The excellent programme which has been shown for the last two days was considerably brightened on Saturday by the inclusion of a Wild 'West picture entitled "Tho Trapper." The film depicts a trapper going out to do his work, and whilo he is away his home is attacked by Indians, who break into Ihe ho-.ise and capture the trapper's wifo and child.

Tho fact that rinking in Wellington has "caught on" is daily evidenced at Fullers' Ulympia Rink, Vivian Street, where the three sessions arc largely patronised daily. The management are preparing several novelties, which will bo announced in due course, patrons, whether novices or experts in the fascinating art, can be assured an enjoyable time when visiting this popular resort. "THE WHIP." This morning the box plans for the first six nights of "Tho Whip" will be opened at the Dresden at nine o'clock Heavy advance booking is anticipated. The company' is spolten of as a remarkably well balanced organisation, the merit being sustained at a high standard throughout the long cast. The play lacks nothing, it is said, in animation, for horses, dogs, motor-cars, railway trains, and racehorses arc introduced into the general scheme. Of the new artists ro appear, report speaks favourably. Miss Evelyn Kerry, as the heroine (Lady Diana Sartoris),. is said to present a delightful picture, while Miss Winifred Scott is credited with a clever portraiture of the adventuress, Mrs. D'Aigular. Mr. Charles Blackball may be expected to invest Captain Sartoris, the "bad" man of the play, with more than the usual amount of interest, while Mr. Lionel Atwill as the young Earl of Brancasteris, is said to be at his best. Good work may be expected from Messrs. Charles Graham and Robert Bottomley as tho Pievereud Haslam and Alison, the jockey, respectively: The comedy with which the play is liberally endowed, is in the hands of Mr. Ambrose Manning, as Tom Lambert, together with Miss Emma Temple, as the Hon. Mrs. Beamish. Miss Fyfo Alexander will be seen as the sympathetic Myrtle Anson. "Tho Whip" ran for nine months and a half in Melbourno and Sydney, and is to bo revived in both cities at tho conclusion of the New Zealand tour. At the Opera House preparations for the production will continue night and day until the curtain rises at a quarter to eight on Thursday next.
