PARAMOUNT AND ARTCRAFT. “A MAN’S HOME.” A striking feature is “A Man’s Home,” which is featured at the companion Paramount and Artcraft Theatres for this week. Frederick Osborne, the self-made man of the film is complacent in tile way he lavishes Me wealth upon a young wife, and fails to give her the sympathy and understanding which she craves. Content with the veneer for a while, the wife is made the victim of some Broadway sharpers. Situation follows situation in rapid succession, and it is only after a severe struggle that Osborne, erstwhile stevedore, realises the pass to which he has been brought by his neglect of his wife. Then he drives the interlopers from his home, and his wife’s heart and all is well with the world. “Who am I?” is the pertinent title of the other star film which presents a slice of the career of Ruth Burns, who leaves finishing school to learn to her horror that her father, prior to his death, was a professional gambler. A gambling house is a very undesirable inheritance, and Ruth’s legacy furnishes muoh excitement as well as some sentiment before tee film flickers out. “Dropped into Scandal” is the mirth-maker in support, and a Chester outing, “Chosen Waters,” is restful and charming. The programme will be screened daily during the week.

ORGAN RECITAL. BY MR BERNARD F. PAGE. , The city organist, Mr Bernard F. Page, selected for his weekly organ recital at the Town Hall last evening a varied) programme of classical works, whioih was much appreciated by a large audience. Commencing with Handel, Mr P age played with much artistic taste an charming expresedion the famous Largo in G, which was included in tee programme by special request. One of Bach’s tooeatas and (fugues, that in D Minor, which followed, afforded an excellent* example of the difference in depth and material in the works of the two old masters. Another request number was Salohe’s "Oantilene.” A Pastorale (op. No. 19) by Cesar Franok, found general favour with the audience, and was heartily applauded. The third movement of Tschaikowsky’s pathetlo symphony (No. 8, B Minor), arranged for organ, is quite a good selection, but is hardly as effective as in its original onohestral setting. Ip loses a good deal of its peculiar beauty through the lack of the string tone, which tee grand organ is of course quite unable to produce.
