AMUSEMENTS.

THE GRAND. From the well-known story "His Birthright," by J. YV. Riley, Has been woven a scenario which gives®tSessue ilayaliawa such opportunities for the display of liis undoubted Jiisuriomo ability as to leave 110 room tor conjecture. He handle's every situation with the hand of a master, and every pmise of tiie picture seems to o.ume to lniii in sucn a natural manner, as to make him truly live the part. A. further instalment as screened of the amazing serial "Liberty," entitled ••Hiding with Death,'* which reveals another most exciting incident. The encounter between pursued and pursuing is one which raises unbounded enthusiasm in the spectator, while there is the usual thrilling climax to the chapter which only sharpens the thirst loi more. The Gaumont Grapliio is a very interesting number, wliieu shows important happenings from far and near. The programme throughout is of a very high order of merit, and wdli be screened this afternoon and evening.

FULLERS' PICTURES. There is a rather unique production at the Theatre Hoyal this week, in. that it employs no less than live wellknown performers. -'Three Green Eyes" is the title of the resultant film, on which patrons can, with absolute safety, go "nap."' The story is choke full of incident, with lightning rapidity of action. June Elvidge, E?elyn Greeley, Carlyle Blackwell, Mont-ague Love and Johnny Hines, form a combination whose efforts will be hard to surpass. Each in-her or his own way is a specialist, ranging from the leader of romantic appeal and sternness, to effervescent wit and humour, and the scenes are so skilfully arranged, so admirably suited to the specific tpJent of each, that no patron can see the film without remembering it as one of the foremost of recent films. The Gazette. and a comedy travel film complete the bill, which will be screened this afternoon and for the last time this evening. '

TEMUKA PICTURES -TO-NIGHT. In "The Man from Mexico," Jolm Barrymore will be seen at. the Dominion Theatre, Terouka, tliis evening. The story is bursting with excisement, and deals with many experiences in strange lands. It has the class of plot in which John Barrymore revels, and interest is maintained from start t-o finish. " 'Sprise Party 5 n Everything," a comedy of everyday life.'a travelogue "In Curious Colombo," and an Australian Gazette make up a well balanced programme.
