THREE STARS THEATRE.
A WONDERFUL FILM. A most extraordinary picture is being screened again to-night at the Three Stars Theatre. It represents the travels of a curio collector who went to Egypt, and while fossicking among eld tombs he came upon the petrified hand of an ancient Egyptian princess. He took the hand when he returned to his home. While at home he has a most realistic dream, all of which is screened, in which the princess materialises and appears; the hands leaves its place of keeping and writes on the wall that misfortune will follow its retainer. One misfortune after another happens the hand being almost ever persent, and it finally grasps him by the throat and chokes him. His son is then troubled but he eventually takes the hand back to the tomb from whence his father dug it
out. and no further disaster occurs. Accompanying the movements of the hanj are many beautiful transformation scenes of a style and character quite out of the common. This film is 3000 feet long and is screened about 9 o’clock.
