NORTH WARD PICTURES
A double star programme of great interest is to be screened at this theatre to-night. Marie Prevost is at her best in the characterisation of “The Jazz Bride”, which is an adaption from the famous novel ”The Flapper Wife”. The associate feature “Fast and Fearless”, depicts the popular star Buffalo Bill junr. The plot is woven around a little out-back Californian town, where men took their lives in their hands and gun-play and horsemanship meant everything. This picture screens many thrilling situations and undoubtedly holds an audience spellbound.
