There was another large and appreciative audience last ~ night, and, with Mr. Stanhope in tho role ot Alike Donovan, the fun was fast ? and iurious. The entertainment will , bo repeated to-night and to-morrow night, while there will also be a mat- v inee at 2.30 p.m. to-morrow, 'ills it- ; s vue, which occupies the second half of the programme, is preceded by a capi- , tal programme of straight vaudeville. j THE VIOLETS. < The Violets increased their popular1 it.y by their new selection of items j which was presented for the first time , 011 night, and repeated last ' iiichti uefore a well-tilled house. The most popular members of the company ' are: Miss Dorothy Gard'ner, the charm- . ing comedienne, and Mr. Cuthbert Uose. the chief comedian. All the j other members of tho company ably as- - eist in making the eutortaiiwieut tlior- ' oughly enjoyable. J THE KING'S THEATRE. ! At the. King's Theatro this week tho f Misses Uish are featured in tho Ma]es- ] Ho Company's drama "The Sisters," \ while iir. Earle \\'illiams and Miss , Anita Stewart play the leading parts j ill the summer idyll "Midst Woouland j Shadows."

It is a. clever comedy-drama by the Majes- j tic Company, with Miss Dorothy Gush* i ill an important part. Tne story concorns the heir to a title, an impostor, i a slavey, and an actress. It is ail I highly amusing. Thus week's war car- i toons are particularly good also, ajid tho < uill is furtner improved by a Vitagraph ( u'aina of merit. ; MACMAHON'S THEATRE. ! ,"In Tunc With the Wild," which 1 'lieaUod tne change programme at MacMahon's Theatre yesterday, is one of '■ the big sensational Selig dramas, featuring Kathlyn Williams in another of < her animal adventures in the weird ' wilds of Central Africa. The story is intensely realistic, and to those who wonder, like Toady, how "wheels go wound." it remains an abiding mystery bow these sensations are "done." A pretty love interest leavens a theme of a specially thrilling nature. Charlie ■ Chaplin continues to conduct his "new I job" with charming aplomb, but he will 1 leave to-morrow lor "A Night Out," which will ensue early next week. On Monday a special attraction is announced in the five-act military drama 'The Ordeal," a story of love and hero- , ism, of brave parts, built around President Garfield's memorable utterance— of special interest at tho moment—"A uation is not worthy to be saved if, in f the hour of its fate, it will not gather up * all its-jewels of manhood and life, and 1 no down into the conflict, however : bloody and doubtful, resolved on mea- ' piireless ruiii or complete success." There will be the usual strong support- ' ing programme. J PEOPLE'S PICTURE PALACE. 1 Mr. William Farnum is splendid as Marcus Superbus, and it is his acting which has made "The Sign of the Cross"-so popular at the' People's Picture Palace this week. The other Darts in Wilson Barrett's great drama ' are ably played by other artists in the employ of the Famous Players' Company, and the scenery is delightfully interesting throughout. There war* crowds at almost every session yaster- i day, and tho picture is certain to have , a -big run during the remainder of the . season. J THE EMPRESS THEATRE- J The Keystone comedy "Getting Ac- £ quaiiited," with Charles Chaplin in the ' leading role, is to be shown at the Em- ' press Theatre continuous pictures for ' tho remainder of this week. "Tho 1 Warrior Maid." the tenth series of th« Selig Company's sensational wild-ani- j mal drama, was screened yesterday } with tho customary, change. Kathlyn 1 and her friends, having escaped from the amphitheatre, seek refuge at the c residence of their banker acquaintance. 1 The banker organises a revolution f against the perfidious Umballah and \ Kathlyii, garbed in an ancient war- * rior's armour suit, leads a successful 1 attack oil the palace. Umballah es- * capes, and a den of lions is opened, and 1 the raging_ beasts cause .Kathlyn and J the revolutionaries to vacate the palace. 1 Kathlyn takes refuge in a deserted ' house, with the lions in pursuit. Um- 1 ballali, having located Kathlyn, drives * tho lions away, and sets firo to the 1 building, while Kathlyn calls for help 1 from a balcony overhead. The eleventh I section of the film will be shown next Thursday. Other new items comprise * "Another Chance" (Majestic drama), "The Australian Gazette".
