DE LUXE THEATRE.

Stories of crooks and their ways aro told b an Interesting manner in "Too Many Crooks,", screened for the first time last evenlog at the De Luxe Theatre. There Is adventure from start to finish. A young author, who thinks she Is a genius as a playwright! Is looking for "local colour" in a dramatic production she Is writing, but she has very Uttiß knowledge of crooks and their ways, so determines to get Into touch with certain mem-bers-of the underworld, which she does with somewhat disastrous results to herself. The police get the Idea that "birds of a feather flock together," and the writer is rounded up with a gang, but all ends satisfactorily with wedding bells. The leading roles are taken by Mildred Davis and Lloyd Hughes, while the settings are particularly good. Supporting the chief picture is a gazette which all hockey players should make a point of seeing, as It gives Incidents during the match between the New Zealand team and the New South Wales eleven which took place a week or two back. The programme also Includes an educational Him, "Around About Townsvllle," and a com«dj, "Wedding Daze," both Interesting, while the latter Is distinctly amusing. The music, as usual. Is a special feature of the programme, Mr. Emanuel Aarons again playing on the Wurlltzer organ, his Item being "I've Got the Girl," during which elides are screened explaining the music The Orchestra De Luxe played the well-known "Sousa March," as an overture, and for the entr'acte a very clever musical cartoon was played entitled "Uncle loin's Cabin," during which many original Begro melodies aro introduced on the Wurlittor organ.
