DE LUXE THEATRE

The latest addition to the De Luxe Theatre, the Wurlitzer organ, is a wonderful instrument, and its beautiful tone and tho ability of the player, Mr. Emanuel Aarons, has been the subject of much favourable comment To enumerate all the beauties and wonders of this new instrument would be impossible, one must hear it to really realise that here is combined all the music ever thought of,'ancient and modern, and, played by a master hand, it reveals majesty, and beauty previously unknown to Wellington audiences. The programme opens with a pot pourri of grand opera. Changing Ins theme he gives the wellknown "Prisoner's Song." In this-is introduced some very fine chime-effects, while the drums also play a very prominent part, finally the: organist plays a selection from Uilbert and Sullivan's operas, in which one hears many ot the always popular lyrics in a new and delightful manner. Altogether Mr. Aarons is at tho console for; three-quarters of an hour, during which he uses no music but never makes a mistake ml bringing in the right tone .or effect at the right moment. It was a very fine performance. Although the Wurlitzer organ is the chief attraction on the present programme, the pictures submitted offer excellent entertainment. "Poker Faces" is a comedy of marital troubles in which Laura la Plante I is the wife, while the' Gazette and "Please Excuse Me" do not fail to amuse the audience. A matinee is being,given daily, at which the organ will be played.
