AUSTRALIAN SILVER BAND.

The playing of the Australian Silver Band (undar the baton of Mr Albert H. Baile. late of the Newcastle Steel Works Band's World Tour) has been likened to that of a symphony orchestra, interspersed with selections played upon a grand organ- by a master musician. Such were the opinions of the Auckland~and Wellington Press of the programmes given in these cities. Whether it be a Liszt rhapsody, a Chopin nocturne, a grand selection of Wagnerian melodies, or one of the latest jazz numbers, the fine tone, technique, brilliance of ensemble, and interpretation are qualities that shine forth, and plant themselves indelibly in the minds of those who hear this fine combination of Australian musicians. Arrangements have been made for the Australian Silver Band U> open a season of concerts in King Edward Barracks on Monday, December "Sth. The box piau will be opened at The Bristol on Mon, :

GRAND THEATRE. The new* that a farther screening of "The "Gold Rush,** Chaplin's epic, has been arranged lor the Grand Theatre, will be greeted -with pleasure by the largo number* of picture-lovers who have not been able, so far, to see it. There is no doubt that nothing that the world-famous comedian has yet been eeen in can approach this, bis latest effort, for real fan and sheer cleverness. The supporting picture is the Paramount feature, "Any Woman," featuring Alice Terry, and is directed by Henry Kiof, the man who produced "The White Sister." Miss" Terry plays the part of Ellen Linden, who seeks work in the brokerage office of Phillips and Band, who have been attracted by her beauty. Both are married, but Rand, having a real regard for the girl, resents the attentions of Phillips, his partner. Rand, to get her sway from his partner, offers her a few weeks' work at his seaside home, and Phillips, misinterpreting the move as one of revenge, brings Mrs Band to the house, and he and his wife are guests. Tom Galloway, a young manufacturer of a new drink, has asked financial assistance of both Phillips and Band, in the hope that he will soon be in a position to keep Ellen. He is refused help, and is further discouraged when he learns that Rand's wife has started divorce proceedings, naming Kllen as co-re-spondent. But Rand succeeds in persuading his wife that the episode is without meaning on either part, and ss a bond of good faith promises to help Galloway. Ellen finds happiness with Tom. The New Grand Orchestra, under the supervision of Mr Howard Moody, is fast becoming very popular with the picture patrons, and this week's entr'acte, "After the Storm," receives a well-deserved encore. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. TWO GLORIOUS FEATURES. "PINE CLOTHES," STARRING LEWIS STONE AND ALMA RUBENS. "ANYTHING ONCE," STARRING TULLY MARSHALL AND GLADYS WALTON. - Two outstanding attractions are listed for presentation at Everybody's Theatre, commencing at the matinee on Monday. "Pine Clothes," First National's latest production, tells an intricate and intriguing story, surrounded by an atmosphere of bustling London. Fine clothes mean luxury,, happiness, worry, beauty, heartbreak, frivolity, sorrow—all or any of those things. Women crave fine clothes. They influonce even the strongest-minded, People who wear them are given a certain poise that only the confidence of being well dressed could give them. People are subconsciously well pleased when they talk with someone finely garbed. It might be said that "clothes make the world go round." It is the demand by women for pretty clothes that drives men to earn enough ni'oney to please their ladies. It is the craving for pretty clothes that makes girls stray from the protection of their own hearthstones. If you desire something different in the way of screen entertainment you cannot afford to miss "Fine Clothes." The plot has been treated in an entirely original manner, and the strong cast is headed by Lewis Stone, Alma Rubens, and Raymond Griffiths. The second feature on the programme is an_ exceedingly clever and exciting romance, entitled "Anything Once," starring Tully Marshall, Gladys Walton, and Harold Austin. "Anything Once" is in every sense a surprise packet, and, as the title infers, the characters are of the "dreadnaught" type, and get into endless trouble and confusion through their penchant for "trying anything once." A delightful musical programme will be given by Everybody's Select Orchestra, under the conductorship of Mr W. J. Bellingham, F.S.M. Among the items are the following:—Overture, "Bulow March"/ (von Blon); opera selections, "Proserpine'' (Saint-Saens), "Rigoletto" (Verdi); suites, "Three Songs" (Brahms), Andante" (Brahms); entr'acte, "Show Me the Way to Go Home" (Kin?); .fox-trots, "Hello, Tucky" (Meyer), "The Sun Shines Brighter" (Kern). . As usual, reserved seats may be obtained either at The Bristol or by telephoning 4925.
