AMUSEMENTS.

OUR PICTU'RES——TOW'N HALL.

= Metro’s exquisite star Emmy Weh. len can always be relied upon to give an interesting characterisation and; in “EOOIB and Their Mone_V_._.” to be shown at the Town Hall to-night only she is seen in a clever and delightful comedy of errors that win keep the’ spectators interested and amused from start to finish. A new English. Topical Budget and a Billy VVest: comedy support the big picture. To-morrow-night a new double feature programme will be shown. "Virginia Pearson in “The Liar,” and Peggy Hyland in “Miss Adventure.” ‘l'B.‘.£‘.' KING’S. ' “TODD OF THE TIMES}? “Todd of the Times,” it told in written story with the art which Frank Keenan gives it to the screen,. would be one of the character master» ;pieces of fiction. The continuous hutmour of the day, which is a contin-~ luous unfolding of a series of faithifully drawn small -town characters not icommouplace, however, in their ac-; tions, would sweeten the evening of‘ a most confirmed dyspeptic. The story ‘is a well-knit, high speed narrative of laughs and surprises. Frank Keenan gives a perfect portrait of Theobald Todd, the henpecked -husband, and‘ side-tracked editor, who ceases to become both in a manner that furnishes splendid entertainment. This feature will again be offered to-night. | MAGDA. , I e-Clara Kimball Young’s latest screen play, “Magda,” taken from the famous stage classic of the same name, is: a.. ,triumph of production. No expense {has been spared in its preparation, fand aside from Miss Young’s own 7splendid interpretation of the title role, she is supported by a company of high ability. The drama is familiar'to New Zealand audiences, having been played some years ago by Nance O'Neill When she toured the Dominion with McKee Rankin. Magdais father in the picture is played by Edward Kimball, and strange to say, he is also Clara Kimball'Young’s father, and aside fromphis own paternal knowledge, is an actor or repute and experience.
