Auother big audience assembled at the T. 1 ,. Electric Cinema last evening, and greatly enjoyed the current programme. The popularity of Elinor Glynn's much-discussed work, "Three Weeks,"- , again proved itself. This remarkable story is picturisod into TiOOOft of the most remarkable situations. In the role as Queen. Sonia, Miss Madeline Traverse enacts the part with wondoriul realism, and shows this great artist's capabilities, which become the admiration oi all present.

Tomorrow's bigjChango will include "Esther .Redeemed, •'' which introduces Miss Tittell Bruno to pictures, and a fiveact World film, ''The Marked Womas. , '
