AMUSEMENTS

MASTERTON PICTURE COMPANY

"DRUMMED OUT," I The large audiences that patronised the Town Hall pictures on Saturday were;' rewarded by witnessing one of tlie best series of pictures ever presented to a Masterton audience. Tho pictures were of a high order, and were headed by the brilliant military drama "Drummed Out." This sensational drama, by the Nordisk Company, details the tragic story of a young lieutenant, wiio is madly in love with the colonel's and who sacrifices his life and honour for the* sake of tho girl he loves. Another pa- | thetic drama, was that entitled "An j, Attic Romance," and shows. • how'; a'••■ humble artist is" led from his sweetheart by 'being enticed by a great singer, who proves false.. TJie, v artist, in despair is about to end his lifo when I his old love returns and he is forgiven. "The Sheriff's Punishment," an Ar.ie- • rican drama of tne very latest type, I was realistic in the extreme, and contained many thrilling scenes of the j wild and lawless life led in the Western States of America. Educational / pictures of much valuo were "Australian .Gazette," "Boar Hunt in Germany," and "Paper Cuttings." ' The comic side was supplied in "Quickly Cured," "Jane's Aeroplane Flight," and "Our Darlings." This excellent programme will lie repeated to-night , and to-morrow night. On Wednesday evening a grand change will be presented, when the latest in cinematography wifr be submitted.

FORESTERS' HALL

The usual packed houses greeted the ' final screenings of the current pro- • grammo at the Foresters' Hall on Sa- j turday. ■ The programme to be pre- < sen ted this evening is an exclusive one containing the first pick of the cinematograph gems of the world. The star attraction is the 3000 feet drama "Sicilian B'ood," a romantic story of olden days, containing plenty of pathos and excitement. How a little Indian girl paid off a debt of gratitude is forcibly told in "Tola's Promise" by the American Biograph Co. Picture patrons will again have the pleasure ~f seeinft the nomdar old favourite Miss Dolly Nicholson in the leading n 'n. "Tie Pc>r Relation," by Lubin, is a modern Cinderella story with a moral that turns the laugh on the too . n . -,,() eo'fish. "For the Cause of the South" is a startling Civil War photo-plnv .bv Edison. "For His Pal's Sake" (Selig) is a. fine western character sketch. This constitutes a very strong dramatic portion. Much amusement may be expected from the comedies. "Outwitting father'" (Kalem), "A Scandal at Polidors " and "Cowboy and Easterner." The latter is an exceptionally clever subject _, and is a real laughing novelty. The "English Derby of 1912" will doubt- ; less appeal to sports, while a wonder- I .fill spectacular display Avill be "New ! York Insurance Company's Buildings | in Flames." There are four nrettv scenics, "Winter in Sweden." "Seville and its Gardens." "Excursion to Desert Isles," and "Picturesque Croata."
