We would remind picture clients, that the star picture to be shown tonight is a special star feature. It

is a production that has been shown to packed houses, and had a remarkable run in (New Zealand, showing for 30 nights in Wellington. It is by the London Film Cc. entitled “The Middleman,” the film is 5000 feet in length, and presents that popular actor, Albert Chevalier, and that, splendid actress “Jane Gail”. “The Middleman” tells a thrilling and dramatic story of an inventor who gave up his invention for the sake of his fellow workers, but who was robbed cf fame, wealth and family pride by the machinations of an exploiter of labour. His daughter’s good name was dragged in the mire, but her father invented another commodity which placed the exploiter and the middleman where they originally sprang from. Woven into the drama is the sweetest love stcry ever told.

The screening will commence at about 5.45. For cast of characters see dodgers. Postive y for three

'nights only,

The Minister of Defence and Customs and several Federal Members attended a private view of “A Hero of the Dardanelles” at the Britannia Theatre, Melbourne.
