AMUSEMENTS

THE KING’S "THE FLAG LIEUTENANT.” Each successive English film reaches a higher standard than the previous one —the British made motion picture has attained a finish in production and style equal to the best American; and the acting, setting, scenery, atmosphere, ideals and even the men ? and women are bol t from the standpoint of the Empiredwellers. There is a sincerity, a naturalness, a charm that appeals; and in the latest English production “The Flag a Wonderfully high standard of completeness has been reached. It is not an exaggeration to say that no picture of recent date has secured the charm and character of the English atmosphere; that no story simple but extremely effective, has been better told; the characters of the play are every day real men and women; not stage puppets and. except for the scenes in Crete and the encounter with the Arabs where perhaps the technical detail*’ is not perfect; the whole production is equal to, and in very many respects, better than the so-called superfilms of America.

TOWN HALL PICTURES. REALAR-T QUARTETTE. On Saturday night in conjunction with«a monster picture offering “Three Green Eyes”, in which a cast consisting of the following favourites: June Elvidge, Evelyn Greenly, Carlyle Blackwell, Montague Love and Johnny Hines appear. The Eealart Quartette maketheir appearance here. One of the principal charms of the programme submitted by the Eealart Quartette is its varied novelty; seldom so wo have the chance of hear-

ing two harpists on the same programme, in fact the Irish harp played by Signor Cerbasi is an instrument that few in New Zeatsttu !rave heard at all.. Both Signor Cerbasi and Miss Clare Years, who v performs on the Grand Erard Harp are accomplished musicians and brilliant performers. Miss Valerie Scott is already wellknown to New Zealanders, as a solo dancer of rare merit, and has just completed a tour °f India and the Far East, where she won golden opi-, nions from press r*?S public alike. Last but not least is Mr Herbert F. Woofi, a New Zealander whose golden

'•''nor voice has endeared him to all music-lovers in Australia, where enthusiastic receptions were the order of the day. New Zealand will gladly welcome Mr Wooers re-appearance, and endorse the opinion of Melbourne Punch whfc“ff*"Bays: *9t can be truly said that Mr Wood is one of the finest tenors in Australasia and his success is assured. ”
