By arrangement with CRYSTAL PALACE, LTD., COMMENCING MONDAY Presents with Pride The Most Powerful Programme ever submitted in New Zealand. TWO PHOTOPLAY MASTERPIECES. Classics by the master pens of HENRI BERNSTEIN and MARK TWAIN. Different in theme, these plays mirror, the passions, the frailties, the powers; that play their part in working out human destiny—both reflect the realism of life —entertain, enlighten, and encourage appreciation of the '' big things" that count in this world. A Fox Photoplay Supreme, written by HENRI BERNSTEIN. "SAMSON" was chosen by the Pox Film Corporation to open their business with in Sydney, and being shown at a professional matinee, ran at the Theatre Royal and had packed houses at prices of admission ranging from 4/to'l/-. "SAMSON" is a play in complete sympathy with our aspirations of to-day. The rise of a dock hand to power and affluence, and the financial battles that subsequently come his way are depicted in a maimer calculated to grip your attention from start to finish. SHOWS WILLIAM FARNUM AT HIS BEST. "SAMSON'' is WILLIAM FARNUM'S Masterpiece. Never did any play, including even Ben Hur, enable FARNUM to better display those histrionic abilities that win for him the largest salary paid to any actor. FARNUM suits the play even as the play suits Farmtm, with the result that in "SAMSON" we have some of the 'finest acting that has ever been screened. MARK TWAIN'S "THE PRINCE AMD THE PAUPER." When MARK TWAIN wrote "THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER" he did so with the serious intention of showing the lot of the "Down and Out" before the advent of democracy, and no author could have succeeded better than he did. The play is full of interest, and many contrasts of society are admirably portrayed. This Famous Players production is an elaborate and impressive picturisation of MARK TWAIN'S master-work, and with MARGUERITE CLARK as the dual-title character it is a triumph of screen art. With the dainty, adorable MARGUERITE CLARK As Prince and Pauper. '' The Prince and the Pauper " is a wonderful combination of MARK TWAIN'S greatest achievement, and MARGUERITE CLARK in a new role that is far greater than all her previous successes.
