THE PICTURE HOUSES.

HAYWABD 'S PICTUBES. The Lubin Company supplies 45 minutes of excitement with the dramatic story of New York life titled "Bated at Ten Millions." One Bobert Leeds is left heir to a fortune at an early age. An impostor obtaining possession of his eards impersonates him at a swell hotel, and there he is introduced to a society girl, whom he subsequently kidnaps. The appearance of the right heir leads to the discovery of the girl's whereabouts. Much glee is created by "Do Be Mi Boom." As suggested by the title, it concerns singers. John Bull's Sketch Book proved to be well filled with new ideas of the Kaiser's anticipations and realisations regarding Paris and other places. "Who's Who in Hcgg's Hollow," a Vitagraph comedy, the latest Pathe Gazette, are other items well worth seeing.

EVERYBODY'S CONTINUOUS PICTURES. The change of programme at Everybody's this week contains a fine selection of interesting pictures. The departure of the Sixth Reinforcements is very clearly depicted. Our boys are shown marching along the quay on their way to embark. "Cartoons in a Hotel" is one of the clever Edison series, and contains many humorous animated cartoons. A particularly interesting film is the "Pathe Gazette, " Hsyhich contains many stirring incidents. The prominent part women are taking in the manufacture *of munitions at Home is clearly depicted. Women acting as letter carriers are also shown, making the daily delivery. The third episode of the "Million. Dollar Mystery," depicting the Hargreave's millions, is also included in this week's change. The picture is getting more and more interesting as the plot develops. The present screening contains many scenes in different localities, where the gang are still following up the trail. A trap is laid by a reporter, who is friendly with Florence, and is partially successful, some of the gang being arrested. One of the leaders escapes in a daring manner, and makes a sensational leap over a wharf in the dark when hotly pursued by the police. "A Mother's Justice" contains a dramatic story of a mother and her daughter and the sacrifices of a parent to save the honour of her girl. The orchestra, under the conductorship of Mr J. Dick, adds greatly to the pleasure of watching the pictures and will doubtless be greatly appreciated by the picture loving /public. THE KOSY THEATRE. "DEEDS THAT WON GALLIPOLI.'

There is being screened at the Kosy a film the merit of which is unprecedented. At suet a time as this, when our New Zealand boys are fighting and dying for their country a war film dealing with their heroic deeds must of necessity be of potent interest. "Within Our Gates," or "Deeds that won Gallipoli," is a stirring drama, which is based on the actual fact -of a powerful wireless plant being discovered near Melbourne in a wealthy German's home. The scenes are laid in Melbourne and the caste is Australian. The story is powerful, and as the stirring scenes are shown and sensational incidents arise the audience are worked up to a high pitch of excitement. A special feature is the splendid photography and superb acting. The grand finale is a stirring and sensational scene showing the storming of the heights of Gallipoli by the Australians and New Zealanders. Last evening at the Kosy the patriotic song. "On to Berlin," was sung in honour of the great Allies' victory in the Dardanelles. The supporting films, including the funniest comedy yet, "Kweer Kan? 1 ar» exceptions! merit.
