The management, however, is not staking the deputation of the current programme on merely one star film, and to this end Saturday saw the first of another excellent kinematograph production in the shape of Lady Godiva." The romantic stofcv woven round the touching incident in the hfe of the noble lady in question is well-known. In order to secure a remiswon of the taxes on her people from her lord, the baron of the town of Coventry, she rode naked thlrough the town, enshrouded 'only by her beautiful tresses, it is this legend which gave rise to the famous story of 'Teeping Tom." The current series of films also includes two screamingly funny subjects—"Five Bold Bad Men" and a "First Aid Flirtation" —and an attractive westelrn drama "The Cowboy's Bride." The programme will be repeated to-night.
