ENTERTAINMENTS.

LYCEUM PICTURES. 11 SATURDAY. ! Some men get queer freak ideas ■ about marriage, but the limit that way seems to be reached in the new Pathe comedy-drama, "All Wrong," starring Bryant Washburn in the role of a young husband with original ideas about things. He finds his originality a paying proposition in the art of salesmanship, but when it comes to matrimony he discovers that you might as well monkey with a buzz-saw as try innovations with the ancient rules of Hymen. His idea about marriage was "sweethearts always,'' and after the knot was tied he'told his pretty young wife (who by the way is Mildred Davis in the cast), that*he intended to go on just as in their courtship days, and that Wednesday would be his night for calling. With this dismal outlook for the future the young wife settles down, but it is not long before the sweethearting business receives 1 few shocks. How the fad is killed in tne end forms the basis of a great tittle comedy-drama, in which Bryant Washburn scores a big success. The supports are topical and scenic. MONDAY. j "LIFE'S GREATEST PROBLEM." The story is founded on the U.S.A. "Work or 'Fight" law, the action showing how four loafers of the different classes in the community are caught in a slacker round-up and introduced to the realities of life. Dick Craig is the ne'er-do-well son of a millionaire shipbuilder, spoilt by his mother. He marries his father's typiste, who eventually leaves him in disgust at his dissolute ways and disappears. She is about to commit suicide, thoroughly disheartened, when .she encounters big Steve Reardon, a cheerful and soundly lazy tramp whose whole object in life is to escape work. He has a pal, Little Lefty, with the same enthusiasm for ••.voiding toil. Then comes the "Work or Fight" round-up, and Dick Craig, Big Steve Reardon, and Little Lefty are caught. From now on the story takes a new twist. An attempt to blow up the enormous shipbuilding jards is foiled bv Little Lefty, and all ends hateilv. This is one of the best films that has been screened in Pukekohe for a long time. No extra charge is being made.
