"False Faces" should make a point of also seeing "The Lone Wolfs Daughter," the sequel to both the former, l/uiisc Glaum as the lone wolf's daughter Sonia does the finest work of her career in this, where she is pitted against-a world-notorious criminal. "THE BROKEN MELODY" TO-MOKKOW.

The Jure of two women called to him ceaselessly- and lie answered the woman whose love meant shame. Her power and wealth gave him the realisation of his ambitions, but at a cost. And when the day of reckoning came, and lie hliirku] tiie price, then he had tii face tlic reality of life and love, and pick up the melody that had been broken. This was the experience of Stewart Grant in [he magnificent masterpiece, "The Broken Melody," the first Nelzniek release in New Zealand, with the popular star Eugene O'Brien in the lead. Tiie bill includes comedy, gazette, and. "The Great Gamble" No. 5, "The Draught of Death." The matinee tomorrow commences at 2 p.m. "FIVE BIRDS IN A CAGE."

The band of lamateurs who arc producing "Five Birds in a Cage," next Wednesday and Thursday at the Workers' Social Hall are not'deterred by the diilieulty of representing on the stage a lift in a London tube railway, and one thai rocks and jerks as it is hoisted up when the current fails, to the (error of the Duchess of Wiltshire (Mrs. C. H. Weston), who is at the rise of the curtain in total darkness with four strangers—oi* rather three, as one, Lord North (Mr. Andrew Smith) a young man about town, is known to her". Indeed, he is a most unsuccessful wooer of hers—in the lift. The only unperturbed person is the liftman 'O'raee 'Krbert Evans (Mr. Klheriiigton), who is bored by the whole proceedings. The other two caged birds, the pretty Nelly, a "lnidineUc" from a fashionable dressmaking establishment (Miss Bedford), and Bert Wilson (Mr B. Uariman) erstwhile bricklayer, now foreman manager, in the twenty minutes of their enforced imprisonment in the lift arranged to go to Kew Gardens on Nelly's next halfday oil'. If our New Plymouth young men need it, they can learn a lesson from this play in the gentle art of making acquaintance with a pretty gurl. The difficulty will be to find a dark lift in New Plymouth. Box plan opens at Hoffman's on Mondav.
