Episode-four of."The Negleetedl fihowa.. ' """,' THE EMHBE. Miss.Emmy "Wehlen, the Metro-star, has made such a host of friends during 'her screen career that, it will toe-a pleasure- to the multitude who know that she is appearing in this city again. And her current appearance* is- at the Empire Theatre, where she- is playing the leading part in the Metro headliner "TheOutsider," which is- rather an- interesting tale of a. girl who looks for excitement, and finds it Emmy Wehlen. Jbss- the role of Sally Manvers, who becomes soweary of the dreary monotony of Efe as a saleswoman that she-determines to emulate the adventuress of which she has read, and to make her living im society by her wits, as so many people have done before her. Her success is beyond her . most extravagant dreams.: Discovering some society people stealing their own jewels in order to collect the burglary insurance, she "has them inher power," and proceeds to make use of the knowledge. Then she herself is accused of stealing the jewels. Three- men fall in love with her. Two of them are scoundrels. The third is the "right man," though he has some difficulty in persuading Sally of this fact. The play is in six parts, and is supported by good secondary studies and tuneful music. Excellent examples of night motion picture photography are shown in "The Outsider."

Included in these scenes which were photographed at night are a handsome residence under illumination and the exciting experiences of Sally (Emmy Wehlen) on tenement roofs in a heavy thunderstorm, with 'flashes of lightning playing around her. For the residence scenes Kliegel, spot, goose-neck and duplex lights, as well as innumerable 1000-watt bulbs were transported to Glen Cove, L. I. Scores of goose-neck and duplex lights were used for the tenement roof scenes. The blaze, of these lights was augmented by baby spot lights. All the lights were installed by Metro's electrical force from the New York studio.

THE REMARKABLE "GOLDWYN" (PICTURES. COMING TO NEW" PLYMOUTH.. It was during the latter part of last year that the greatest sensation ever recorded in the fast moving motion pictures occurred in America, coincident with the release of the first "Goldwyn" feature picture. For nearly two years this remarkable film producing corporation had ; been extensively advertising their entry into motion pictures.. Lavish sums of money were expended in advertising and organising, and yet month succeeded month without the release of any picture or any decrease in the fortunes fading away in publicity. Money, however, was no object with the directors of "Goldwyn" pictures. Ex-1 hibitors and public alike had received a I systematic educating to the fact that "Goldwyn" were to be a distinct advance on anything previously attempted in motion pictures. Then came the announcement of the first trade screening and it is no exaggeration to say that a wave of enthusiasm swept from end to end of America when exhibitors released that the impossible had been accomplished, and-that "Goldwyn'' pictures were an even greater advance toward perfection i*hart' even the. producers, through their publicity department had so thoroughly and persistently proclaimed. "Goldwyn" pictures have now become, the great attraction in' Australia is bowing the knee to their ex-, cellonce and from end end of the Dominion, picture goers and exhibitors are comparing notes over -the wonder of these productions. The first of these remarkable picture successes to reach NeW Plymouth, is "Polly of the Circus," which will show at Everybody's next Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at a matinee on Wednesday afternoon. The prices of admission will be, D.C Is 6d and stalls Is (pluk tax), and there will be a few front seats at sixpence. The box! plan opens at Collier's on Saturday and patrons desirous of reserving seats, can do so without extra charge.
