ENEMY ALIENS.

COUNTY COUNCIL’S ATTITUDE

At to-day’s H.B. County Council meeting a resolution was received from the Gisborne Borough Council, asking this Council to co-operate in securing the internment of all enemy aliens. The chairman (Cr. Mason Chambers) said this matter was more for the Government than for a local body like this to deal with. The request was, he considered, alto gether too. sweeping. It was better to leave it in tie hands of the Government to deal with cases as they thought fit. He had no sympathy with the idea that indiscriminate action should be taken in regard to men of enemy origin. Cr. Shrimpton: I move that the letter be received.

Cr. Kinross White: I disagree. The only way to deal with aliens is to make it an all round business. TheYe would be hardships, but surely to goodness we had suffered hardships enough. He read an extract from a recent newspaper, stating that four more mines had been dis covered in the vicinity of the sinking of the Win mera. He supported the Gisborne resolution.

Cr. Clarkson seconded Cr. Shrimp ton’s motion. Cr. White moved as an amendment thatrthe resolution be agreed to. y

No one seconded the amendment, and tjy? letter was received. TO-NIGHT’S PICTURES. FA' ER YBOD Y’ S, HA STI NG S. The three noblest passions in a Roman’s life —her love for a man, her love for her child, and her love tor her country —form the foundation of the amazing ploto-spectacle entitled “XVomanhood,” the Glory of the Nation. This Vitagiaph masterpiece, in ,-acis, was introduced to a large and enthusiastic audience on Saturday evening. The cast of players is an unusual one, including four leading artists. A very brief description of lue play is as follows: —rravching in Europe Alary Ward (Alice Jo>ee) meets Count Dario (waiter McGail), of Kuritai.ia, who falls in love with her. Sue promises to give him an answer later. Returning io America by way of the Philippines Mary meets Strong (Harry Morey), tinted States representative there, fxere she learns that her mother and ..ouiiger sister lias been kided in an air raid o.er the United States. Sue a.id strong return together. Mary s mother Pmlip has been in action wuii uis regiment and has been biinued. ms uanceo (Peggy Hy land) acting as a nurse has been scarred about lue face, lue invading army has been headed by Marshal Prince Dario and his sou the uount. Alary gains their confidence, and enters their ranks as an American spy. Strong is made master of energies of the country, and tours it, arous mg tnat portion of the Slates not under the head of the invader to action. His sister (Naomi Childers) dressed aJoan ot Arc and carrying the nag is brought out to inspire the public. She does such tremendous good that Prince Dario captures her and has her shot m public. But finally Strong’s untiring efforts bear fruit. An army is raised, and after battles on land and sea the Ruritanias are driven out. “We shad make the similie of Joan of Arc complete” said the implacable Prince of Ruratania when he had captured the beautiful girl, who by dressing as “Joan of Arc” had so greatly aided her country against the invader. Die incident occurs in “Womanhood.” One of the most remarkable achievements of the screen to date is to snow an ocean on fire and ships steaming through the sea of flames. This is one of the closing scenes in this feature. Two interesting Gazettes —Pathe and American —make up the rest of the programme. MUNICIPAL THEATRE ■

This theatre was crowded to its utmost capacity on Saturday evening and the wild outbursts ot jaugthei i and applause were ample evidence of the excellt nee of the programme screened. No greater tomboy was ever seen in real life or read of in fiction than Ann Pennington the statin Paramount’s latest production

‘The Antics of Ann.” Installed in. a select boarding school for young ladies, which happens to be next door to a boarding school for boys- ■ Ann causes the headmistress no end of worry and trouble and absolutely ‘ shocks the whole school by joining, the boys in a football match. Hitting tae teacher in the eye with a prune, scaling the verandah posts, causing uproars in the dormitory, ap- : pearing in a fashionable cafe as a Russian dancer, are some of the few! antics of this amazing ball of vitalty. You will laugh for many a day at the antics of Ann. The Sunmaid June Caprice is shown in Williams Fox’s latest play “Every Girl’s Dream.” This picture is the best photo-idyll ever made by the dainty June. It is a charming play of childhood, love and adventure and sets a new mark in June’s career of making clean, delightful dramas. A distinctly sweet touch is given the film by the work of Kittens Reichert, Mr. Fox’s little seven-year-old player. S.m is a fine little teammate for June. Fatty Arbuckle in “Fatty at Coney Island” is more comical than ever and tins his latest picture is easily his best. The last chapter of “The Lass of the Lumberlands” gives a splendid finish to this popular serial.
