The PICTURE THEATRE BEAUTIFUL
SINCE the picture screen has to a large extent taken the place of the drama, the picture theatre has been improved until it has become a thing of beauty in itself, and so an important adjunct to entertainment. A notable one in this respect is the Strand Theatre. Auckland, which is perhaps unique in the Dominion. _ Its generous proportions and artistic scheme of decoration, combined with the excellent orchestral music it provides, make, it . deservedly popular. The programmes are uniformly good, and always include a prologue, in which the setting is usually characterised by wonderful colour, Oriental, splendid, and even futuristic. There is also a social secretary, who arranges special concessions for theatre parties, and this lady keeps herself
in touch with with educational and other news of the community.
