"WILL THEY NEVER COME?"

No war drama has attracted such audiences as the patriotic war film, "Will They Never Come?" The picture is an admirable one, and if there should be people who fail to realise the momentous seriousness of" the present conflict in Europe, and in the Dardanelles, the story told by this picture will do much to enlighten them. The following is a copy of a letter from the Minister of Defence with reference to the picture: "I have to thank you for. your kindly thought in asking me to view your motion pidture entitled 'Will They Never Come?' I think the exhibition of the picture puglavto i m _ press upon those whose duty it is to enlist at this time, the necessity of complying with the demands of such duty. Recruiting has been fairly satisfactory lately; still we ha.ye to keep the spirit going until the .end of the war, and I have no doubt the lesson which is to be learned from your picture will help in this respect. Please note that unmara-ied men are specially desired as recruits: (Signed) J. Allen, Minister of Defence." As an additional hallmark of the picture's excellence it has been accorded the patronage of the Governor and the Countess of Liverpool, the Prime- Minister, and the Minister of Defence, This film will be shown at the Opera House, Hawera, Wednesday and Thursday, under the patronage and in the presence "of his Worship the Mayor and Borough Councillors, the chairman of the Patriotic 1 Committee, and military officers.
