TOWN HALL TO-NIGHT.

You know the sort of story young Ch:u'lie Ray excels 'm—the country boy fypo.who with his very sincerity of nature, wins through all the schemes to keep him down, who bashfully falls in 10ve—and wins her too. Well, in “String Beans,” the Paramount Spec.inl production'sho\ving at the Town. Hall to-night. and to—mol'row at the ordinary prices, the ininli’r:‘:blc Bay has an cxtml. busy time.

Fresh from the glories of :1 record run in~Wellington, Taihape is indeed fortunate in being third in New Zealand to screen “The Miracle Man" tonight. “The Miracle Man" is a rowerful picturisation of George M. Cohen.’s celebrated drama of flesh-

and-blood men and. women, sinning, struggling, loving, rising from the underworld into the light. It ‘drives ahead with action that grips and holds, but it is softened with bu» mour so true that it laughs with an mankind, so deep that it starts the tears. It is a story of lost souls found, but it is not propaganda in any sense of the word, neither has it any creed save‘ that of humanity. IT: is not a religious picture, yet the man or woman who can sit through it unmoved is not to be envied. Its charm is irresistible, its passion is masterful; it instils in the mind a new and deeper sense of kinship with humanity and a deeper understanding of the spiritual forces of existence. The supreme heights’ of the drama are reached as it pourtrays the silent conquering of hardened wills, the physi~ 031 and 'sDiritua.l regeneration of those who had sought to debase and expioit the lofiiest inslncts of humanity. No detail that could add conviction to aWonderful story has been omitted. Special music under Mr J. V. Mating and the first appearance in Taihape Xof Madame Anette Hayward. the gift’ ed contralto will add charm to this i extraordinary feature.

The prices are 3/ and 2/ plus tax (reserves 1/ extra). and the plan is at the Kingls. Patrons are advised to be seated early as no admissions will be allowed Efuring the vocal items.
