LIBERTY THEATRE.

"HUNTING TIGERS IN INDIA." It is a literal statement' of faot to say that "Hunting Tigers in India," whioli will be the main film on the double-feature programme beginning* at the. Liberty tcwi&y, is the finest film of .big game hunting yet shown in the Dominion. Elephants, tigers, rhinos move through the jungle—'their native haunts-—pursued by au army of men mounted on mox© tn&n a hundred elephants. Excitement' reigns as the elephants o'ose in on the tigers, which are shot. even while they spring for the head of their disturbers. Villagers wait yatiently for their share of the spoils, while always overhead, hovering or perched m the trees, vultures cry for the remnants. But this is not all. No incident is allowed to pass without being clearly explained by Commander D. N. Dyott, the famous explorer Nor is the picturo wholly confined to'the-jungle. . , n Life in the cities of India, the. peculiar customs, the torture of religious ritesall come within the view of the lecturer. So clear is the picture, so are the ircidents described, that the audience is •actually on the scene of the kiH or in the midst of India's teeming millions. A series of 1 scenes you will never forget. "Men on-Call." the second feature, deals with the adventures of a railway enginedriver, who is responsible. to a wieok oh the line and turns to the ooastgruard servioe when-almost "down and out.". . Through the picture a convincing idea of the hazards and perils of the coastguard's work is pained. - Edmund Lowe is cast a#' the ejigine-drisrer. ■ 1 The girl in the picture" is Mae Clarke. William Harrigan also has a prominent part. Warren Hymer, in the tola of a philandering guard, lends a certain amount of coxnio relief; Box plans are -.at The. Bristol.
