"BROKEN BLOSSOMS."
The most' discussed photo-play since the dawn of the .screen is "Broken Blossoms^' in which D.'V-W: 'Griffiths transferred to the screen a story from Thomas Burkes daring book "Liinehouse Nights." The book itself startled the reading world, and the drama is equally compelling. The characters are represented by Lilian Gieh and Richard Barth-clmess and they mark the peak of achievement of. those two great artists. BaTthelmess as the "Yellow Man," a dreaming Oriental mystic, created a furore in London and New York. The ■prologue will bs on'the lines of the New York settings and will be a new thing to audiences in New Zealand. "Way Down East," is claimed to be outrivalled •by this second creation of D. W. Griffith's. Everybody's Theatre will hold the .screening, and the box plan is at the Bristol. :
