AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

In "The Good-bye Kiss," which is Theatre this week, there is an abundance of humour and pathos. Mack Sennett can always be relied upoa to produce something out of the ordinary, and in this picture ho presents an excellent comedy romance. In the leading roles are the three new stars: Johnny Burke, Sally Eillers, and Matty Kemp, and each giveß-an excellent characterisation. From 1914 to 1918 there were many goodbye kisses, some of them destined never to be repeated, and ."The Good-bye Kiss" is based on this theme; only there is no tragedy in the picture —just- romance and comedy. There was a great deal 'of humour to bo found in France, provided one searched for it, and the Americans .delight in making their romances of war as pleasant as possible.

The supporting picture is -"The DemiBride," with Norma Shearer and Lew Cody in the leading roles. It is a capital comedy, in which Miss Shearer gives .an excellent characterisation of a girl, Criquette, who has just left a convent, while Cody plays the part of Philippe Levaux, the much-sought after bachelor. It is an exciting picture, and combined with the main attraction, makes an excellent evening's entertainment.
