"The Colonel cf the Red Hussars," being a romance of tho much-discussed Balkan States, showing the intrigue surrounding the thrones of some of the minor _ rulers of v.hose much-disturbed countries. The supporting films are of more than ordinary interest, containing as twey do many bright comedies.

A "star" attraction was added to the already good programme at the People's Picture Palace yesterday, entitled "The Great Russian Haul at Przemysl." This picture brings home to one's mind the nature of the capture ma'de by the Russians in securing this, fortified town, while the views themselves constitute some of the best war pictures jet shown in Wellington. The long and strenuous fighting of the Russian soldiers to capture Przemysl is still fresh in tho minds of everyone, and the picture faithfully portrays tho difficulties which had to be contended with by the investing army. In addition to this attraction, the programme contains "The Pirate's Revenge," "Game Shooting from an Aeroplane," and latest war views.

The fifth series of "The Adventures by Kathlyii," by tho Selig Company, entitled 'The Colonel in Chains," will also be screened. "WHO'S THE LADY?" Bright as are the comedies of the Beaumont Smith repertory, so, too, are the titles of those comedies. "Who's the Lady?'' as a title at once'conjures up possibilities of charms and wiles, mistaken _ identities, and merry happenings, while a record of long runs in London and Paris, and successful seasons in Australia give promise of much entertainment when "The Glad Eye" Company produce this farce at the Grand Opera House on Wednesday, April 28. ; All the popular members of this organisation will appear again. Miss Ethel Dane as Gobetter, a chic and piquante French actress, has her chief opportunity of the repertoire; Tom Shelford and Henry J. Ford, by the author's devices, are once again thrown much together, for on them devolves those young-men parts in which they have been so successfully associated Frank Bradley, as Tricoint-e and Linna St. Clair, as the real Madame Tricointe are fitted with parts of bourgeoise type so familiar to constant playgoers; Edward Landor as an eccentric usbt-r, and Claud Vernon as a more _ eccentric clerk, without even mentioning other members of the long and capable cast, convey in these descriptions much anticipatory fun. The box plan _ for "Who's the Lady ?" opens atthe Bristol Piano Company next Monday. SUNDAY CONCERT.
