Summary
Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 25, 26, 27 and 28, super-programme for four nights only. 9.15 p.m. performance, the first greatest picture of the year, 'The Barrier' from the novel by Rex Beach, in 7 parts, 8,000 feet. Owing to the enormous price we are paying for the rights to exhibit this picture, the prices of admission will be slightly increased, viz., dress circle $1.00 and first-class 50 cents. Book your seats early. In a consequence of the great length of this picture, performances will commence each evening at 9.15 p.m. sharp. Coming soon, another big production, 'The Mormon Maid' in 6 gripping parts, starring Mae Murray.
