On Wednesday, therefore, from 2.30 to 11.30 p.m., there will be a continuous performance. Tea and cakes will be served free to everyone present during the intervals. There will be only one class and the price will be 60 cents. Children and soldiers and sailors in uniform 30 cents. Here is a list of films to choose from. Ring up 1743 and let us know what you would like to see and at what time and we will try to oblige you! Charlotte in 'The Frozen Warning'; Emily Stevens in 'The Wager'; Madame Petrova in 'Extravagance'; Harold Lockwood in 'The Haunted Pajamas'; 'Sporting Life'; Norma Talmadge in 'Panthea'; Emmy Whelen [sic] in 'Vanity'; 'Julius Caesar.' And the following comedies: Billy West in 'The Pest'; 'The Slave'; 'The Millionaire'; 'The Candy Kid'; Jerry in 'The Panic' [sic] and 'Beach Nuts.' Also Christie comedies: 'Betty Wakes Up'; 'Circumstantial Evidence'; 'Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!' Cartoons: 'Col. Heeza Liar and the Pirates'; 'Farmer Al Falfa's Catastrophe'; 'Diving.' Make up your own programme and time, send them along, and we will see what we can do to meet you.
