Harvey’s playing of the Christie organ is undoubtedly one of I lie biggest attractions yet staged in a Dunedin picture house, and his programme will be appropriately chosen. An unusual attraction will be the association of Air Haney at the organ, Mit.s Wallace, a talented violinist, and Ali.ss Rita Holmes, a vocalist, in Gounod's ' Ave Alaria.' Although the programme is most ambitious. and will sene to introduce the "talkie-” iu the Empire’s patrons, the prices will be the usual Saturday night charges.
