DE LUXE THEATRE.

"That Eoyle Girl," screening each evening this week at the De Luxe Theatre, tells o£ ■ the life of an ultra-modern set in an American city. There is excitement, all of which ends all right for the two loading characters, but quite otherwise for some of' the others. Carol Dempster as Daisy Royle and W. C. Field as Bert Ketlar give a fine rendering of their parts, and the settings generally are all that could be desired, while the supporting cast has been well chosen. Prior to the screening of the star feature, Miss Phyllis Bates and partner give an exhibition waltz, followed by a demonstration of the French tango. The only other picture on _ the programme* is a- gazette, which contains many subjects of topical interest. The orchestra, mder the leadership of Mr. L. D. Austin, plays Eric Coates's "The Rose of Samarkand" as an overture, and incidental to "That Royle Girl" excerpts from many of the most popular comic operas. "THE MIDSHIPMAN." Commencing on Friday, at 8 o'clock, with a matinee on Saturday at,2.30, the long-awaited picture, "The Midshipman," will be screened. Full of thrills and action, with comedy galore, "The Midshipman" is a delightful and entertaining film. Ramon Novarro plays the leading role and has a supporting cast of favourites, including. Wesley Barry, of frecklefaced fame, Margaret Seddon, and Crawford Kent. The story was written, especially for the screen by Carey Wilson. The story centres round a young man, the son of a lieut.-commander, who lost his life in the war, who follows in his father's footsteps professionally. The beauty of the story is that it is dependent chiefly upon its fine and" truthful detail. Thus from the very first shots showing Noyarro entering the historic Gate No. 3 of the Academy, to the last, wherein Harriet Hammond pins on his epaulets, one is thrilled right through the picture, which shows a midshipman's fight for love, honour, and happiness. A big supporting programme has been arranged, including music specially arranged by Mr. L. D. Austin. The box plans are at The Bristol, Aitken's Book Arcade, or ring the theatre.
