EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE GOLDEN SNARE.” A gripping romance of the snow bound Arctic is “The Golden Snare,” starring Lewis Stone, at Everybody’s to-night. This, another James Oliver Cur wood story, is a worthy successor to the. previous triumphs of that author. Lewis Stone is in his favorite role—that of a North-west Mounted policeman. Ruth Renick has the leading feminine lead, and there is a cast of well-known players in support. Sdme of the most thrilling scenes—the Arctic night, a raging blizzard, Bram Johnston driving his pack of wolf-dogs—are seen in this fascinating tale of the great North-west. ‘‘The Golden Snare” is the story of a beautiful golden-haired .princess of the wilderness. It is a Story that will live long in the memory. The final screening is announced for to-night. To-morrow the star feature will be £ ‘A Beggar in Purple,” from Andrew Soutar’s novel.
THE PEOPLE’S. /‘EXTRA! EXTRA!” & “THE RULING PASSION.” A unique double Fox feature programme will be screened at the People’s Theatre to-night: “(Extra! Extra!” a story of a big newspaper office, and “The Ruling Passion,” a drama with an Oriental coloring, featuring Claire Whiting and William E. Shay. “Extra! Extra!” presents the youthful co-stars Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker. The story has its basis in a daily newspaper office, and. the romance concerns a cub reporter and a daughter of the veteran of the staff. It is said to contain a newspaper feat of a most sensational nature. The picture is admirably staged and interest is sustained from start to finish. The prices remain as usual and the supporting films are Topical and Cartoon.
EMPIRE THEATRE, SATURDAY. THE FAMOUS N.Z. DIGGERS.' A review of the second edition of the “Box of Tricks,” its programme and its performers, will in a large measure serve to impress upon us Zhe fact that we are to be favored with a “better than ever” performance from the Famous Diggers, who appear at the Empire Theatre on Saturday and Monday next. The new programme is full of interesting and amusing items Frank Perry ri and Stan Lawson score heavily in a screamingly funny ipusical sketch entitled “Washing the Baby!” Joe Valli, Frank Moran, Tano Fama and Stan Lawson provoke roars of 1 ugh ter in “The Burlesque Fortune-teller.” “The Raw Recruits” is a really comical sketch of the military type. “The Charwoman” is a comedy sketch Frank Perryn puts over in such a manner as to tickle tlie risibilities of the most unsusceptible theatre-goer. “The Magic Hat” is a very quaint item. The Egyptian scene “Backsheesh” is replete with comic burlesque and good songs and serves to introduce the Dance Orientele by Gus Dawson and Stan Lawson. The Italian impressions by Frank Perryn, “The Lighthouse-keeper” by Frank Moran, Fred Webber’s piano sketches, Stan Lawson’s latest songs, the Operatic Opening Chorus and some really splendid song hits make up a programme equal if not superior to the best this company has yet presented. The -box plans open at Collier’s on Thursday morning.
