AMUSEMENTS.
THEATRE ROYAL. The popularity of "Tom, Dick, and Harry" as represented by the Charley's Aunt Corned} 7 Company, shows no signs of waning, and another large audience witnessed the production of the laugh-ter-provoking comedy at the Theatre Royal last night. It will bo repeated this evening and for the last time tomorrow evening. OPERA HOUSE. Another fine reception was accorded the vaudeville entertainment at the Opera House last evening, the wet weather not proving a sufficient deterrent. in keeping a large and appreciative audience. All the turns were received with much applause, but special favourites were made of Violet Trevenyon, Dora Obermaq, and Molinari. The last-namied's singing of the "Marseillaise" was most insistently encored. The fun provided by Billy Brown, the coon comedian, and" Arm {- tage and Hine, sketch artists, kept the audience in a continual state of merriment. The 4 same bill will be given tonight, and the usual weekly matinee take s place on Saturday afternoon. STRAND PICTURES. Tlie current programme at the Strand Theatre attracted large audiences at each session yesterday. The dranvatic Metro film, "The Awakening of Helena Richio," in which Miss Ethel Barrymoro is featured, has proved a stronjr draw. The comedy picture, "The 5000 Dollar Elopement,'' and the Metro Travelog are included in thcselected programme. - The mudo by the Ellwood trio is appropriate and ploasing. To-day and t/iis evening the same films will bo screened. The Strand is a continuous picture liouse, and is open daily from noon.
