GLOBE THEATRE.

A comfortable place this cold weather is the Globe Theatre, and when one is regaled with a first-class set of pictures, it is an extra inducement. A star feature of Monday’s programme was “The Ship Rat,” revolving round the fortunes of Jack, a celebrated rope walker, who is in love with a lady member of the profession. A rival to the lady’s love turns up in a theatrical manager, who kidnaps her. The girl is taken on board the ship, and the first clue that Jack has of her being on board is through discovering a pocket-book which had been lost by the skipper. Jack smug-

gles himself on board the boat, and discovers where the girl is hidden. After great difficulty he liberates his sweetheart in a most sensational manner. A highly-popular film was “Tim Grogan’s Foundling,” telling a tale of an American millionaire’s little daughter. Of great topical interest were the scenes depicting the Westfield fire at Otahuhu, while young and old found a vaudeville dog and monkey turn most diverting. “Mother’s' Lazy Boy” and “The Persevering Cabby” caused plenty of merriment. Another change takes place to-day.
