“Her Surrender” is the title of the

Metfo star feature to be screened at' the Thfpe Stafsf ; ttq-night. AG porfed by several' go'od fihhs, including a side-splitting Keystone comedy, “Her Circus 3 Knight.” The programme 1* for one night bnly_ “INTOLERANCE.’ ’ Since J. C. Williamson Ltd., presented the super-feature picture “Intolerance” to Ngav Zealand audiences, various opinions have been expressed as to its theme but everyone has agreed as to colossal proportions, the grandeur of its scenes and the minuteness to detail which characterise the picture < throughout. Theatregoers here Avill no doubt Avelcomo the opportunity of seeing this picture, for it Avill bo presented here at the Three Stars Pictures on Thursday evening, November Ist, for this one night only. The thirteen reels comprising the dramatic spectacle are made up of four separate stories, laid in different picriods of history, showing that hatred and intolerance through all the ages have battled against love and charity. Each story has its OAvn set characters, and deals with one common theme the intolerance of bigots. Man’s mind searched in all history by Griffith, avlio has built stupendous backgrounds for his parallel stories. Each of these has its bearing on the central theme. That Griffith has made a direct and popular appeal is shown by the fact that Intolerance has made a bigger success than oven “The Birth of a Nation.” The periods of history taken are Babylon, India, Mediaeval, Irance and to-day. Stories are Avovujn of the fall of Babylon by the treachery of the priests of Baal, of the crucifixion by the intolerance of the Pharisees and of the massacre of the Hugenots by unbridled bigotry. A section of the clergy has denounced Intolerance —in most cases Avithout seeing the picture—-but it is patent that Intolerance appeals to, the people by the fact that it has attracted big audiences everywhere. Intolerance is unlike any other picture and it is therefore not surprising to knoAv that special music written for the varying scenes, and this is interpreted by a special selected grand opera orchestra. Popular prices arc to be charg cd while the plan for the season i s open at the Three Stars Picture Theatre. No raadb for book’ mg. The pric T, o
