SATURDAY NEX i. Tom Mix and his famous horse, Tony, will be seen next Saturday night in the star's new William Fox exciter, “Soft Boiled.” Tom is not only a stunt performer par excellence in this feature, but he also takes his spurs as a comedian who understands how to make an audience chortle with glee at his droll antics. Billie Dove lends her captivating charms to the love interest. Newspapers all over the Dominion describe this as a fine comedy. Don't miss it. WEDNESDAY NEXT. It is with pleasure the management announces the presentation of another double star programme for Wednesday next. These features are “Gimme” and “Look Your Best.” “Gimme” is the story of the housewife’s financial problems and is as true in Kaitaia as it is in New York.

We can safely say that there is no topic of more vital interest to the public to-day than the pock-et-book question of domestic life so skilfully and dramatically presented by Rupert Hughes latest audience treat, "Gimme!” No other mind now creating for the screen has brought forth a domestic story so keen in its understanding and so universal in its sympathy as Mr. Hughes’ smashing indictment of the housewife's economic situation. In “Gimme!” Rupert Hughes displays more vividly than ever before his deep understanding of JrtJrr.e life and its problems. * “Gimme!” makes a brilliant, clever and powerful appeal for a partnership arrangement in marriage wherein the woman by her part of the bargain earns a fair share of the family income and need not be humiliated by constantly reminding her husband of money requirements. What a topic of burning interest to women! Married or unmarried, they know and feel keenly the message Mr. Hughes has pictured. Here is woman’s case presented beautifully, sympathetically and with a rare humorous touch on the screen. “LOOK. YOUR BEST” the other star feature is a comedydrama concerning a ItalianAmerican girl of New York who goes into vaudeville. It is said to be a simple yet appealing story with the usual Hughes sense of comedy ever bubbling up to the surface of the drama. Women in particular, ever in dread of the increasing avoirdupois which threatens their beauty, will be interested in Perla and her struggles to resist her love of food for the sake of remaining thin in order to retain her means of livelihood. The characters are sharply etched and are most human. Goldwyn gave the director an able cast headed by Colleen Moore and Antonio Moreno. Book vour seats now for this laugh-packed story.
