DE LUXE THEATRE.
"Tess o£ the D'Urbcrvilles," with Blanche Sweet in the title role, will be finally screened this evening at the Do Luxe Theatre. Adapted to screen needs, and provided with a happy ending, the shadow play differs considerably from the literary masterpiece. The story is filmed amidst the beautiful scenery of Dorset. A mother-in-law comedy, and Pathe News, are included in the programme. The Orchestra De Luxe, under Mr. L. D. Austin, provides au excellent variety of music, and as entr'acte "Canzonetta" (L'Ambrosio). "WILD HORSE MESA." "Wild Horse Mesa," adapted from Zane Grey's famous novel, a tale of the Jand where horses and people know no master, will form the principal attraction in the change of programme to-morrow. The fact that Zane Grey, who claims "Wild Horse Mesa" to be his greatest literary effort, is now swordfishing in New Zealand adds interest to what is considered to be a wonderful production. There is a gigantic cast of favourites, including Jack Holt, Billie Dove, Noah Beery, and Douglas Fairbanks, jun. In the same programme No. 3 Stereoscopiks, another series of those strange and wonderful pictures, will also be screened. Although the two previous series of Stereoscopiks kept large audiences roaring with laughter, No. 3 series are said to be even funnier and to add to the amusement members of the audience will be given glasses with which to view the Stereoscopiks. The conductor of the De Luxe Orchestra, Mr. L. D. Austin, has arranged a special musical score.' The box plans are now open at The Bristol and Aitken's Book Arcade, or seats may be reserved by ringing the theatre.
