ENTERTAINMENTS

KOSY. The management of the Kosy is Quito candid In its criticism of the current programme. We commend his candour and honesty so when we are told that to-morrow’s pictures are exceptiom\!y good, reliance can be placed on the statement, especially when we know that “I’ll Show You the Town” was shown for three weeks in Wellington at the De Luxe, King’s and Queen’s Theatres to crowded audiences. This week-end the Kosy should clean up. PALACE THEATRE. SALLY. The “Sally” season commences on Thursday evening, when patrons of the cinema will have an opportunity of seeing their best picture In years. The status of this film is such that it ha« filled the greatest cinema theatres with overflowing crowds for long and extended seasons, and the bookings already show signs which foretell a great season for Palmerston North. THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS It is not often possible to state with strict attention to the truth, that a picture is as good as it is possible to make it, but the film now being shown at the Palace Theatre will bear all that statement and more, and yet have something in hand to go on with. As a mechanical feature, showing railway life in the States in all it’s detail, It is unique; as a picture full of interest, and overflowing with genuine thrills it Is outstanding; as a great feat of photography under adverse conditions it deserves special mention: for it's heart Interest It will make an appeal to all who see it; for a great fight picture it stands alone; and. as a clean wholesome ex. position of some phases of life to-day it will meet with approval on all hands. You will grip the arm-rests at many scenes in the picture, and hearts will beat faster with the excitement engendered by the thrilling situations which abound. With every confidence this fine picture can be recommended to all. in support of the star film, there are some ox cell'ent efforts on the part of the producer, and the . whole programme well supports the claim of "The Quality Cinema House!’’ ARE YOU A MASON ? The box plan for “Are You A Mason ?” to be presented by Mr. D. B. O'Connor Company on Saturday next, at the Opera House, will be on view, on and after to-day at Oates’ Music Salon. “Are You a Mason.” as staged by Mr. O’Connor, is now more of a musical comedy, many bright songs and dances being added to the orlg. Inal script. The whole of the many screamingly funny situations have been retained and the principal part i s played by Mr. O’Connor. The supporting company is composed of mettropolitan artists and Includes the Misses Doris George, Yiole Rene, Dorrie Arnold, and May Lockwood and Messrs. Eric Conway, John MacKen?.ie and Arthur Lchd. On Saturday night the touring orchestra will be augmented by the members of the late Palace orchestra. PARAMOUNT. Twenty thousand pounds is the amount paid for the screen rights of “Charley’s Aunt,” the famous old play by Brandon Thomas, which, as a fea. ture farce with Syd Chaplin in the title role is now showing. “Charley’s Aunt” has the basic qualities of far. cica.l humour which can be under-

stood In any language, hence its won. derful popularity. SONG RECITAL. Mr. J. Garde Grimshaw and pupils are giving a’ recital in All Saints’ Hall on Friday evening next, assisted by Mr. Philip Eade’s, who will play three pianoforte solos. i A vocal and Interesting programme lias been prepared (advertised in this issue) and a most enjoyable evening’s music is promised, as a glance at the programme will show.
