AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE To-night in the Optr.i House Pollard's will present an all new programme, headed by the Mutual feature /"A Square l)eaj," starring Margar.-t Fisher. As a clever satire on society cults, "A Square Deal," as produced by the Mutual Studios with -Margaret Fisher in the principal role, is a clever and entertaining study. Alice Gilson is the spoilt child of plain practical parents, who, much to their horror joins a faddist cult calling itself the "Individualists," and spells her 'name "Alys." Then two suitors claim her heart—an ind vidua'ist named Le Moyne, and a good healthyminded young sport named Bruce, whom she marries, luckilv. But a condition of the. union is that whoever tires of the marriage first must tell the other, so that each may go his or her own way. Alice then makes- -er new home a meeting place for the cult and the husband, sick of the silly business, tells her he is going to live , with "another." Alice braces up and lets him go, and Le Moyne, the rejected suitor, 'makes advances. The heart call is too strong for Alice, and she is only too glad to foi-give hubby the trick he, played on her to clean out the "isms". On Wednesday evening a big Goldwyn drama "The City of Comrades," a play taken from Basil King's" fame's story of "The Brotherhood of Man, will feature Tom Moore in his first melodrama. The story reaches out and sounds the highest form-of humanity—The Brotherhood of Man. , To-morrow (Tuesday) evening in ) the Miners' Hall, Runangi, Pollard's will present Tom Moore in Basil King's great story of The Brotherhood ■of Man—-" The City of Comrades," ported by the 12th episode of "The Man of Might."
