THE PICTURE HOUSES.

THE KOSY THEKTEE

"DEEDS THAT WON GALLIPOLI.'

! The, drawing power of the great patriotic war film, "Deeds that Won Gallipoli,/' or "Within Our Gates," was strikingly manifested at the Kosy yesterday, wheti large crowds flocked in at all sessions to witness the screening. The film has an additional interest inasmuch as it is acted by an Australian caste and is a colonial production. It seems that the time is not far distant when the colonial productions will outrival those of England. America, or the Continent. The story in "Deeds that Won Gallip'oli" is powerful, gripping, and singularly appropriate, The drama is based on the fact of a wireless plant being discovered secreted in the house of a wealthy German in \the outskirts of Melbourne. The story shows in a concise and realistic manner jtist how the German spies go about their work and their ingenuity in obtaining information of great value to Germany. The final scenes show how a weak man redeems his character by sacrificing his life in the storming of the heights of Gallipoli. This picture will be screened absolutely the last time to-night, and those who have not seen it should on no account iniss this last opportunity of doing so. The supporting films are of a very high standard, and are varied and interesting. HAYWARD'S PICTURES.

" An impecunious couple go to stay at a fashionable hotel, to which they bring their handsome daughter from school in the hope of her marrying well. In the end she succeeded in doing so. but has some very unpleasant experiences, as also do her parents owing to a masquerading millionaire. Among interesting items' in the Pathe Gazette are King Victor Emanuel reviewing the quickfooted Bersaglieri prior to their departure for the front and the manufacture of thousands of cartridges daily by women. Chester Conklin, with a barrel organ and a monkey, creates no end of mirth in "Do Re Mi Boom," in which a teacher of singing and his pupils figure prominently. There are several smart and anplausp evoking cartoons, "Done While You Wait'/ in "John Bull's Sketch Book." "The Fiend at the Throttle" and "Who's Who in Hogg's Hollow," a Yitagraph farcecomedv, complete a bright and varied programme.

EVERYBODY'S coxTixrors pictures. The present change at Everybody's is attracting large houses, and the audiences are delighted not only with the excellent programme, but also with the orchestra under the direction of Mr ,T. Dick. A feature of the programme is the third episode of the "Million Dollar Mystery." The plot lis interwoven with many thrilling incidents, particularly the desperate acts of t!i<> "Flack Hand" in orrfer to secure Hargreave's millions. The film concludes with a sensational leap of a criminal in the dark in order to avoid capture. The Pathe Gazette covers a wide range of topical pastures wherein the process of manufacturing munitions is clearly shown, and some idea of the enormous quantity used in warfare can be gathered. The comical element is well catered for in the "Hotel Cartoons," and the film is calculated to produce one continuous laugh. The departure of the Sixth Reinforcements gives a clear view of the troops embarking on the transport and the large crowd exchanging farewells with the soldiers just before the hoat sails. A stirring drama is shown in "A Mother's Justice." and the • )ble self-sscrifice of the mothor apto audience.
