Ruffles' great masterpiece, "Her Reckoning," is the great attraction for next Mondav, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the Work- men's Theatre. A most beautiful character play of intense interest.

His friend, however, gets a hint, and arranges that the man who performs the ceremony is a real minister. His father later on appeals to him to marry a great heiress to save him*from bankruptcy. He does so and is held up on a charge of bigamy. Justice is meted out and true love ends one of the finest photo-plays ever screened.

Seeing women carrying goods from the various shops in baskets and bags takes us back 20 years or more. The bottles conveyed between the hours of six and eight p.m. are very numerous. On Monday Mr. Sam Parker, Garden City, the well-known Aberdare footballer, left for Gosport to join the R.G.A. I believe that in time to come Abercwm- boi will have a R.G.A. Battalion of its own. On Thursday last there was scarcely a window in Abercwmboi without a flag flying to welcome home Captain and Adjutant A. Rhydderch from the front, Captain Rhydderch arrived late on Thursday, and had a right royal wel- come. He is the guest of his aunt, Miss E. Davies. Private T. J.

i ABERDARE CINEMA.
ABERDARE CINEMA. NEXT WEEK: "THE BIGGER MAN" AND CHARLIE CHAPLIN. The public always wants to see some- thing new, and this craving Clarke's the Man has always endeavoured to satisfy. j Not only new as far as the title goes, but new entirely in every particular. A new thought, a new idea, something impressive in quite a new way—those are the ideals which always point out the real way to Clarke's the Man. In "The Bigger Alan," which is to be shown next Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, all these ideals are personified, for it is a beautiful story told in quite a new way. Another immense attraction is Gossel's "Day of Rest," a two-part Keystone, the latter name being quite suggestive enough that high-class enter- tainment is to be seen. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week Clarke's the Man—once again true to his promise—presents another Chaplin film. The very latest, only just re- leased, and only to be seen at the Aber- dare Cinema. Entitled "Charlie in his prehistoric part," one begins to grasp something of the extraordinary fun attached to this screaming farce. Charlie, as the prehistoric man, is simply an earthquake of boisterous laughter. Clarke's the Alan's star film for the latter part of next week is "The Final Judgement," a beautiful "metro" subject. An intense conception of a highly domesticated subject treated in a masterly style. The Saturday matinee for children will be continued.
