LIBERTY THEATRE.

A very varied and attractive programme of pictures and music is provided in the new programme at the Liberty Theatre. Pride of place, must be given to '•‘Pay Day,” featuring the ever-popular Charles Chaplin. The story is full of ludicrous happenings from the time Chaplin is seen at “work ” on earth excavations till ho is paid off. and his contention with his wife over the. possession of his wages affords abundance of fun. A Goldwyn picture, ” The Old Nest.” is the second feature. The theme is that of a mother who sees her six children leave her. All the joys and sorrows connected with raising a family have been dramatised. The children grow to manhood or womanhood. all with their own individual interests, and then leave tha old nest to follow the call of their desires. Only the mother is left in her loneliness and with her memories. The eventual reunion is happily portrayed. Mary Alden, invests the role of the mother with a realism that, cannot fail to attract attention. ‘‘The Cave Girl,” a vivid, pulsating story or youth, romance and adventure, enhanced by magnificent outdoor scenery, is the third attraction. In addition there is a very interesting and instructive topical gazette. During the screening of the pictures an admirable musical programme is contributed by the Liberty Quality Orchestra under the direction of Mr Howard Moody.
