STRAND

MR. ARTHUR BUCKLEY A bright and varied entertainment is offered at the Strand this week, one of the chief attractions is Arthur Buckley, “The Man Who Knows.” Tie appears twice daily at 2.30 and 8 o’clock to answer any and every question on any and every subject. This extraordinary man answers these question without either seeing or hearing his enquirers. This is a chance for Aucklanders to find out about themselves. They might be missing all sorts of wonderful things. Amazing feats of telepathy and horoscopy e# re also performed by Arthur Buckley and his wife. A special matinee will be held for women only next Wednesday. On the screen are two big pictures, as well as the usual excellent topical and scenic filmes. One of these. “Whispering Wires,” is a mystery play which is said to be more exciting than “The Bat,” or “The Cat and the Canary.” This baffling, laughing mystery drama contains some of the finest comedy scenes ever incorporated in any film. Mack Swain and Arthur Housman are cast as two dumb but interested detectives who are sent to a mansion to solve a mystery. Instead of sticking to their job, however, they become involved with a pretty maid. Their antics in the sequence in question are funny enough to keep the most blase audiences in an uproar. Anita Stewart, the star, gives a charming performance. “Love’s Blindness,” the second big picture, is a brilliant drama of love and marriage, played against a background of wealth, titled men and women of London’s advanced social set. Innocent of the ways of the world a young society beauty weds a penniless Earl, who merely seeks to save himself from financial ruin. thrilling episodes he discovers at last he has won more than a fortune—a true love. Pauline Starke and Antonio Moreno are the leading players. The Strand Symphony Orchestra provides a programme of popular and charming music throughout the evening.
