PRINCE EDWARD
VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES A special picture and all-star vaudeville programme will be offered patrons of the Prince Edward Theatre to-night. The engagement of Auckland’s Veteran’s of Variety should give good entertainment. This act consists of six of New Zealand’s veteran actors, who will be heard in comedy, song and story. A feature of the act is the superb violin and piano playing of Veteran Shaw, S 9 years of age. Frank Willoughby, billed as “An Act of Refinement,” grips his audience from the first curtain. He puts his numbers over in his own droll way and is sure of a good hearing.. The first appearance of the Koval Kara Quartette is also billed. Four dusky gentlemen, four good voices, four steel guitars, describes this act. “The Man with the Iron Door” will be the chief picture on the programme to-night.
Fifteeen thousand extra players and a cast of 45 well-known screen personalities mark “The Trail of *9S” as being the film production using the largest number of people since the beginning of the motion picture industry. The number of players exceeds those used in “Ben Hur” by approximately two thousand.
