“ENLIGHTEN THY DAUGHTER."

At the change of programme to-morrow at the King’s the film sensation of the year, entitled "Enlighten thy Daughter,” will be the star attraction. The film is said to handle a delicate problem in a way that tells the truth, misses nothing, and yet gives no offence. The story tells of two girls of entirely different typos, who are cousins. Ruth (Eubye Reemer) grows to maturity under the watchful care of a loving mother, while Lillian is neglected by her mother, whoso passion for gambling is greater than her love for home and family. Euth is told in unmistakable language what the danger is of chance meeting with young men, while Lillian is kept in ignorance, and so the girl falls a prey to the first fascinating man she meets. Her life ia forfeited for her mother ppts her in the hands of an evil doctor, and as a result of his work the innocent girl dies. The story is swift in action and portrayed by a cast of exceptional merit. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. To-night will see the farewell appearance at Everybody’s of Corinno Griffiths in “X Will Repay," a pioturisation of O. Henry’s famous story. "BETTY TAKES A HAND.’’ At the change to-morrow at ' Everybody’s. Olivo Thomas will bo seen in an orginal Triangle play, “Betty Takes a Hand." She is the daughter of a brokendown miner, whoso rich sister-in-law sends for the girl to go to San Francisco. Betty goes as the guest of her aunt, out finds that her cousin. Ida. has set her cap to Tom Bartlett, and they are about to sail for a cruise. Tom quarrels with his father, and leaves in a huff. On his way he stops at the Haines house, where he finds a strange beauty posing as Miss Haines, conducting a boardinghouse. Bo falls a victim to the girl’s beauty, and becomes the first boarder. Later they are married, and when the fathers on both sides find it out they are angry, and the resulting complications are fast and furious. In addition will ,be shown a very fine picture of Auckland and surroundings taken from an aeroplane. This picture has been taken by permission of the New Zealand Flying Corps (Walsh Bros, and Dexter, Ltd.), and shows aviators in training, pupils receiving flight instruction at the school, principals, staff, and pupils (the latter now on active service with the Royal Flying Corps) undertaking test’flights on a seaplane. It is said to equal anything of the kind yet attempted in any other .country, and should provo of great in--terest, 'n —■ —; ALLAN WILKIE IN “SEVEN DAYS’ /T LEAVE." 1 jDhe outwitting of Hun spies, tho realistic sinking of a U-boat, a groat fight, a scene in a Hun hospital, and the dedication of a shrine to fallen heroes, ore a few incidents in this now play of war, laughter and thrills. The distinguished actor. Mr Allan Wilkie, has got together a company exactly suited to tho parts allotted to them, and they act in the broad vivid spirit in which they are written. As to the story itself, there is sufficient spicing of intrigue to make it absorbingly interesting to all lovers of melodrama; but it is rendered still more Interesting by the hero upsetting the Hun plans in a way which removes any doubt his sweetheart might have entertained concerning his love for her. oven though a misunderstanding had been responsible for a temporary estrangement. The interest which is being taken in tho p«ce can he judged by tho fact that ory available seat was occupied during the season at His , Majesty’s Theatre, Auckland. Mr Ben J. Fuller and John Fuller, junr., announce that “Seven Days’ Leave" will bo presented at tho Grand Opera House to-morrow evening at 8 o’clock. The box plan is at tho Bristol Piano Company,, and intending patrons are advised to'book at once. EMPRESS.
