A WONDERFUL PICTURE.

The tremendous photo-dramatisation of the Old Testament, titled "Tho Cres,tion," or "After Six Days," ivhidi will , commence its season at the Tivoli Theatre with a matineo exhibition at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon—tho evening performance, with orchestral, vocal, and scenic effects—will begin at 7.30 — took five years to make. Filmed in the Holy Land, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, on the actual spots indicated in the Bible, directed by the Italians (who nuide that mighty forerunner of "big" films, "Quo Vadis?"), acted by distinguished Italian actors and actresses, "After Six Days," which is said to have cost three million dollars,' has been recognised throughout Europe and .America as beinft" "far in advance of most of the supevachievements of the screen to date. An outstanding personality of the cast is Guido Guiducci, the noted Italian tragedian, who presents a striking characterisation as "Moses." Of Signor Guiducci, John Barrymorc, tho famous American actor has 'said:—"Guido Guiducci, the noted Italian actor, who plays the part of Moses, stndied to bo a, priest. Howover, the broader possibilities which the stago and screen offered him to carry his message to all the world led him to become a dramatic actor instead. Ho considers his present part tho greatest of his highly successful career, and all who have seen his characterisation of the great Lawgiver and Prophet are inclined to agree with him." . Tho picture will be shown twice daily throughout the ;week, with orchestral, choral, and scenic affects. The box plans are at The Bristol.
