DRAMA.

TWO SPLENDID EXCLUSIVE*

The current programme which is screening at the Paramount Theatre is a really excellent one, tmd includer the special Paramount photoplay en-

titled "A Petticoat Pilot," in which pretty Vivian Martin has the leading role. The second big feature on the programme is a splendid Ffoneer production, in which wo see little Emmie Gorman in her second great film success. Two brothers successful in the fishing industry agree to, dissolve partnership. Their tastes are j opposite, one sighing for city life ancU| the other for the open life of the sea.' Ono goes to the city, and shortly after," the brother is drowned with his wife" in a. storm. A little child is left with his wife's Bister, unprovided for. The sister takes her to the uncle in town, where he is living a life of dissipation. He agrees to adopt the child, on condition that she does not interfere with 7as life. The child insinuates her way into His affections and is the means of him dropping his mode of living, and eventually falling in love with the sister and marrying her. A good Gazette is shown in support.

LONDON'S FOREMOST BARITONE HARRY DEARTH. "Tho greatest singer to visit Australia since Santloy created such a furore here," is how one critic summed up the wonderful magnetism and personality of the English baritone, Harry Dearth, who has just completed a sorieß of 22 concerts at the Auditorium, Melbourne, where he attracted thousands of music-lovers. Perhaps what has charmed Melbourne criics more than anything else in the singing of Harry Dearth is that he lends such wonderful life to even the most ordinary ballads. He has tho gift of putting out from a song the type of person' represented in that song and ho makes the character live. Most noticeable is this gift to ,be traced in "Old Barty" and "Company Sergeant-Major," and in "Stono Cracker John," items for which he was encored again and again whenever he sang them in Melbourne. J. and N. Tait have arranged for the oopular baritone to visit New Zealand, and after a highly successful season in Dunedin, Christchurkch, and Wellington, he will give one roncert at tho Opera House, Masterton, on Thursday, November 13'. Mr. Dearth will have the assistance of a distinguished company of artists, including the celebrated contralto. Madame Marie Power; the wellknown pianiste and acocmpanisto. Miss Carlien Juro; in addition to Mr; Harold Beck, the talented 'cellist. The' box plan is now open at the .Bristol.
