AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

MUNICIPAL PICTURES. DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME. The final screening of the double feature programme at the Opera House will take place to-night. The star attraction is “The Life of Jack Hobbs,” the world’s most famotts batsman, while the supporting feature is “The Man Without a Heart.” Both productions are well worth seeing. COMMENCING TO-MORROW. “Marry Me” is a comedy of mistaken identity and eggs. You might ask where eggs come in. In slap-stick comedy they were used a lot and quite as many eggs are used in “Marry Mo” as in any comedy of that kind, although they are not thrown about. They serve as a background for a delightful romance. Hetty Gandy, a pretty school teacher, wrote a message on an egg for one John Smith. But be did not get it for the very good reason that it went into storage with thousands of others, and this is where the eggs come in. The mistaken identity provides all the mirth in the James Cruze Paramount picture, “Marry Me,” coming to the Opera House to-morrow. Florence Vidor and Edward Everett Horton are the featured players.

SUNDAY NIGHT CONCERT OPEBA HOUSE IN AID OF QUEEN ALEXANDRA BAND The programme for the Sunday night concert which is being organised by the Swankers’ Club is one that will appeal to all music lovers and it is confidently expected that the Opera House will be filled to the doors. The full programme will be found in another column. The Swankers’ Club feels indebted to the members of the band for services rendered on many occasions in connection with the work cn behalf of local charity. The band has never failed to assist the Swankers in any of their undertakings, and it is not surprising, therefore to find the Swankers showing their appreciation in this practical manner. The excellent programme which has been arranged is also a tribute to the band’s popularity, as every artist who was asked to assist willingly assented. It is hoped that the public will also show their appreciation of the band’s services by rolling up in large numbers on Sunday and contributing liberally to the collection.
