TREAT FOR CHILDREN.

SATURDAY MORNING MATINEESWith the best of facilities for the selection, of really good programmes, Saturday morning’s matinee screenings at the Majestic and Regent Theatres for the relief of distresss hould be most popular. Admission will be free —as far as cash goes—but all are asked to bring a donation of vegetables, groceries, butter, eggs, or any similar fare. All the food will go to homes 1 where it is very much needed and in giving the parcel those who attend the theatres may be sure they are doing a good turn* that will be really appre dated. Special arrangements are being made for the procuring of programmes that will be suitable and two really good shows are promised. DUCHESS THEATRE. ••THE OUTSIDER” SHOWING. Many critics of British pictures, whilst readily admitting and praising her ability to produce comedies of a standard equal to the world’s best, have doubted this ability where drama is concerned. As if in answer to these critics, Britain has given us “The Outsider/’ now at the Duchess Theatre—a dramatic triumph, worthy to rank side by side with the greatest -creen triumphs of all time. Two new <rreen stars, in Harold Huth and Joan Barry, head the cast of the picture, and •heir work is worthy of the highest praise. The beautiful, talented, but crippled daughter of England’s forejiost surgeon, Dr. -Stiirdee, is approached by Kagatzy, an unqualified specialist, who wants to cure her. Her father, believing her incurable, hotly opposes the idea; her fiancee supports I it; and in the end she places herself ! ti Ragatzy’s hands, to fight for life and (love. The story is chock-full of every I ingredient that goes into the making •>f delightful entertainment.
