"THE MAN WITHOUT A SOUL. A UNIQUE LONDON FILM. The London Film Company has long held a reputation for the very highest motion-picture productions, and never has this company excelled in dramatic portrayal as in their latest production "The Man without a Soul," a seven reel drama screened to a splendid attendance at the Empire last night. The story is weird and wonderful, yet withal one "of the most powerful dramatic senv sations yet seen per medium of the motion picture. Edna Flugrath and handsome Milton Rosmer are the leads and ably sustain their previous high reputation. "The Man Without a Soul" will be screened again to-night with the Gaumont Graphic and a humorous comedy—"The New Porter." TO-MORROW. THE BIG LOCAL FILM. Commencing at the matinee to-mor-row tthe bi? local film will be screened for the first time. This picture is easily the best film of local subjects that lias yet been placed on the market, and will prove a wonderfully good advertising medium for New Plymouth and surroundings. The scenes include views of the Pierrots at work in Devon street last Saturday, the beautiful Mokau river, cinematographed from the ferry right' up to the mine, displaying the most magnificent river scenery anywhere in New Zealand. Mt Egraont is shown under several feet of snow, with the partv climbing through some heavy drifts on tthe tracks, snowballing, and a dozen other scenes of beautiful snow effects. The film also shows a number of New Plymouth views, including the tennis courts, a parade of local territorials, and a number of beautiful seascapes taken along the sea front and at the breakwater.
