CINEMA NOTES.
THE CORONET,
The picture at the Coronet Theatre this alicencon is "The Moon of Israel” which has been drawing crowded housed. during the past few days. "The Moon
isract"
the screen version of Sir H. Rider Haggard's famous novel, and it is beyond all question a masterpiece of filming. Indeed it is safe to say that the massive splendour of the settings, which portray the wonders of ancient Egypt with amazing realism, has never been excelled.
THE STAR.
Saturday, which is always a special occasion for cinema-goers, finds the Star Theatre showing & picture excellently suited for the week-end. This is "Ladies If the title is intriping. Must
Live," the picture itself is even more intriguing. That being so it would be unfair to io- dicate the story bere. Suffice it to say then that Ladies Must Live" is a pic tare of unusual charm adapted from a Saturday Evening Post serial.

QUEEN'S THEATRE.
