On Thursday an exceptionally fine war programme is to be screened at the King’s Theatre. Among the pictures is one of an actual fight taken with a telephoto-lens from an aero- , plane. This particular programme is under very distinguished patronage as the following letter will show: “I (have to thank you for your very kindly thought in asking me to view your motion picture, entitled ‘Will hey Never Come.” I think the exhibition of the picture ought to impress ppon those whose duty it is to enlist at this time, the necessity of complying wivh line demands of such duty, and I have no doubt the lesson whijh is to be learned from your picture will help in this respect. Please note tr.at unmarried men are specially desired as

recruits. (Sgd.) J. ALLEN, Minister mf Defence.”

The rest of the pictures on the programme will refer to the present war, including the first authentic fighting picture we have had, “Brilliant French Victory in the Vosges Mountains,” “The Samoa Relief Force and Belgian Fund Procession,” “Our Cavalry in France,” “Canadians Rally Round the Flag,” “Nieuport under Fire.” Remember for three, nights only, a whole war programme with one exception,as the programme will finish with a good Keystone.

There is a very fine programme at this theatre, the star being a “Question cf Courage,” showing the mother trying to prevent her son from going to the war, supported by other good pictures, including a Keystone with Fatty and Mabel and the Law.

Everything was sold except one article and the prices realised wore very satisfactory. Many things were hard to sell, as they were handed back time after time to be sold again, the most notable being the little black lamb which realised £lB 10/. It mas finally bought by Mr, Duncan. The prize for the small raffle was won by Ticket No. 17 (Mr. E. N. Bentley) and can be obtained at Mr. Fraser’s shop. All tlio.se who still have books of art union tickets are requested to return them at once to enable the Committee to draw the raffles.
