GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

STELLA DALLAS. Striking the keynote of romance;, “Stella Dallas” bares the love life of the central character played by Bello Bennett. It pictures a girl in love with love.. It unfolds her amorous nature, her marriage, her peccadilos, and vividly visualises the heights to which Stella rose a,nd the depths to which she fell. There is no moral, in the, story. It is entertainment of a high order. It is romance, realistic with laughter and pathos, leaving Stella, as puzzled a.s life is itself. The climax of “Ste.lla Dallas” is as tender and as glorious as any big thrill heretofore projected from celluloid. ARE YOU MIN SPONDULICKS, '! Quite easy. Mr Spondulicks will be in town between the Dolly Varden and the Bank of New Zealand from 7.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday next.
