It is the °d tale of the taming of ihe shrew. The honours oi the /ir.u round are with Peter. The ■ cene-s are filled with piquant humour. .j~ en "tncia tries to escape, get 9 wet nroufrh and catihes pneumonia. She i 3 cured £ut has brought mailers even.

But it urns out t-o be only a nightmaro caused liroug.i a tight, handkerchief round his neck. Altogether, it, is an excellent picture admirably conceived and well executed. let-eis, -with the reputation of "Tho Tornado and "IJnfflcfi," behind him, gives a nno charactorisaton of a man who would dale anything to win the ]cvo of a girl. Tall, 'roaa, dark-haired and fiharp-c-yed, with a, curious twisted smile, ho creates a good impression. Patsy Kuth Miller is deligiulm al. through, tier long oval face and largo e*es are more suited to a Madonna, than to a *lire\v, all, l the transfiguration of her face noni repose to animation is remarkable. Ifr,-./ 10 '* a difficult part with great success. Ihe Tomboy," starring Dorothy Devore and Herbert liawlinson, is a rare picture lull of go cd fun. The tomboy is a gir! who it; full of wild animal spirits, who leads tho bovs iu their ventures and scrapes, who is considered beyond reform and in tho end becomes a, -woman through her love for- a man; story concerns rum-running in the- United States and adventure and mvfctery _ run _ through all the picture. The plot is well developed and oomcs to a dramatic and wholly unex-pectod climax. I he programmes includes a Century comedy and an International Xcws film. The "Symphony Orchestra," conducted by Mr Alfred J. Bunz, gives a fine musical programme, including the following items: Overture, "Poet and Peasant" by Suppe, opening with a sc-mbre tono, tho 'collo solo being well played with a bright sparklo by iluto and clarinet, the allegretto boing I'laj'cft with a. swaying met ion and the climax comes wit It great -c'clat; the "Largo" (Dvorak) from the "Xew "World Symphony," opening with great- breadth of tono and being played with fino dignity, tho flowing motion keeping tho impression of sea" "Melusine." (Mendelssohn)," tho undulating movement cf the overture synchronising villi the. movement of waves; "Avo Maria" (Mascheroni), a, sweet number; "A Southern Kose," a beautiful new fox trot; "Dour a -De-ur'' (Wa-ldteafel); "Lords and Ladies" (G. P. _ Vincent), _ a delightful minuet by tho quintette, which received a delicate rendering; ontr'acte, "Savoy American Medley," arranged by Somers and played in honour of tho Fleet.
