AMUSEMENTS.

FULLERS’ ; Picture patrons at Fullers’ last night were amazed and delighted when they witnessed the second screening of "A Tale of Two Worlds.” This picturisa.tion is a talo by Governor Alorris, and is remarkable for. its ingenious plot, and its extraordinary Eastern atmosphere. The love story is enthralling, commencing with tho meeting of the American curio hunter and little Sm Sen, who sees him from her balcony. Then ' commences many surreptitious meetings, followed by the terrible announcement of her old Chinese guardian that she is to marry, the evil tyrant of Chinatown. Tho Chinese wedding is a picturesque scene, and remarkably beautiful, 'and there are also weird scenes of tho New Year celebrations. Tho big picture has excellent supports in tlic form of a. Gazette, and a comedy of rare parts.

THE GRAND. The modern flapper is the second most important factor in the life of every young man of to-day. This is not the boast of one of the species, but the observation of a cold-blooded philosopher. In "The Country Flapper” with Dorothy Gish at the Grand, this philosophy is vividly illustrated. In the cities, in the villages, in the schools and in the newspapers of the land, the "Flapper” is tho topic of the hour. Linearly every home, the “Flapper” is discussed over the dinner table. 'She is our up-to-the-minute girl,' who is re-, ■sponsible for our future generations.f Slio is the girl who thinks, and the girl of self-assurance. Her style is delightful,. her independence _ refreshing. Supporting the star attraction are the "Gaumont Graphic,” an interesting topical. "In Old French Canada,” an educative scenic, the “Pat-lie Gazette,” showing events of importance from all parts of tho globe, and "The Dog Catcher.” a laugh raising comedy set on novel- lines. The pro-gramme will be screened for the last time to-night, and is well worthy of a visit,

“A NIGHT OUT.” Aland Fane, who will be seen in Timaru presently as Alarcello in the J. C. "Williamson musical comedy production “A Night Out,” is retiring from the stage at the conclusion of the Dominion tour. Aliss Fane, who married a first lieutenant in the Imperial Navy, intends to settle in England and play Lady Bountiful to hubby’s Lord oi the Alanor on a beautiful estate in Surrey, recently inherited by her husband. Aliss Fane is without doubt the most popular comedienne on the Australian stago to-day. In view of her proposed retirement, it is interesting to note, that this dainty artist will be seen during the coming season in three <pf her best characterisations —Alarcello. in "A Night Out,” Alary, in the comic opera of'that name, and Fanny, in “Oh! Lady, Lady!”
