AMUSEMENTS

POLLARD’S PICTURES. To-night at the Opera House the power and inspiration to laugh and laugh, again will be yours, where Mr. and Mrs. Carter de Haven will appear in their First National photoplay farce “Twin Beds,’’ which is one of the funniest pictures ever filmed. A noteworthy cast ia in support of the de Haven’s, William Desmond, who ia himself one of the stellar system, contributes a very jealous and a very loving Mr. Hawkins, while Helen Raymond, who created the role in the original stage production, gives a perfect comedy portrayal of Signora Monti. “CONFESSION.” “I’d like to see -the law that could open the lips of the priest and make him reveal the secrets of Heaven,” thus Henry Walthall in “Confession ’ the big National Film Corporation picture play which is to be screened at The Miners’ Hall, Runanga on tomorrow (Thursday) evening under the direction of Messrs E. J. and Dan Oarroll. “Confession” is not a ser-

mon—it is a soul stirring picture with

sentiment that rings true. Call it drama if you like, but it will leave an impression on the mind of every man, woman and child who sees it, that time or life’s stormy journey

will not efface, for it hits and hits hard; it sways every human emotion, it thrills by its tremendous action, it throbs with life’s greatest problem, and unfolds a sweet story of love, sacrifice and devotion. Brimming with pathos it. has splashes of humour which help to wipe away the tears of sadness and compassion. The price of admission to any part of the hall is, adults 1/6, plus tax.
