AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY'S. Though, she is only three and a half years of age, little Barbara Connolly, who plays the title role in “Little Red Decides," the Triangle film version of the “American Magazine" story, is a conspicuous example of the eternal feminine. The question, “How do I look?" is for ever uppermost in her mind. During the brisk action of “Little Red Decides," this little miss is called upon to fall into a tank of water. Barbara didn’t know she had to do this until she actually was in the water, and the first question she asked of her frightened parent as she ran to her aid was, “Oh, mother! is my make-up ruined?" An abundant collection of freckles, more “crowning glory” than she knows what to do with, adorning a tiny little fat face —that’s Barbara, Connolly’s chief characteristics apparent in "Little Red Decides," which is to be shown at the Town Hall to-night. The supporting pictures include a comedy and a Gazette. THE KINGS. TO-MORROW NIGHT An attraction extraordinary will be shown at the King’s to-morrow night, when Rex. Beach’s masterpiece, “The Auction Block" will be screened. This drama is the latest and undoubtedly the greatest of this popular novelist’s work, and is probably known to the entire Englishspeaking -world. It is a story of the American small towns and American big cities; millionaire steel magnates, discarded wives, good girls and bad girls, spenders and wasters, and the clean, dependable people who are the salvation of x America. The picture is mounted with a splendour and realism which has to be seen to be appreciated, and is the greatest in its particular line that has ever been shown in Taihapc.
