AMUSEMENTS.

PERMANENT PICTURES.

The '..programme to be screened tonight at the Empire Theatre is an tuinsiially attractive one, headed by a Fox film entitled "Blazing Loye." 'in this production, Virginia Pearson takes the lead,-..•with' Frank Bnrbeck. The cast is particularly strong, and well chosen. The story revolves round Margaret Walsh, who. to please her father becomes the wife of Morgan Delafiold, who is twice her .age. During ten years of ' married .life she becomes a fashionable leader of society. A young man, Stephen Bond, protects her from the insults of a cad, Barridan, and Margaret becomes interested in him, with the result that later on her husband overhears a mutual declaration of love between the two. He does not disclose his knowledge, but Margaret confesses to him, and he tells her she is not to blame, for ''youth calls to youth." In supreme self-sacrifice Deiafield takes his own life in a way that makes it appear there has been an accident. Time passes. Margaret marries Bond, and they live in happiness i till the woman discovers that she is no I longer young, while the man is still in j the prime of life. Also Bond has in his turn fallen in love with a young girl. Margaret, makes her decision. That night she makes her toilet with all 'the, art she knows, and, restored to outward yuuth, dazzles her husband with her happy brilliance. His old affection for her returns, but next morning's sun finds Margaret's lifeless body lj'ing across her couch. An excellent supporting programme will bo screened with the star piece. Motueka will be visited on Saturday as usual.
