THE MEGALO MOTION CO. (U.S.A.) has the pleasure to announce the release of its latest triumph, a film version of the well-known nursery rhyme
Stupendous production. Genuine British classic revitalised by American methods, featuring Miss EYLASH BLACK, the ten-thousand dollar screen star.
_Short Synopsis_: Mary at home. The old farm-stead. Five hundred specially trained Sussex sheep, with genuine shepherds. Mary thinking. "What is my lamb's fleece like?" Fade out, revealing real snow, two thousand tons of which have been specially imported from Nebraska for the purpose of this unique comparison.
For the first time these lines have obtained, thanks to American enterprise, their full interpretation. See the world-voyagings of the Heroine. Watch Mary in the gilded salons of Paris and Monte Carlo, in Thibet and the South Seas, always accompanied by her pet.
N.B.: That lamb was some goer, but the film is out to beat it.
Five million dollars were spent on this unique picture-drama; but you can see it for 6d. upwards.
Released shortly. Have your local motion-manager order

_Tuesday, June 20th._--Once again the House of Lords has forestalled the Commons by its elastic procedure. During the brief recess the Empire has been stirred to its depths by the tragic death of Lord KITCHENER. Almost his last official act was to meet his critics of the House of Commons face to face, reply to their questions, and leave them silenced and admiring. Yet to-day the Commons could do no more than listen to the sympathetic messages from foreign Parliaments read out to them by the SPEAKER, and learn from the PRIME MINISTER that to-morrow he would endeavour to give expression to their feelings upon this "irreparable loss." The Lords, less fettered by formality, were able at once to pay their tribute to the great dead and to hear his praises sounded by a Statesman, a Soldier and a Friend.
