On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Whit-week the management will present in addition to the great star programme, The Fatal Wedding," a magnificent picturization of the great melodrama of the same name.

There will also be shown the first chapter of that magnificently at- tractive serial drama, "The Girl of Lost Island." On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week My Ma- donna is being screened. A most pathetic heart-throbbing story of in- tense interest, it grips the beholder from the start to the finish. The story of Robert the artist and his model will claim the attention of all picture-lovers. The plot is bewilderingly fascinating, and really well written. The usuarl, first class programme of comedies and comics will also be shown, in addition to the extraordinary details of Pathe's Gazette and "Exploits of Elaine."
