Foxton Talkies

A deeply emotional tale of mother love and sacrifice comes to tho Foxton Town Hail to-night in “Cradle Song,” the first motion picture in which Paramount’s newest star, Dorothea Wieck, has appeared before Australian picture-goers. Campletely off the beaten track of motion picture entertainment, "Cradle Song” is a delicato handling of a difficult theme. The story by the noted Spanish playwright, G. AI. Alartinez Sierra, tells of a child abandoned at a convent, and raised by one of the sisters. As Sister Joanna, Aliss Wieck has been longing for the motherhood denied her. Sho lavishes on the foundling all the love and affection she would have given to a child of her own. Drama and heart-break mount to a moving climax when the child, grown to girlhood, meets a young man outside the convent and leaves to marry him. The following are the coming attractions at the Foxton Town'Hall:—November 23 and 24, "It Happened One Night”; November 2S, “One Way Passage”; November 30 and December 1. “The Wandering Jew”; December 5, “Madame Spy”; December 7 and 8, “Little Women”; December 12, "General John Regan”; December 14 and 15, “Let’s Fall in Love.”
