TO—NIGrHT. _ Sparkling, woma-nly_. refilled, and greater than all .rlle"se_, difierent, is Alice Joyce, in “That Winchester \Vonlzln.” 'Tllctitlesoun‘ds what it really is-suggestive of romance, intrigue, the usual‘ ilfld uifexpeeted. It is the story of a strong, h'o«noul-able woman, who cleared the clouds ‘from her own name, and .I'l1en" stood ready to sacrifice everything she had so dearly bought to save 21 young -girl from the th‘reatening blight‘ of (lishonour. Alice Jo};/Ce, the c.lzl.=.sie beauty ‘of the screen, is appealingly lovely in this picture, and has the sympathy of her audience throng-llout the whole story.

VVITH SHACKLETON IN‘ ANTARCTICA.

The wonderful Shackleton expedition pietures will be screened by the ‘llnternational Attracti,’olls at the King’s on Thursday. New Zealand will ‘never forget the intrepid band of explorers, who dared the rigors and hardship of the. frozen south in that memorable expedition which Sir Ernest Shackleton commanded and led and which culminated in the disaster in which the sturdy little Endumnce, found her last. r'etreat beneath the frozen sea. The film story by Captain Frank Hurley is unique in the w~orld’s records. It is instructive to :1. wonderful clegrsee, besides being enthral—' ling in its intimacy with the lives and work of the explor‘e’rs. It is -also unique in the history of photography, and contains the most. magnificent scenes of Antarctic. grandeur and animal life—-to say nothing of ‘bringing home in vivid manner the details of the awful hardships that these hardy and gullaiit Britishers ensured. The ‘spirit that sustained the 'party through was British pluck, and no greater tribute to the achievements of these supermen can exist than the lasting, living record that the film provides. Captain Hurlcy’s lecture is given graphically by Mr George Dean, associate lecturer to Sir‘ Ernest Shackleton. A special educ._ation:fl matinee will be: held on Tliursday. . Sehoolmasters should upply for .~'o:lt.iug 'imnledi:ltely. The box plan is now Open at that King’s. ’phem= 268.
