ENTERTAINMENTS

A GOOD PROGRAMME. DOUBLE STAR. The current programme which will, have its last screening to-night is one of merit and distinction. "A Lady to Love" is a simple stoiy filmed in. an impressive manner and features Vilma Banky, the noted Continental actress. There are no lavishly prepared scenes yet from beginning to end the picture holds plenty of interest to satisfy the patron. The second attraction is-" The Call' of the West,".a story told in the wide open spaces, of a girl sickening of tjfe, city who goes West and there, finds life . and interesting, and thrilling affairs. Matt Moore and Dorothy Revier have , the leading roles and are supported by a fine cast. _. . . ' . ■■* \i '■■■-•■ -..-.; ;■: V ■'■.■:»*?T : Wk "THE UNHOLY THREE." ..,' J On Monday commences a season o%w five nights during which Lon Chariey'a one and only talkie, "The, Unholy.. V. Three,' ' will be screened, together wi'th. a fino supporting programme. Chancy-, was the possessor of a fine full voice ; which recorded well and is heard to. , advantage in Ms talkie. In this picture Chancy is called upon to take distinctly different characters, and in each case he has just the right expression and gesture for the part. He is seen as a ventriloquist who, when his circus troupe is disbanded, plans a scheme of daring thefts and has as accomplices two other circus freaks, " Hercules*" : the giant, and "the Midget," a dwarf. As a foil to his diabolical scheming, the ventriloquist assumes the guise of Mrs Grady, the keeper of an unpretentious bird shop. By selling birds of - rare value to wealthy New York resi- '. dents and delivering them to their *-| homes the trio become familiar with the houses, awl are able to execute; daring jewel thefts. Apart from the, story, the production is notable for the splendid acting which marks pieture throughout. /. The Roto-o-rangi school children will give a concert, followed by a dance, nt the Leamington Hall on Tuesday, 16th j inst. An excellent programme is assured. The proceeds will be in aid of the . school funds. . ■-.;
