AMUSEMENTS AND MEETINGS

EVERYBODY’S. There was a splendid attendance last night, when an exceptionally strong and interesting series of pictures was screened. The star attraction is a Metro Wonderplay, in 5 parts. “The Wager.’” The story deals with the life of a notorious female diamond thief, known as “Diamond Daisy.” The plot is extremely clover, and furnishes some highly emotional passages and several very lino comedy touches. Aristocratic modern society is stripped bare in “The Masqueraders,” a picturisation of the play by H. A. Jones, of “The Liars” and “Hypocrites” fame. Hazel Dawn is adorable as the heroine, and the supporting cast is strong. The supporting subjects are all excellent and from the Metro studios, which fact should assure further packed houses. HIS MAJESTY’S. With two outstanding features such as Billie Burke in the opening chapter of “Gloria’s Romance,” and “Somewhere in France,” a military drama from a story by the late Richard Harding Davis, one of the ablest of American war correspondents, it was not to he wondered at, that there was a large attendance at His Majesty’s Theatre last evening. The name of Miss Billie Burke makes the beautifully produced serial story, “Lost in the Everglades,” a centre of interest. This first part introduces the audience to the leading characters in the story, which is a motion picture novel written by Mr and Mrs Richard Hughes. There are Pierpont Stafford (a New York milionaire) and his son David, Judge Freeman and his daughter Lois; Dr. Stephen Royce, who has long been in love with Lois; Lois’s ogre of a governess; any many other entertaining people. “Somewhere in Franco,” or “The Vampire Spy,” is the title of a very up-to-date war story. Miss Marie Chau monte 1, the “Vampire Spy,” serves the German Intelligence Department with great skill and cunning. The disgrace she brings on Captain Charles Ravingnac by robbing him of secret plans, drives him to suicide, but his brother Henri succeeds later in entering the German spy service to work with Marie. He is able in the end to avenge his brother by having her exposed and put out of harm’s way. The Pathe Gazette throws interesting light on many topical war subjects. Packed houses are assured for the remaining two nights. Intending patrons are advised to book seats at Upton’s Music Warehouse.

A sensation was caused in the tobacco world by the discovery that New Zealand-grown leaf contains lees nicotine than any foreign tobacco, and is one of the mildest and mart perfect Tobaccoes. Nicotine affects the heart — strong Tobaccoes with much nicotine undermine even the most robust constitution. New Zealand-grown Tobacco has no such deleterious properties. Smokers should try the new Aromatic Gold Pouch. Mixture —it is greatly superior to the earlier product, particularly in aroma. No matter how much he smokes of this delicious Tobacco, it leaves the month sweet and clean, never bites the tongue, and burns freely to the last whiff. Gold Pouch is cheaper, too — ozs. for Is. Cigarettensmokers should use the New Zealand “Three Diamonds” Tobacco; far superior to the imported brands; 2} ozs. for Is. Don’t say to your chemist “I want something for a cold.” Ask for “Nazol”—and make sure it is “Nazol” you get. Look for the name—“Nazol.”
