HACCAR'S, MOUNTAIN ASH. Next Week, The Shepherd Lassie of Argyle., A most entertaining programme is set forth by Mr. Bert Richards for the patrons of Haggar's Cinema. This day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, a great Vitagraph success is being screened. The Wheels of Justice is a wonderful production, and- jumped into popular favour from the moment of its release. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week Miss Florence Turner, remembered so Nyell as appearing in "The Welsh Singer," is appearing in a beautiful Scottish drama, The Shepherd Lassie of Ar- gylè." It is a picture that Miss Turner has made famous, and it throbs with true human interest. She is seen at her best and makes a most charm- ing and fascinating heroine. Mr Rich- ards has also plenty of humourous and comedy pictures. The greatest picture of the year, "An American's Home," is announced as coming shortly.
