Sliers have built' up their bu- u^ rti low, the two firms of film, suppu--in New. Zealand, have formed themhave cornered certain makes of; films itand against t"hem, the little peopl would soon have been wiped out 01 the" business, and the trust would fcave. reigned supreme. .' ' ■ V M Writer of this iiote is a ■■*&'&s**," end did not intend to let the Trust octopus wrap its slimy tentacle" Wound the whole of the moving pic tures of this country without a battle, ' -T,P. according made arrangement to have two programmes of film pe week landed in New Zealand direc. Una now »™ ««» •**. j —-- —, . and have made a point of gettin new makers, and these ever varying so that our public is not sickened .V death by seeing the same old face «nd the same old actors as is the cas When showing a few makers' good only,. all the time. The people wit whom we are dealing are not onl, fighting the Combine here, but the are fighting it in Australia also, an they are fighting for a free and ope market for btoh suppliers and show

Our new suppliers have given us much more advantageous terms and reviewing the present quiet state of, things in ccrajunction with our nevy terms we have decided) to try the efperi'ment of reducing our charges to M FOB ADULTS and CHILDREN 3eL As there will be only the-one tharge for everybody this DEMOCRATIC proposition should appeal our DEMOCRATIC friends. ' • This new departure in prices means that we do not ask you to patronise Ou'r show to put dividends" in a few shareholders pockets BUT WE MAKE EVERYBODY A SHAREHOLDER and everyone will now be getting a dividend each time what was formerly a shilling ticket is soldi for 6d. SUPPORT YOUR FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' HALL. T.P. have made the FORESTERS' HALL a paying proposition for the FRATERNITY for near FOUR YEARS. COMBINES reduce wages. T.P. have always paid the best wages paid in the line and we desire to continue to do so. Our friends will now «ee that as we knew this "Combine" business was "in the air," that, sc far ae bulding. a new picture-house was concerned, grave consideratior had to be given t« the possibility oi the unfair competition of these greedy Trusts. We trink that the time of the Trust in New Zealand is limited These Picture Trusts have broker flown elsewhere, and if New Zealanc erg are true to themselves and theii DEMOCRATIC Weak. Trusts of al kinds in New Zealand will soon b< a.thing of the past. The film Trus is supplying US but they are con centrating their attention here h get T.P. down and out. We believe our frientia will rally roijnd the T.P flag and so enable us te keep tin . Combine at bay in tlfls country h the interests of all the small show taen. Our DEMOCRATIC DEPARTUR] of running at the uniform prices 0 Adults 6d and children 3d moan that we will have to ha-ve the loyr sxipport of all those opposed to Trtis operations. As our friends know we have neve Been niggardly in the matter of e> pense in order that we might g< hold of the best films the world pre duced' for pur patrons and we rP] upop our good se>rvJc*>s to the pnbli in the past for a continuance of the loyal support in our fight again* monopoly.—Your faithfully THOMPSON PAYNE, CO.
