LIBERTY THEATRE.

"Love, Live, and Laugh," at the Liberty Theatre this week, is a remarkably wollblended mixture of humour and pathoa, and provides entertainment of the highest quality. Hailed as the equal of Al. Joigon, lieorga Jessel gives a wonderful rendering of a part that is full of the most intense human drums. At the head of a brilliant cast, he quite dominates the film by his outstanding histrionic ability, an ability that is enhanced by an excellent singing voice; The film is redolent of the delightful atmosphere of Bunny, happy Italy, and the no less happy "new Italy" formed by emigrants from the _ southern land in New York. The diuloguo, too, Is outstanding for the manner in which it reproduces the characteristic naivete of the volatile Italian temperament. The sets are unstinted, and the scenes, ranging from the Italian quarter of New fork to the Austro-Italian front in the Great War, form powerful contrasts. Supports include a topical. Pox News of the World, including scenes of the first official visit of the King and Queen of Italy to the Pope in the newly-established Vatican City, and the death dive of an aeronaut in his attempt to glide over the Golden Gate An Australasian News presents among other things, scenes of a recent Maori pageant on the Wanganul River, while somo musical novelties are presented In "Dark town Follies," a singing, dancing, and dialogue I picture much in the style of the "Two Black Crows."
