woven around | the three central figures, (linger Mick i (Gilbert Emery), The Moke (Arthur Tauchert), and Doreen (Lottie Lyell) without sacrificing in any detail the incidents accorded in the original verses by C. J-. Dennis. The departure of Ginger Mick for the war, and his glorious deeds and death at the front afford splendid opportunities for dramatic contrasts between the simple nome life of the Bloke anil the clamour and tumult of the battlefield. It is this departure from the ordinary routine of things that adds extra interest to "Ginger Mick," and at the same time enables the producer to achieve magnificent photographic results. The doings of Ginger Mick, "The Rorty Boy," "The Naughty Boy," his troubles with the "cops." his methods ■'with the "chows," his rough lovemaking with his sweetheart. Rose, his departure for the front, his life on Gallipoli, his cobber "Keith," "who wears perjarmer soots and cleans his teeth," his glorious finish, and the reception of the news by those who

"understood" and loved him, form a rale that will' stir the emotions of everv heart.

The admission charges are: Adults 2s and Is lid (plus tax). Children Is and (id.
