Ni. an hi everybody ha; n-ii-i . or h°ar,l of her. The Him is 124 C fiet in length. Amongst the othor dramatic I studies is an excellent piece of work entitled "What women suitor," which pottrays the hardships of a man in a high position, one who has embezzled a large sum of money to keep iu society. He is tried and found guilty and sentenced to two years imprisonment. In the meantime his wife, who has a lot to put up with, is turned out of her lodgings; to find the world just as hard and as cold about her as before. Begging is •the only way in which the poor unfortunate can make a living. The husband who has done his time behind the bars goes to look for his wife and kiddies, but to hie amazement finds the old home vacant'. Driven to despair he goes in+.o a mine, where he works with a willing hand to make amends for the past, when, after several months' labor to no effect, he discovers a rich find, which once more puts him on his lege and he becomes one of the richest men of his time. By accident, while out motoring he meets a woman in a faint on the street, whom lie recognises as his longlost wife, and everything ends favor[ahly. Amongst the side-splitters is a very fine film, "Turning over a new leaf." This ie one of the best comics seen for many a day. The whole programme indeed is excellent, and rulrons should give Mr. Hewitt liberal support. The management wish ,to announce that owing to the Horticultural .Society's show, they will not appear on | Wednesday and Thursday, owing to ilie Society having secured the theatre for those nights. They also wish it to hi known that they will appear again nn Friday night, with an entire change of programme. Mr. Hewitt, who is going to a lot of expense to provide a really good, wholesome entertainment, shon'd he greeted with bumper houses. HAYWAKD'S PICTURES. .REOREATIOX GROUNDS.
