The list of items includes: "A Martyrdom," "The Triumph of Eight," "An Eventful Elopement," "A Picture Idd," "Katchem Kate/ , and "The Pathe Gazette."

NEW THEATRE. "Trilby," Du Maurier's chef d'oeuvre, has "caught on" at the New Theatre. It will.be repeated to-day and to-nigbt. Commencing to-morrow, Messrs. JlacMahon and Donnelly will present tho Eclair Company's successful original dramagraph, "Zigoroar." The picturedeals with the extraordinary exploits of the chief of an extensive gang of thieves. "Zigomar" displays wonderful ingenuity in disguising himself, and his deeds astound the police. The loading Parisian detective, Paul Broquot, sets out to run him to earth. But, when captured, "Zigomar" exhibits surprising resourcefulness, and gives his captor the slip (at the risk of his life) when he leaps down the sido of a mountain. The management state that some gorgeous spectacular scenes are included in the picture. Theso include the Will-o'-the-wisp dance and a magnificent fanoy dress ball at the Moulin Rouge, Paris.

Part music will be a prominent feature, including a quartet for male voices, "Lovely night," two duets, a bright trio, "Queen of tho Night," and the ever-welcomo "Pilgrim's Chorus," from the third act of Wagner's "Tannhaiiser," which will be sung by a double quartet of male students, with solos by Miss F.

TINY TOW. Tiny Town will open its Wellington season at the Town Hall on Monday evening next. The Australian Entertainments Proprietary, LM-. was floated in Melbourne and Sydney by Mr. Beaumont Smith for the purpose of bringing Tiny Town to Australia. It is stated 'that in less than ten months the company has paid dividends amounting to 350 per cent. on tho original share capital. This is ;i big testimonial to the merits of the cateTteiEineut presented by the littlo people who will visit Wellington nest week. There is a charm about a performance by dainty men and women who are so small that it .is difficult to realise that tho whole show is not a dream. -.It is, in fact, , a, page torn,out of-a fairy boot m-which" the pictures have teen, imbued with life.
