Before opening time last night the Coronet Theatre (showing Douglas Fairbanks and an 'all comedy' list) had the 'house full' sign out. Mr. Ray evidently knows what the people want, and is getting it for them.

To the Editor S. C. M. Post – The writer thought the price of a seat in a cinema, was a luxury (and it certainly is in this Colony). At Blackpool, a velvet seat in a very up-to-date, elegant and comfortable picture house at the modest charge of six pence plus one penny war tax for '…

To the Editor S. C. M. Post – The writer believed that the complaint about 'Intolerable' is hardly fair concerning the prices of admission to see the picture. 'Intolerance' is the most expensive picture ever brought out to the Far East, but believing that the foreign…

(To the Editor, S. C. M. Post) I feel bound to reply to Unklutch's latest sneer at 'so-called super-productions.' The pictures for which the Coronet increased prices during the past twelve months were: 'Way Down East,' 'The Three Musketeers,' 'Intolerance…
