AMUSEMENTS.

LOUISE MACK. MATINEE ON WEDNESDAY. The return of Miss Louise Mack will bring a special matinee to the People’s Palace Theatre next Wednesday afternoon, June 15, at 2.80. Miss Mack has a record as a lecturer, having lectured in New Zealand for nearly two years, and is still drawing crowded houses everywhere. Under the auspices of the Auckland Education Board Miss Mack will give a special travelogue matinee in Te Kuiti for children from seven to seventy. Moving pictures of delightful European travel will be screened, including Italy, Rome, Holland, France, North America, Belgium, all of which are lectured by Miss Mack, who lived in Europe for 20 years, and knows intimately the life and customs of the countries on the screen. Two delightful comedies, and a play by Victor Hugo will also be shewn. Adults 1/-; Children 6d. EMPRESS THEATRE. The frozen recesses of the great Canadian Northland seem to exercise a fascination on the average picture patron, and to-night at the Empress Theatre a fine specimen of films taken in these silent wildernesses will be screened. ■ Mitchell Lewis, who has achieved much fame and popularity in these pictures, will appear in the role of a half-breed, Jacques La Rouge, who is in love with Memory Baird. Jacques shows all the devotion of a dog for its master in his love for Memory, and yet in the fights that occur he displays the ferocity of a wolf. There will also be a good supporting programme of topical subjects. On Thursday and Friday next Anita Stetwart will be featured in the film “The Fighting Shepherdess.” PEOPLE’S PICTURE PALACE. With reference to the star picture to be presented at the People’s Picture Palace to-night and to-mor-row night, the Sydney Daily Telegraph (3/5/21) says: “The picture film, “Nothing Else Matters,” is without doubt an exceptional film in the technical sense, and a good entertainment. Its direction and photography are superb, and the acting is exceptionally good. The production holds the attention right until the end.” The supports will include the latest Topical Budget and a Christie comedy, “All Gayzed Up.”
