ENTERTAINMENTS OPERA HOUSE, i "Iolantho" was repeated for the last time by the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera • Company at the Grand Opora House last evening, and was enjoyed by a wrge audience. "THE MIKADO." Tonight the popular Japanese oomic opera, "The Mikado," will be revived. It is stated that one of the features of tho revival is the delightful manner in I which the concerted numbers are deliverod, including the famous madrigal, I "Brightly Dawns Our Wedding Day," I in which Miss Pearl Ladd, Miss Katie May, and Messrs. Edward M'Keown I and G. Villiers Arnold take part. A ■ little later the audience is, it is said, | captured by the infectious gaiety of "Here's a How De Do" bv tlie tenor, : the soprano, and Ko Ko. The quintet, ''See How the Fates their Gifts Allot" (Messrs. Wilson, Walenn, Kavanagh, ; Miss Morrison and Katie May) is ani other excellent number. The tenor. Mr. , Edward M'Keown, and Ko Ko, Mr. Charles Walenn, received a treble encore in Auckland for "The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring." Miss Pearl Ladd, who will take the part of Ynm ' j ll , to ' ni " }lt , ' s sa to be excellent, i sines the well-known number, "The Sun Whose Rays," with charm and finish. Miss Ethel Morrison has scored one of her biggest successes as Kntisha, and Mr. Edward M'Keown's . rendering of "A 'Wandering Minstrel" • is described as a feature of the production. Fhe chorus work will be a special feature of the revival. , HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Among the many interesting turns put on by the management at His Majesty's Theatre this week is that of Hose Lee Ivy, the celebrated Calirorman. comedienne. This gifted lady has received a considerable measure of support nightly. Other artists, who have appeared to advantage, aro Mr. Eddy Martyn, Miss Marie.Quintrell, and Miss Rose Lorenz. A matinee perform- , ance will be given to-day and a oomplete change of programme i 6 announced lor Monday evening. KING'S THEATRE. . . There will bo two more opportunities given to-day to patrons of the ■ King's Theatre to witness the dramai tisation of Charles Dickens's "Tho Chimes." This famous picturo will be > produced at this afternoon's matinea, and'at the evening entertainment. The splendid supporting programme, which includes a Vitagraph comedy, "Detective and the Matchmaker," will also be shown for the last time to-day. A complete change is announced for Monday evoning, when the' special attraction will be a four-reel version of Edward Peple's comedy-drama "The Spitlire," featuring Carlylc Blackwell, tho popular photo-play star. John Bunny will figure as a private in the army in another of tho new pictures. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. , The "Shadows of tho Past" will'bo repeated at Everybody's Theatre today. Among the supporting programme : are several films of interest, one of which is deserving of special mention. . It is called "Hard Cider," and introduces the well-known Keystone oomedian Charles Chaplin. "MR. BARNES OF NEW YORK." . At Everybody's Theatre, commencing t at noon on Monday, a drama from tho famed Vitagraph studios will be screen- ' od—"Mr. Barnes of Now York"—with Maurice Costello, the beauty actor, as Mr. Barnes. Few more popular books have ever been written than "Mr. Barnes of New York.", In the hands'of : the Vitagraph producers all the scenes which fascinated in the reading are. said to have been reproduced with a fidelity , that will.give enjoyment to lovers of their old favourite. The great duel scene at Ajaccio, where the vendetta starts, gives, it is said, a great thrill, and the story can be followed from tho > epilogue to the end quite readily, even if one is not conversant with the novel. The acting and production is a' special feature, and it is stated that "Barnes P of New York" is ono of tho most expensive pictures, yet screened. Its success in Australia 'was phonomenal, and tho Auckland season was a. huge draw. Tho picturo is 5000 ft. 'in. length, and takes over an hour to screon. Splendid comedies and war topicals support tho main film. . PEOPLE'S PICTURE PALACE. A stirring, drama of tlie stage portraying a dancer's remarkable schemo of', vengeance upon a faithless lover is bo-, ing produced in picture form in "Tho Dancer's' Vohgcjiico". at the Peoplo's Picture Palace. • It is an excellent production in every way, full of interest from start to • iiaish, and is simply a story of stage and Bohemian iife. "'Broncho Billy's Leap," featuring Billy Anderson,' the Essanay' actor, is another tine picture in the new programme. The remaining pictures aro well up to the high standard set by the I'.P.P. TO-NIGHT'S ORGAN RECITAL. After a silence of over a month, during which time tho organ at the Town Hall has been overhauled, the weekly recitals given by the City Organist are to be resumed this evening. This will be Mr. Page's fiftieth recital in Wellington, and the programme will give a complete list of all the works that Mr. Page has performed during his position as organist here. Ono of the most notable of Mr. Page's performances was his rendering of the whole of Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony. During tho year we havo had three recitals devoted entirely to the works of Wagner, and one to the great Belgian composer Cesar Franck. Many older works by English composers have been given, which for years have been entirely neglected by organists. Tho programme notes given cach week by the City Organist havo been much appreciated, especially when a now work was being performed. Tho work of tho City Organist has already won great appreciation, and many will doubtless look forward to tho first of this year's recitals this evening, when Mr. Pago will play works by Handel, Wagner, Tck'aikovsky, . Salome, Claussmami, Willan, and, Cesar Franck. Owing to the. fact that many peoplo tiro unable to get into the city in time for the first item of the programmo cach week, tho hour has been altered from 8 o'clock to 8.15 o'clock, which will enable many to hear the first work performed. TWO BROTHERS CURED OF INDIGESTION. BY. DR. SHELDON'S DIGESTIVE TABULES. "I am pleased to have this opportunity to tell you that I have been using Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules for some time, and I can certainly speak of them with the highest praise," writes Mr. James Norrie, Springbank, Hororata, N.Z. "I suffered severely with Indigestion, and could find nothing that would do me any pood until I tried Dr. Sheldon's Diges- . tiv<s Tabules. Since using these I haYe had the greatest relief, and consider them simply wonderful. My brothor also was tri übled in the same manner, and he tried them likowiso with the greatest success. I shall certainly recojnmend them to everyone I come across, and tell them that if they try them they will certainly never find anything better, for I consider that their action is simply wonderful, and am enthusiastic in my praiso of them." Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabnles are an. unfailing remedy for all troubles of the digestive organs, quickly curing eren the most obstinate caaes. Frica Is, .fid,
