King's Pictures. The star item at tV.e Town Hall tonight is "Iron Justice," a powerful photodrama dealing with the stern inflexibility of Judge Brand and the manner It which iTemlranges his wife and family. Suffice xo say that the part of Mrs Brand, wife of the Judge, is taken by Miss Titteil Biune, who captivated Sydney and Auckland audiences some few years ago. For Saturday evening the management has secured a Metro distinctive, starring Mabel Taliaferro. The story of "Tha Snowbird" Bets forth how Lois Wheeler, whose father—a traction magnate —is financially involved. The girl goes into tbe Par North woods to procure evidence to clsar her father's name from threatened disgrace. How she makes her way into the Lind of Eternal Snows and finds the man she seeks, and all the hundred and one incidents connected therewith, make "The Snowbird" one of the really notable Bcreen offerings of the day. The booking for thß "Broken Coin" will be found on pige one. Grand Picture Benefit. Opera House—Thursday Next. Mr Conchie has kindly offered to donate half the grosß takings to tbe Military Cemetery Fund for the screening of the popular book "David Harum," in which the great American actor, Mr William H. Crane, makes his £jrst Motion Picture appearance in his famous characterization of David Harum. It is doubtful if an American work of drama or fiction has ever achieved such a widespread and instantaneous success as did this book and play. Mr Crane's wonderful portrayal of the genial and quaint old hero of this magterpicce is one of the best examples of character work ever given on tbe stage, bo that the unusual combination of star and play insure a photo-drama of unusual merit.
