DE LUXE THEATRE.

Although there is ah excellent picture programme screening on the new bill at the De Luxe Theatre, the Wurlitzer organ continues, to hold its place in the appreciation of the large audiences which have so far heard it. Played by a master on this class of instrument, even the most hackneyed of music sounds entirely different, _ allowing the audience to realise something of the majesty of organ musiccombined with orchestral effects, all of which is played on the same instrument by Mr. Emanuel Aarons. Among the new selections were "In a Monastery Garden, which is well known to those interested in orchestral music, and "When You and I Were Seventeen," somewhat hghter in texture, but none the less delightful. Although Mr. Aarons held the audience entranced with his manipulation of the organ, his conducting of the large De Luxe Orchestra was equally appreciated, loud applause greeting the playing of ihe Anvil Chorus," from "11 Trovatore," which was delightfully rendered ihe chief picture on the programme features Bebe Daniels in "The Campus l'lirt, a comedy tale of college life. It is a really sparkling story, certainly without any depth of plot, but as a la'ughterraiser one of the best in which this star has acted. The entire action takes place m and around a popular college, and thcstar has the assistance of Charles Paddock, one of the most famous of American athletes, and of a clever comedian .in El lirendel. So popular has the playing of the Wurlitzer organ proved, together with excellent picture programmes, that daily matinees are being held at 2.30 p.m., and are receiving excellent. patronage. lljis programme will be screened again tins evening and during the comin" week both afternoon and evening
