AMUSEMENTS.

THE GRAND

ANITA STEWART, "IN OLD KENTUCKY.” Commencing at the Grand to-night, for two nights only, will be introduced the First National picture, “In Old Kentucky,” and, as produced by Marshall Keilan, it should please all tastes. In the story we find a real old-fashioned Kentucky feud, romance in abundance, a full quota of thrills, a rich vein of humour, and a delightful love story. The racing scenes, in particular, are graphic and stirring. Anita Stewart is the star, and she plays with all 'the grace and charm so natural to her in the part of Madge, a waif from the hills of “old Kentucky.” The picture is preceded by Pathe’s Gazette, and takes the full evening to screen. Reserves for to-night can be secured at Collier’s, or by theatre ’phone 1152. On Tuesday next will be shown William Farnum in Zane Grey’s famous story, “The Last of the Duanes ”

PARAMOUNT MUNICIPAL PICTURES,

“HIS OFFICIAL FIANCEE.”

The Paramount Municipal management has another specially good attraction for the Opera House tonight, namely "His Official Fiancee,” which is claimed to be a delightful story. The fact that Monica Trant, played by Miss Vivian Martin, and her supposedly cold-blooded employer are not really engaged, but merely posing as such for business reasons, makes uncle’s jokes and intimate allusjons to their future all the more embarrassing. This is one of the intensely awkward yet humorous situations in this comedydrama, which advances in , interest as the plot unfolds. The picture was adapted from the novel by Berta Ruck, and directed by Robert Vignola. The supports to the fine star picture are of the usual high standard always expected at the Paramount. There is a most laughable comedy,' “Spring,” bearing the De Haven trade-mark, and an entrancing scenic, showing “At Palm Beach and Miami Shore” in some exquisite scenery and surroundings. HORTICULTURAL SOGEETY’S SHOW. On Friday next the Wanganui Horticultural Society will hold their 1920 Summer Flower Show. There are excellent entries in the specially-catered-for classes for roses, carnations and sweet peas, so the Drill Hall will show an excellent display of floral beauty. In addition to the rose, carnation and' sweet pea classes, there are competitions open for pot plants, decorative work, cut flowers, vegetables and fruit. The generous prizes offered infallibly secure numerous entries of quality, so the Wanganui public will find the Drill Hall fragrant and pretty when they visit it on Friday.
