DE LUXE THEATRE.

"Charley's Aunt" is showing finally this evening at the De Luxelheatre. The name part is taken by Syd. Chaplin, a brother of the famous Charlie, but whose humour is of an entirely different character. Supports include comedy, scenic, and the usual Topical Gazette. Mr. L. D.. Austin's largo orchestra plays incidental music selected from favourite light operas.

"QUO VADIS?"

Many would-be patrons have had a long-standing grievance against movie managers for their failure to cater for those who have reached the point of satiety as far as their capacity to appreciate any of the numerous variations of the eternal theme is concerned. The movie world seemed to have been peopled with matrimonial misfits, vamps, men in horn-rimmed spectacles, scheming white-haired ladies and testy gentlemen. But it is not so in the new gigantic lilm production, "Quo Vudia?" which will have its initial screening at the De Luxe to-morrow night. A\ brilliant prologue will be presented, depicting the revels of the notorious Emperor Nero's court, and in which several well-known local artists, including Mr. Lionel Inch, Norman Aitken, and Sydney Tingey, will appear. The story of the classic is world famed, and helped to win for its author the coveted Nobel prize in 1906. The scenes are set in the splendour and glory of Ancient Rome, when Nero was at the height of his power. The love story concerns a beautiful Christian slave girl, Lygia, who captures' the heart of a pagan. Emil Jannings eclipses all records in his representation of the powerful and awful Nero) while Lilian Hall Davis has the role of Lygia, his beautiful and unfortunate hostage. Incidental music is contributed by the Do Luxe Orchestra. Box plans are at The Bristol, Aitken's Book Arcade, or seats may be reserved at the theatre.
