EXCELLENT PICTURE.

Brewster’s Millions 99 Starts Next Monday. On Monday next British Dominions Films will re-open the Civic All-British Theatre for the screening of pictures by presenting for the first time in the southern hemisphere their super-pro-duction, “ Brewster’s Millions.” Recently released in London. “ Brewster’s Millions ” proved a sensational success, critics acclaiming it as one of the greatest entertainments ever produced by a talking picture studio. Jack Buchanan, who is undoubtedly one of the most popular screen players of to-day, is the star, and he is supported by the charming Lili Damita. Buchanan takes the part of Jack Brewster, the young man-a’bout-town who, under the terms of his uncle’s will, is obliged to spend half a million pounds in six months in order to qualify fof a legacy of six millions. The desperate and fantastic things he has to do in order to accomplish this provides entertainment of a kind that will keep any audience in fits of laughter. No other British picture has offered such catchy songs, clever dancing and riotously’ funny episodes. The management also announces the appearance, for a limited season, of Miss Iris Mason, the popular lady’ organist, who some months ago delighted Christchurch audiences with her brilliant playing of popular selections on the city’s grand organ. Box plans will open at the Civic on Thursday, at 10 am. Patrons are advised to make early application for reserves, as no extra charge is made.
