TOWN HALL PICTURES.

AN ALL STAR PROGRAMME

This evening, at the Town Hall, will see the first screening of a new programme which comes with a good reputation, having been shown to crowded houses hi Auckland and Wellington. The Labia Co. presents a drama of excitement and surprises, 3000 ft in length, in two great parts, entitled "The Cypher Key." A representative is sent to South America with important papers bearing upon the building of new battleships. This representative is followed by two men, who arc to obtain these papers, by fair means or foul. They succeed in obtaining them by a murder, ous attempt on the life of the representative. His body is thrown overboard for dead, but he is picked up by a passing boat. The papers are written in cypher, aud the next thing to do is to obtain possession of the cypher code. A woman is engaged to make love to the man most likely to have it, but she falls in love with her appointed victim, and now follows some of the most exciting scenes ever shown on the screen. The battle the woman puts up to save the life of the man she loves, and to prevent the schemers' success, is an outstanding feature of this exciting drama. Another picture worth special mention is an interesting dramatic play from the Vitagraph studio, "The Worthier Man. " There is a well illustrated mor. al in this play which will appeal to all those about to marry, and may teach them to look into the aspect of a future life more keenly,. A well filled and interesting edition of the Australian Gazette, No. 254, includes—What the Stay-at-homes Can Do, Victoria's Response to the Recruiting Appeal, Scenes at Flemington. Racecourse, Cartoons of the Moment, etc. Other supporting pictures are dramas, seenics, comedies and cartoons.
