ENTERTAINMENTS

CIVIC PICTURES. To-night will be the last opportunity afforded picture-goers of seeing that very fine artist Harold Lockwood in the screen-classic "Shadows of Suspicion.” The play shows ■the deadly injustice which can oe done a man in war time if. though he is not seen in the uniform of the country, he is, nevertheless, silently and secretly using every energy and nerve in his ’brain and body for the safety of his country’- Owing to the non-arrival of the Tom Mix picture "Ace High.” a very interesting and humourous comeilv-draina was substituted la.st evening, which'met with the complete approval of the large audience, and was productive of much mirth, and hearty applause. Intending patrons would do w-ell to book their teats early at Begg’s. Another powerful double-feature Paramount Artcraft programme, has been secured by the Civic management and will be screened to-mor-row night in the Municipal Theatre at i,15. Besides good supporting items, Elsie Ferguson will be seen in the star feature, ‘Tho Avalanche,” and Lila Lee is the star in “Rose o’ the River.” Both pictures are said to bo excellent in every respect. FOPOLAR PICTURE PALACE, “My Lady’s Dress,” the big English won-der-play, is undoubtedly one of the finest productions yet shown on the screen. With beautiful Gladys Cooper in the lead, aided by an exceptional cast, the story "which is intensely interesting,” is told in a forceful and convincing manner. The programme will be screened to-night for the last time. To-morrow night at 7.15 another (njwerful feature programme will be presented, headed by Bessie Barriscale in the "Paralta” special "Within the Cup.” It is a powerful and daring theme of a disillusioned girl who Becks to make her own laws of life and live up to them to find in the end that white one law is made for women, men have their own. No. 10 of the “Railroad Raiders,” the latest "Topical,” and a beautiful scenic are included on the programme.

GRAND THEATRE. “GINGER MICK.” The advent of another E. J. Carroll attraction is a welcome moving picture event. The many picture followers throughout the Dominion who have rejoiced in the quaint humour, the genial humanity, and the touching pathos of "The Sentimental Bloke,” will hail with pleasure the news that Mr Raymond Longford has completed S six-reel successor to it entitled "Ginger Mick,” in which he mure than justifies the universal acclamation that hailed the peerless production of "The Sentimental Bloke.” In "Ginger Mick” we have "The, Bloke,” "Doreen," and their kiddie (now six years old i "Ginger Mick,” his sweetheart Rose, •ml his “cobber in khaki” Keith, together with a host of other characters. "Ginger Mick” starts (in more senses than one) where "The Sentimental Bloke” finished, on the farm. Then the "Bloke” comes to Sydney to see his cobber "Ginger Mick.” The 1 alter’s life in the slums, his enlistment in the A.E.F., his parting with his sweetteart, the “joilo” at the wharf, his subsequent deeds of daring at Gallipoli, his characteristic death with a “fag” in his mouth, the breaking the news to Rose, and the “Bloke’s” poetical philosophy are all vividly •ml graphically described in this fine film which will he shown for the last time tonight at the Grand Theatre., commencing at S o’clock, under the exclusive direction of Mr E. J. Carroll. Special music accompanies the picture. The box plan for toaight is at The Bristol. ALBION THEATRE. LAST NIGHT OF "ETERNAL LOVE.” Another large and highly delighted aucli•nce was. present at the second screening of the French romance entitled “Eternal Love” at the Albion Theatre last evening. The play is certainly something out of the Ordinary, and novel in its treatment of the dramatic theme. The "Man of Might” still continues to furnish thrills in no uncertain manner, and was heartily applauded. Comedies, topicals, etc., complete a pleasing entertainment. On Wednesday a Pathe feature is the "plece-de-resistance.” Pathe’s name is a household one the world over, and patrons may look forward to something leaily good. The attraction is entitled "Brass Buttons,” and the star is Mr William Russel.
