“IN THE NAME OF THE LAW

A good attendance was registered last evening at the Grand Theatre, when the mighty master picture “In the Name of the Loav” Avas screened for the first time. “In the Name of the Law ’ ’ gives the policeman a square deal. It puts the guardian of our liberty in the right light for the first time in the history of the screen. “In the Name of the Law. ’ a Master Picture, shines like a mighty beacon of truth. Presenting not only a stirring and engrossing story, “In the Name of the

Law’’ slioavs in vivid dramatic sequence the fine home life of the average policeman. It shows also his family. his devoted Avife, his splendid children, their struggles to save for a modest little home. It portrays, too. the hazards, the risks, the great dangers the policeman of to-day confronts in the performance of his daily duties. Larry Semon in “The Goavii” is a sc-reain, easily surpassing in this great mirth producer his previous productions..# The programme Avill be shown for the last time to-night.

THE CHERNIAYSKY TRIO

OPERA I-lOUSE—TO-NIGHT.

To-night at the Opera House the II awe r a public aaTH have the opportunity of hearing the world-renowned C'hevnia“vskv trio. The Cherniavskvs have just had a Avonderful season in Australia —the best they haA-e ever had. They are delighted. . Before the last tour they rested a year and studied in Europe Avith Ysave, Emil Sauer and Pablo Casals, three of the world’s greatest masters. Needless to sav they have improved tremendously, and this was demonstrated by their ovations in Madrid, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and London. There is one. remarkable lesson to be learned from the wonderful young geniuses Leo, Jan and Misehe! Cherniavsky, and that is the work b the musicians, Avhen -*prcsented with poAver, definitely stimulates the minds and emotions of the general public. A Avell-knoAA'ii artist, writing of t-lie Cherhiavskys. says: “They are three young priests from the Temple of the Muses. A'.’lic have been projected into the Avorld to bring comfort to the hearts of tens of thousands. Their ■■music brings Avith it. a message of hope and t ]oy, hope and joy that aa t ill tend to develop expanding ideas in those privileged to hear it. One leaves the presence of the artists and the concert hall they play in, but one neA 7 er entirely leaA-eg the presence of their haunting music, for its essence seems to c-ling permanently to one, and makes for increased happiness and optimism. If I AAmnted to do a good turn to anyone, I aa t ould recommend them to listen to the CherniaA-skys’ music, and that as often as possible. There has been such exceptional interest in these much-travelled artists that it goes without saying that they Avill receive an enthusiastic- reception on their appearance at the Opera House To-night. The box plan for to-night’s recital is at Mrs Cook’s.

EMPRESS PICTURES, MAYA] Y TO-NIGHT. PARAMOUNT PICTURE, ; ‘TO THE LADIES.” r Theodoie Roberts, in the role of J ohn Kincaid, millionaire piano manufacturer in the Paramount picture “To the. Ladie.s,” which will oe shown iit the Empress Marinin, hr.s quite a tussle with an automatic- filing; cabinet, installed by one of his A r aluecl employees. He begins by Hying to open the cabinet, presses a buttcuYand Mirer buttons, but it will not Avorki He begins to lose patience, alums it back and forth and gives it a kick and presses more buttons. Suddenly a bottom drawer flies open, hitting the shins and sending up a shoiA'er of papers. It immediately closes again. As he bends OA-er to nurse his shins a top drawer flies out and bangs him on the head-—more papers go ceiling-Avard and the draAver closes. He straightens no Avith an oath and another dra.\ver flies out and hits him amidship— more papers are scattered. The iifiA-entor of the Aveirrl contraption comes to his rescue onlv to be ordered out of the way roughly AA'lien the boss roars that the files be throAvn out. It is an amusing ccene. that, is, at least, for everyone but Mr. Kincaid. Prices -. Is and Is 6d (plus tax).
