A TALE OF TWO CITIES
TOWN HALL TE AWAMUTU. The Empire Picture Company's exhibition on Tuesday evening was again well attended, and the audience enjoyed to its full the splendid programme presented. On Tuesday evening next, we are promised something very out of the ordinary in the way of. moving pictures, the management having arranged to. produce the famous pictured drama " A Tale of Two Cities" founded on Charles Dickens' well-known story of that name. This subject a very lengthy one, taking nearly an hour to show, has had a wonderfully successful run, not only in the big centres of New Zealand, but also at the London picture house. For a week it crowded the King's Theatre, Auckland, nightly, and it is described by the world's press as one of the most remarkable pictured plays ever realised. It deals, as all readers of Dickens know, with the stirring days of the French revolution, and from start to finish thrills the audience with admiration. It is not often that people living in far removed towns from the busy city centres, have such an opportunity as this affords of seeing this remarkable play enacted by some of the leading actors and actresses of the world, and the enterprise of the company in securing this great subject at big expense should meet with the encouragement it deserves. Besides this big star picture, a full programme of othar items, comic, dramatic, scenlt and topical will be shown. *
