OUR ALLIES' THEATRE, PORT CHALMERS.

A var.ied> programme of sustained in- I terest will be screened at this theatre during the week. Tha star numbers are: For Monday and Wednesday, ' Whose Life' ; Tuesday, ' Life's Whirlpool'; Friday, the Triangle drama ' The Social Secretary,' also the Keystone comedy ' She Loved a Sailor.' On Saturday the attractive week's programme -nail be capped by the delightful cowboy drama ' Sunlight's Last Raid.' Mr G. T. Brady, the popular writer, is responsible for this alluring story, which is of the western type, but is crowded with now ideas. The mountain scones are staggering in their realism, and ii> is <ii£S.cult tK> understand, how stacis. a collection: of xeokJess and skilful horsemen •wore gathered. The first incident is the hold-up of a train; by and by a check shirt causes a deal of misunderstanding ; smaohui? the bandit's head with a rock to safe h.er lover's life is the pass a society girl comes to—and the captivated spectator breathlessly realises that, after all, there may have been something in the old song about "Twenty men on a dead man's chest." Every programme of the week's series of pictures has very good supporting numbers.

" Father, what is the difference between a lunch and luncheon?" "About seven-and-aix, my boy!"
