palace Tin*: a'ini-:. The .powerful English production of tlie enthralling story of “C'oiaine,” with Hilda, Bay ley, tin- favorite London star, in tlie stellar role, will be shown at tlie. Palace 'Theatre to-night; also the magnificent Paramount production, ‘'Lawful Larceny,’' with Hope Hampton, Xita. Na'idi, Lew Cody and Conrad Nagel in. tlie leading characters. The Leather Pushers and other novelties are added. Commencing with the matinee tomorrow the potent, and gorgeous William Pox special production, “Does It Pay';’’ is one of tlie great pictures on the hill. It. is also the greatest, picture made this year, and is played by a cast of stars and favorites that excel any other assemblage of picture stars ever gathered in one production, Hope Hampton, Robert T. Haines, Mary Thurman: Florence Short, and Peggy Shawm being a few of the names that are on the cast of characters. Another special attraction is the big laugh-winning picture in seven reels, starring Maher Xonnand, and produced by Mack Seimett, “Susannah.’’ This is* one of the “Big Four” pictures, the big four being Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charles Chaplin and Alack Sennett. The supporting subjects are also special attractions. The Imperial comedians appear in a whirlwind of laughter, “Why Pay Dent?” A special Fox News and a special Paramount Gazette being amongst the outstanding supports. “Does It Pay?” is a picture that presents the whirlpool of life from a new angle. It is one of the, most gorgeously produced romances of the screen. It is stated that the gowns* worn in the pro-1 due,lion ailone. cost over DSOCO.

There was no mistaking the popularity of the new programme at .Everybody's last night. “Where the North Begins,” a. Master picture, with Rin-Tin-Tin, tlie Belgian police dog, as the star, achieved a distinct success, and this picture ranks equally with the very best, yet seen in Gisborne. Gladys 'Walton, in “The Town Scandal;” a, clever comedy drama, “Oh, Nursie,” Century comedy, and the International News complete the programme showing again to-night. “Who are my Parents?” tb.e William Fox special, with aVI star cast, and “The Lonely Road,” with handsome Katherine MacDonald n,s the star, will be the main attractions to-morrow at Everybody’s. If there is any thing to be told by titles, “Who are my Parents?” should be filled with heart interest. It is a splendid photoplay that should appeal to those who care for good clean dramatic material. The author of the story, “Mr. X,” has worked with the single idea, of holding the interest of the spectator t from start to finish. To accomplish this he has diversified 1 the action by tine in- , traduction of a number of appealing kiddie characters and given them many charming revelations of child nature. Peggy Shaw, wfio was a former favorite with “Zicig.fckl Follies,” has one, of the leading roles. Florence Billings, Roger Lytton, Miles Welch, and Marie Reichardt are soine-of the other stars, ("an women fi 1 id. greatest happiness in the domestic Life or in the independence of the business world? “The Lonely Road” provides an interesting solution of this ,problem. A selected supporting programme will also be shown.
