MUNICIPAL THEATRE.

"THE WOMAN DISPUTED." The superb acting of Norma Talmadge is the principal feature of "The Woman Disputed," which is showing at the Municipal Theatre for the last time this afternoon and evening. She enters the scene as Mary Ann Wagner, a girl of the streets, and is shown in an early part of the film hiding a compatriot of the underworld from the vigilance of the police. A shooting affray in her apartment —where she narrowly escapes being arrested for murder —is the instrument of introduction into her life of Paul and Nifca, the two army officers who, together with Mary, create a triangular drama that demands the highest standard of acting. The whole of the story is excellently port>-3yed, whHe appropriate music is so* well synchronised with the film that the atmosphere becomes charged with emotion. The playing of the De Luxe Orchestra has attracted such attention at the Municipal Theatre during the present season that Mr Gladstone Hill has been requested to have the fantasia "Lucia di Lammermoor" broadcast. Arrangements have been made with the Broadcasting Company, and that item wlil be sent "on the air" at 5.30 to-night.
