Miss Florence Hartley, a charming mezzo-soprano, and Mr. Will Bolton, champion specialty dancer, are also well worth hearing and seoiuc. THEATRE ROYAL. Jugglers and acrobats figure largely at' the Theatre Royal, but so varied and so excellent are tho respective turns that this fact is by no means regretted.

' 1 Once again tho Town Hall was filled [ last night with a delighted audienco who 1 laughed without restraint from the start j to tho finish of tho "Smart Set's" entertainment.

Theatre, lower Hutt, and on Monday in tho Concert Chamber of tho Town Hall ones more.j ■ THE KING'S THEATRE. Some capital films are to 'bo seen at [ Hie King's, "Tho Doll," "Working up a Practice,' and "Groundless Suspicion." being of exceptional merit. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. "Tho Strength of Men," Rex Beach's romance, which has been specially written for the Vitagrapli Picturo Company, teems with romantic adventure and glorious views of wild Alaskan scenery. "Tho i Well" is a fine A.B. drama, and "Tho , Awakening," ' "Making a Dynamo." and ' other films delight all who seo them. On . Monday will bo shown for tho first timo in Wellington nn exceptionally fino picturo of "Antarctio Heroes," which is at - jiiesent arousing considerable enthusiasm . m Canada. It is tho work of Mr. H. (r. Ponting, tho official kinematographist , of tho Scott expedition, and this fact alouo should lead to crowded houses. ) THE EMPRESS THEATRE. • Tho final soreening of the sensational A.B. "fcaturo" drama "111 Diplomatic • Circles" is announced for to-day and tonight. This is a splendid story, well en- . acted, aud nicely staged.

SHORTTS' THEATRE] '■ Some capital films aro being screened at' 0 this continuous theatre, "Tho Apache , Dog's Sagacity" being a Parisian special - which illustrates the daring deeps of. a d notorious band of Apaches. "A Woman's Gratitude" and "Tho Knife", (a Pathe colour film) are amongst tho best of the other films. THE JULIUS KNIGHT SEASON. '> Local theatregoers are no doubt looking forward' with anticipation to the opportunity of witnessing the J. C. Wiliiam- •- sony' Ltd.,' production Of "Milestones," which is set down for presentation at tho Opera Houso on Thursday evening next, and judging: by the numerous inquiries at tho box office tho management anticipate that tho coming season will cclipso _ all previous records surrounding the many ~ appearances of Mr.. Julius Knight ill this city. Probably no more popular actor than Mr, Julius Knight has graced s tho Dominion 1 stage, and l ho is to be supy ported by the accomplished young Englisli actress, Miss Irene''Browns, together i' with a specially seleoted organisation forming tho J. C. Williamson, Ltd., New English Comedy Company. Described as an English drawing-room play, "Milestones" provides a ■ deliglitfully-written j story, 1 divided into tlireo acts or periods, j some of tho characters introduced in 1860 8 being met with in 1885, and again in r 1912. Thero is much pathos in tlio changes . of fato, which embrace tho three generations, and tho consequent variation of 1 modes and manners, men and women. s Tho idea of tho tiiTea generations figuring in tho narrative is suggested from ■ every point; first, tho evolution of clothes and tho spirit of tho period aro ? embodied in tho dialogue and life of tho r clinracters. The lighting, too, advances 0 from oil to electricity. Even tho music, " which conuncnces with old-time melodies, 9 progresses to "The Mikado," and ends r with "Tho Sunshine Girl." Inoludwl in k tho oast aro such liigli-ckss artists as Misses Grace No-ble, Maggie Knight, Emma Temple, Mary Goulden, Dorothy Cummin,';, Messrs. Arthur Greenaway, 7 Leslie Victor, Leonard Willey, J. Plumpton Wilson, Martin Lewis, Ronald 1 M'Leod, Victor Tatnall, and Charles f Morse. "Milestones" enjoyed tho dis- '• tinction of running for seven weeks at '• the Criterion Theatre, Sydney, and six weeks at the Theatre Royal, Melbourne, ? and it should be safo to predict a com- •' naratively triumphal season liere. Tho box plan opens at tlio Dresden on Mon- - day at 9 a.m. SUNDAY CONCERT. Tho Wellington City Band will give a ooncert at His Majesty's Theatre to-mor-tow night. Mr. Hamilton Hodges will sing "Tho Lost Chord" (with band accompaniment), and "My Songs of tho Sturdy North." Mr. Harry Pliipps, tenor, will sing "A Sailor's Grave," and "An Evening Song." Tlio principal band items Will be a tuneful selection from Gounod's. . "Faust," and Morceau (descriptivo) with' echo effects. "A Nieht in Switzerland." A silver coin collection J will bo made in aid of tho band fund. ,f ORGAN RECITAL. An organ recital will bo given in tho « Wellington Town Hall on Sunday afteri noon by D'r. W. Kington Fyile, to which . admittance will bo free. The programme comprises:—March (Crnilmant), Madrigal ' (Lemare), Prelude and Fuguo (Mendelssohn), Coiumunion (Devred), and Sonpta j (Borowski). ! THE BRIGHTEST HOPE FOR THE RHEUMATIC VICTIM IS RHEUMO. Some say "you cannot cure Rheumatism or Gout—onco in tho blood, always there." : others who have experienced the wondor--1 ful ourativo influence of Rhcumo knowbetter, and do their best to dispel tho 1 mistaken idea that Uric Acid troubles l aro incurable. Here, for example, is tho testimony of a sufforor and a fellow- ■ countryman. Mr. Mat. Crannitch, for many years proprietor of tho iomuka i Hotel, Canterbury, writes:-"For a long , time I suffered from Rheumatism, using al kinds of remedies. Hearing of RHEU- ' MO I tried it, and having taken a few . bottles. I call say that I have not felt 1 better for the past ten years. I can I ■ honestly say RHEUMO has been a great success' in my case." Hundreds of New > ■ Ze&landors linvo written in similar strain i ■ concerning RHEUMO, and what it has done for them it will do for you. No mnttor how advanced your case may l>e, ! give RHEUMO iv trial—for RHEUMO , cures uric ucid diseases—Gout, Rheuma- , tism, Sciatica, and Lumbago—whon all . elso fails .
