Murv Rieki’ord has not been seen on the Dominion screens in anything imw tor about 12 months and her numerous admirers will be glad to hear that the first of her productions since she linked up with the “Big Emir - ’ is to lie shown in Palmerston North. On Wednesday night and for the rest of the week, “Pollyamia/’ will be shown at Everybody's. This picture is said to bo tar superior to any of her previous productions, as it was supervised by the master-mind of the silent drama, J). W. Grillilh. With such a combination, and with such a wonderful story as “Pollyanna,” it is no wonder that .-licit great results are achieved. _ Ihe story is pretty and gives the “worlds sweetheart some tino opportunities to show her emotional powers as well as her well-known and well beloved faculty* to amuse without getting down to low comedy, ihere will also he a matinee on Saturday, _ when parents may lake their children with the full knowledge that nothing but a bright and clean entertainment will be provided. The box plans for the season may be seen at the Kosy office. KOSV, TWO FINE FEATURES. “Red Courage," now showing at the Kosv. is one of tiie best western pit lures seen lor a- long time. Hoot Gibson.

A comedy and serial make up a bTliour good movie entertainment.
