HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. There are some good "turns" on tho current programmes of vaudeville at His Mnjnsty's Theatre. Foremost oil tlio bill is George Hall, who with his stories and recitations is a most popular performer. "The Aerial Losters" give a. sensational act, Air. Fred Dyer's display of boxing exercises is well worth seeing, whilo Walkley and Binning are two. most amusing Scotch comedians. There are other artists of merit appearing. THE KING'S THEATRE. A fascinating Mary Pickford film, entitled "The Eagle's Mate," features on the current programme of pictures at the King's Theatre. The charming little picture artiste is at her best in this film, the storv is a most interesting one, while the wild scenery of tlio Eagle's eyrie is beautifully reprotpfrced The supporting subjects include some particularly fine war subjects, a John Bunny comedy, and other pictures. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "London by Day and by Night," a Sim which shows ill most interesting fashion all the spots of interest in London, together .with all the bustle and excitement of the world's greatest city, heads tlio excellent programme of films at present showing at Everybody's Theatre. "Fatty's Wine Party," a laughable Keystone farce, "In the Track of the Turk," and interesting war pictures are also included in the current programme.

On Monday a 2000 ft. Keystone comedy, ."Hushing the Scandal," which features Syd. Chaplin, brother to Charles Chaplin, the famous eccentric comedian, will be the headliaer on the new programme. "Hushing the iYandal" is said to be a scream in the way of a comedy subject. PEOPLE'S-PICTURE PALACE. A stirring old melodrama, entitled "The Ticket-of-Leave Man," was the "top-liner" on the change of programme at the People's Picture Palace yesterday. The story is of one Bob PrierJy, who visits London and meets a villainous duo, Dalton, a "crook," and Moss, a counterfeiter, and is tricked by them into passing a counterfeit £20 note. The police discover the forgery, and Bob is sentenced to four years' imprisonment. By good conduct he lessens this term to three years, and so is discharged—a ticket-of-leave man. Dalton and Moss again appear on the Rene, and make- another attempt to lead Boh astray. The tables are turned en them with a vengeance, however. Bob, vifch the, assistance of a famous detective, succeeds in effecting the arrest of the "crooks." _ A charming love story is interwoven in the main theme "of tho story. The various developments of the story were done ample justice to. Supporting this picture are some interesting filnis. The first of a series, "God's Own Country," or "New Zealand 'of To-day," showing the Southern I.akes of Otago and Southland, were particularly fine, and the next of ;)io series should be looked forward to with interest. Dramatic, scenic, and enmio subjects make up the remainder of the programme. . THE EMPRESS THEATRE. The new programme at the Empress Theatre yesterday was headed by "Tho Royal Slave," the fourth series of the Selig Company's sensational wild animal drama, "The Adventures of Katlilyn." Tile preceding chapter of the story showed now Kainlyn escaped from tho raging lion in the sacred temple. In the fourth chapter Kathlyn is seen .fleeing from-wild beasts in the jungle, leopards and_ tigers compelling her to seek refuge in a tree. There Bh'e is discovered by some pilgrims, nnd they take her captive to a slave market, where she is purchased by tho Rajah Umballah, who it was originally lured her'to India. Bruce, the American hunter, hears of Kathlyn's plight, and he follows her to the rajah's palace. Umballah tells Kathlyn that she will' now become a prisoner of his harem, and he takes her to the dungeon in which her father is imprisoned. While mocking Kathlyn's father the latter suddenly seizes the rajah by the throat, and throttles him while Bruce is coming to the rescue' of the Colonel and • Kathlyn. The film was produced in India, and includes some strange Oriental scenes. The next series of "The Adventures of Kathlyn" will appear on Thursday next. The auxiliary filriiS include a "feature" comedy by the Keystone Company, "Fatty" and Minnie He-Haw," depicting Arbuckle's exploits in the Wild West; "Jim's' Vindication" (Ellison drama); «nd "The Australian Gazette" (topical).
