GLOBE THEATRE

! The new bill of fare at the Globe Thealrf Is well up to the satisfactory standard maintained by this house. The big picture on.the list is a romantic, drama called "The. Girl and the Explorer," which, for most'? • people; who' like 'restraint', ana'naturainess' ' in drama, will have an especial charm. The story that is told by the film Is Interesting enqegh to chain the attention of the most carnal .visitor to the. theatre, while the manner, in which it Is'pfodrieed '. is highly . satisfactory. The programme Includes some exceedingly interesting" war pictures"" ftlUt will n<rdonht-provepile o"f the biggest attmaetlons.v The humorous portion of the hill- Is. particularly., strong, and includes . absurdly funny pictures called ."The'Courtshlp. of Cooks," and "Wheh'We Were-in" -.Our..

" An. unusually; good- programme was Introduced at the Princess Theatre 'this morning, when the second bi-weekly change .was , made. The: bill 1s headed by i weird production called "In -the. Power., of.: a Hypnotist," which tells a story that is quite as fascinating as the name would suggest. AP though this picture- will claim a large share of popular favour, there can-be no doubt that honours will go to "Mabel's, Predicament," In which "both tbdse : fnrautabfe>run: makers,-' Mabel -NorinanShand Charles-Chap-lin, appear. C'hapliu is now the accepted fdnhy-inan as- far as local -picture-goers are concerned, and his name alone is usually quite sufficient to assure the popularity of a picture.. In: "Mabel's:Predlcament".-lie Is absurd and Irresponsible,- and his spontaneous humour Is just as Irresistibly, laughable as-ever: There lsa'strong dramatic picture called' "The Family' Record" on the •-. bill, which also includes the latest " Warwick Chronicle." with .Its budget of war: news, and several funny pictures.. ■-" 7v*7 y : -.
