"THE BETTER 'OLE."

Space^ls sure to be at a premium at His Majesty's on Saturday and Monday next when "the six^reel superfeature "The Better 'Ol e ;" or "The Romance of Old Bill" will be screened. "The Better 'Ole" is not a war ■picture, but it depicts the little joys arid sorrows and. the jokes played on ench other by the-men behind the lines. Old Bill, Alf, and Bert are the characters prominent in the story. It falls to Old Bill to do the big .chivalrous deedsl. He accidentally fools a spy of his plans, and just as accidentally has them deciphered, and resolves to1 frustrate their plans alone. It nearly cost Old Bill his life, but even that he faced cheerfully. The spirit, of gratitude is too ihely in France; but. Old Bill is saved jit the opportune moment by the little French giii who shared his secret turning up with a French geneial, who-pins the Croix de Guerre over his astonished heart and kisses lim on both cheeks. Music in symphony with the different interests of the film has been specially compiled,, and this will be rendered by His Majesty's'orchestra. The box plan is at the Central News Agency.

We have always applied this policy to our goods. Our pianos, for instance, are offered at much below present-day values, and we are determined to sell them, at prices little more than '■ second-hand instruments aso bringing to-day.'
