It Is an absorbing drama, of the adventures of a girl who worked in a dress manufacturing concern, and who. when receiving the invitation to j't.tend the party, borrows a beautiful gown from her employers. She intends to return it to the factory in the morning, but when at the party, she slips and falls into a bathing pool, the gown being utterly ruined. Ono of the most mysterious dramas that has yet been shown in Christchurch describes the second film that is on the programme—"The Unknown Purple."
