PICTURES TO-NIGHT. “Beating the Game,” Tom Moore’s latest attraction, .will be shown at Temuka to-night. It is one of the most brilliant stories that the popular lom has ever appeared in. He is seen as a young cracksman who goes to a small town and takes his chance of running on the straight road. He is to run for mayor when a former crook of Ins association puts in an appearance, and his confession to the people' that he has been a thief brngs the story to an unusual and amazing climax, llie story is one that will appeal, as it contains a moral for every young man. An exceptionally good Sennetb comedy is among the supports, which also include a Pathe Gazette and Topical. EUCHRE BARTY AND DANCE.
