Beebe, manager of Greater Crystal Palace, announcea that his programme will be "the best yet," and each week he succeeds in wholly fuJiilling What his advertisements claim. This week there is a. magnificent programme, in which three big films aro featured. They comprise "Risky Business," a Universal comedy, starring- the incomparably gowned Gladys Walton, "Once* a Plumber," featuring those inimitable laughter-makers, Lyons and Moran, and "The Baby Doll Bandit,"ifoaituring the almost human monkey comedian, Joe Martin. There ate a number of excellent supports, while the music of Mr A. J. Bunz's orchestra at the. evening sessions is worth going a long way t<S hear. •

GRAND THEATRE. Elaine Hammerstefm in "The Daughter Pays," and Earle Williams.in "The Purple Cypher," aro the two big; attractions at the Grand Theatre this week. •. With their numerous the same films will be screened'to-day. '" ' : '

LIBERTY THEATRE. No more delightful,entertainment than the medley of pictures and music now being offered «t the Liberty Theatre could be wished for. Lost evenirig, the theatre Tvas completely filled witlh on audience that <3id not hesitate to show its appreciation of Miss Cawie Lanceley, the , brilliant English soprano, and her "Melody Maids." Misso3 Irene Watts, pianiste and' monologue entertainer, Decile Stevens, noliniste, and Doris MiddeTton, 'cellist.

STRAND THEATRE. "The Challenge of the Law," with William Russell in the lead, holds pride of place in the fine programme now showing at the Strand Theatre. To-day the whole bill will be repeated.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. The management of "Everybody'B Theatre" has secured what should prove a recordbreaker in 'The Princo Chap," starring Thomas Meighan, and now being shown at this popoliar picture palace. The story of the Bculptpr'si romance gains, ratler than loses, in its picture setting. AnotSier attraction is Billie BuTke in "The Frisky Mrs Johnson," in which London's old musical comedy sweetheart is seen at her best. Th©r«> ; a a. fine supporting programme, to' which Everybody's Select Orchestra adds extra pleasure.

On© of the most notable' made by the J. and N. Tait theatrical firm for many years is that of Signor Antonion JTotariello, the famous Italian tenor, who arrived in Sydney a few days ago by the Oiontes, accompanied by 'his personal manager, Signor A. P. Tnria, who is well known in Australasian musical circles. The Dominion tour of Signer Notariello will commence at the beginning of next month at Wellington.
