"COSY" THEATRE.

TWO SPLENDID FEATURES

Tho current change at tho -Cosy Theatre includes two splendid pictures. "The Co-respondent" is picturized from the play of tho same name by Aliee Leal Pollock, and ! s produced by Ralph W. Ince. In settings, lighting, direction, photography and titling an unusuai degreo of excellence was attempted. Ralph W. Ince personally directed'the. production, putting « into it the. b.est /fruits of the thought, and experience that has given him an enviable position among the pioneer screen .directors of America. The picture tells a thrilling story of life—and has a universal appeal, and should attract patronage from all classes bf picture pa rens in all sections of the country. "The "Co-respondent" was ,one of tho brilliant successes in America, its season at the Broadway Theatre, New York, being memorable for its box office returns. The appealing character; to whom Elaine Hammerstein adds her own natural loyableness is that of a girl agonizingly placed at the mercy of an outraged wife and ari unscrupulous husband—while duty insists on such exposure of her curious misfortune as' love will never tolerate. "Believe' me, Xantippe,"' is a splendid five-reeler melodrama, in which popular Wallace Reid adds further to his laurels in popularity. This programme will be shown again this evening.

The fame of Louise Mack, the wonderful woman who did such fine , work in France and Belgium during'over four years of war, and was, on one occasion, a prisoner in the German 'lines, has preceded her, with the remit that seats are already in keen lemand for her one-night recital at the Masterton Opera Housq on Friday next. Louise Mack's recital is not "just the ordinary dry lecture." [b has been referred to by tho Melbourne Age generally as "a revelation, an enlightening influence of inistimable' value emanating from the, greatest woman speaker ever heard n Australia J' Miss Mack will tell of "How I met Edith Caveill; "Five Days a German Prisoner"; "What I saw inside the German Lines"; "With Edith Cavell in Brussels"; "Crossing tho Straits with Captain Fryatt>," and a hundred and ono personally observed incidents of barbarities, outrages, heroism and devotion of intensest interest. Referring to Louise Mack's account of her second i meeting with Nurse Cavell, a contemporary writes :—"Thpy met again | at the hospital tho following night; tho story of that meeting, of the martyred nurse's wonderful bravery, her devotion- to duty, and tho subsequent tragedy that moved all the world to pity and honour, held the audience enthralled." Children! understand and enjoy Louise Mack's recitals equally with adults. The box plan is at the Bristol.
