TiiO new premises of the London City and Mid- land Bank and the Metropolitan Bank (amal- gamated), which are to bo opened next Alonday, are a decided acquisition to the town, being situated in a commanding position, opposite the Masonic Hall. The Bank had temporary build- ings in Bank-place, but after amalgamation with tho Mc-tropolitan Bati, who, for many years, had a branch in HigliCtreet, it became necessary to have more commodious piomiSKje, and for this puirpofn leased the residence of the Late Dr. Grey Edwards. Both the temporary bank premisea of tho London City and Alid'.and Bank tuicl. the cornier house have been reconstructed internally and converted i.nto n.iinebank premises with an imposing facade. The contract, amounting to over JSSOOO, has been carrLed out from the designs of Aleesre Woolfall aud F.cclc^, architects, Liver- pool, by Messrs Watkin Jones and Son, Bangor, who are to be complimented on the excellent and substantial cliaracfcer of their work. The large en- trance hall, to which admission is gained through a massi ve limestone portico, is paved with white and black marbie slabs.

An All British Fi,Iil". -"On the Banks of Allan Water," a dramat.-sation of the famous Bong, 1he attraction for the first half 0; tho week, and added interest was given the picture by the Oalhediral Quartette s i,inging the air. For tho rest of tho week there is the new Patho Gold Rooster Photo- play, "Sunshine and Shadows." Amc-no-st t.ho few out British films of the. year, "East is East," from the play by Philip Hubbard aud Gwendolen Lagan, will hold a prominaiut place. It is a veri- table Cockney rom^we, much on tho lines of Chevalier's 4-clightftil "My Old Dutch film, and owes it' ttucccss to its amusmg, sympa- thetio and human qualitiea. As Victoria Vickers. a poor little East, Ender," whose stockings are of an open work that comes of lon.g wear, Florence Turner is simply great; while Henry Edwards, as Bert Grum- met, her coster pal, who eventually becomes a wealthy man and proprietor of Grummet's Fried Fish Emporium, has a part in which the evidently revels. lkJth these famoue ar- tistes aro particular favourites in Bangor, and big business is assured at the County for tho first half of the week during which "East is East" will be screened. "Typhoon," which' is the star film for the latter half of the week, is based upon the famous play of the same name in which the lato Laurenc-o Irving created a deep im- pression. It is a study in the wonderful, self-sacrificing fervour dt Japanese patri- otism. ar.d snows the astounding lengths to which our Japanese Allies are prepared, to go for tfte sake of their fatherland. The story is that of a brilliant young Jap- anese stationed in Paris. He is enga,ged on an important and confidential work, but be- comes entangled in the toils of a charming actres-4. All;' effortg ■ ) diientangle llim actress All efforts him are in vain, and eventually the youth murders fit,, enahantrerfs. His superiors are anxious about the work in which he is engaged. They fear that, in the event of his arrest, nobody elsf could complete it, and the country would suffer. Another Japanese youth, for the sake i- of hk country, assumes the guilt. In spite 1 of the real culprit's protests, he is brought to trial, and courageously pays tho terrible penalty at the hands of th.o -headsman,—" for the honour and glory of Japan." The picture is extToimely powerful and thrilling, and is acted almost entirely by a brilliant cast of Japanese stars." THE PICT U R EDR.O M E. I "Tll,o Black Jxahid, starring that daring actress Kathleen Williams. provided a strong bill for the initial half of the week, and there was also shown the sixth episode of the serial Mary Page." For the week-end there is "Called to the Front," a military drama with a Ine patriotic atmosphere. In thea^ stir- ring times films of this character should prove a disunct- draw, but there are also several other items in the programme, iu- eluding tho sixtlh episode of "The Red Circle." It is now a rogue with film producers to qhow pictures founded on famous songs. Engross- mg fctories are woven round the immortal words of such ballads as "Annie Laurie," which is the tiltie of the film to be shown next Monday and the two following evenings. For the rest of tho week there will bo projected "Lord Chirmley," a revelation in dramatic art, and the two serials will also figure in the programme. On Friday there is to be a change in tho single-reel comedies and dramas. THE PALACE. I The stellar attraction this WIOOk has been I "On Dangerous Pa^hs," a foonvpairt Edison I I prodnotion. Thia picture teaohes a fine moral I-emon. It tells the i&Atory of a young woman, tired of the quietude and tranquility of ooun- try life, who determines to win fame and fortune in one of the large American cities, and scorns the honest love of a villager. She obtains a situation :in a town hospital, cx- periences many strange adventures, and to her delight the medical officer of the hospital falls in love with her, a.t lca«t she thinks go. 8J1..e is, however, disillusioned and is rcsoued-in tlie nick of time by her old lover who rem,iTKd true, to ter. Tho fun of tho programme ia rzovided by "Art and Arthur," which affords one a glimpse of Bohemia— the land of art and love. It is a very amus- ing piotltro and stars Hugh BenIliCItt: Lucilln Ward, and Oirrel Humphrey. Similarly good fare is promised for next week.
