AMUSEMENTS.

THE. KINGS.

“THE HAYSEEDS MJCLBOURNE CUP” AND “THE LAW OF COMPENSATION. ' '

__ A huge double bill. will_ grace the King ’s screen 'to_-night, when “The Law of Compensatiofi?’ Nornnu Talmadge’s wonderful success, and “The Hayseeds Melbourne Cup” will -be shown. “The Hayseeds Melbourne Cup” is by far the best of the Hayseed series and has created. record business in all the big centres. Its. _poplflal'ity lies not only in an excellent. mix'ture of comedy and drama, but the witty dialogue titles, extracts: from "Steel R-ud6.’s book. “The Law of Compensation” is agsix-r_eel £ea.tm'e« rich in that dramatic element that has placed beautiful Norma. Talmadge high above the level of most picture stars. The theme deals with the monotonyxgf a girl’s- life and how a young wife was tempted to forget her marriage vows. The whole programme‘ is one of the strongest yet. presented at the"'K.ing’s. ,'

OUR PICTUR.'E.S—TOWN HAIL. Patrons at the Town Hall Pictures" on Saturday night were delighted at. the success of the new and powerful heaters that have just been installed which render the building a warmth that cannot be excelled even by the family fireplace these nights. An entirely new programme will be shown to-morvow night only, starring the fascinating Viola Dana in :1 new Metro play entitled “The Microbe.” 3; cralning and whimsical drama"ivit.h the darling of the screen in a. role of I'emal'kable variations.

THE LYRIC QUARTETTE. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, in conjunction with the pictures, the famous Lyric Quartetfe and Concert Company will appear at the Town Hall in :1 veritable feast of mirth and melody. Enormous success has followed this clever -and talented company throughout New. Zealand and their concerted numbers are gems of barmony, blend and balance, and their interpretation whether in quaint flit-_ ties orballads, is never at fault. Wharever they have sung, they have evok-. ed -a furore of applause, and having an extensive repertoire to ehoosebfrom, ‘f-hey .arc never at. a loss to respond.
