ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. At His Majesty's Theatre Maximo, the Cuban exponent of high life on the taut wire, continues to startle audiences with his astounding adeptness in the art of preserving the centre of gravity when there is 110 centre to speak of. Musically,'the feature of this week's programme is tho charming singing of Miss Amy Murphy and .Miss Nellie Black, a soprano and mezzo, who are equally happy in solo and duet work. Mr. Laurence Johnston; the clever ventriloquist, provides capital entertainment; and good turns are credited to George Murphy, the comedy juggler, Mandel and Nagel, Eloise Taylor, the Mullaney Twins, and the Lamerts. THE KING'S. The remarkable railroad drama, "The Juggernaut," is the. chief attraction in the excellent programme which is being shown this week at the King's Theatre. The drama is & vigorous and stirring story, which reaches a tremendous climax in the realistic train smash, when the engine and cars of the New York express dash through the bridge into the water below. The whole of the picture is an excellent example of the great strides made in motion-picture production. Especially good is the acting of Anita Stewart in the dual 'parts of mother, and daughter; Earle Williams as the district attorney, who fights the railway combine, and of the actor who portrays Phillip Harden, the weak cafspaw in the hands of the capitalists. "From Jungle to Trouble," the story of'"Napoleon," the almost human chimpanzee," and the other pictures shown make an excellent foil to the. feature film. There will, be a matinee each day this week. It is announced that Gaby Deslys, the celebrated Parisian danseuss, will be seen at the King's Theatre next week, in ■ a film entitled "Her Triumph," an original 6tory of the stage, a picture that should attract considerable attention, i ' . ——— ' : . EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. At Everybody's Theatre Miss Tittell Brune, a popular actress, who is well known in Wellington, is to be seen iii the leading role in' a fascinating picture, entitled "Esther Redeemed." ■ The. picture is well packed with strong dramatio situations that are admirably handled }>y Miss Brune and her clever associates. "Old Good-forNothin'" is the title of a good Vitagraph comedy-drama, which finds favour, and the" Gaumont Graphic" is always of pronounced topical interest, ' EMPRESS .THEATRE. ■ Marked / success is attending the screen, ings of the present programme, of which the star attraction is the Cines feature, "The Daughter of Darkness." This picture "*is one of the most thrilling seen lately. It is vrsll carried out, and the acting is daring and clever. Loud laughter at' all sessions denotes the' presence on the programme of the redoubtable Charlie Chaplin, in one of his. greatest successes, called "The Rounders." Charlie end Roscoe Arbuckle make "the rounds" of the hotels, and their experiences and adventures seem to vastly amuse the crowds. An educational feature of great interest is "Tlio Metallurgy of' Zinc." "Pathe's Gazette" is particularly good 'this week,'and the Lubin comedy,'"His Lordship," is worth seeing for its spontaneous humour.

"MRS. BLACK IS BACK." Next week the world-famed comedy, "Mrs. Black is- Back," by George V. Hobart, will be the, big attraction at the Empress.- The .picture ,is produced by the Famous Players Co., who secured May Irwin (said to be America's greatest comedienne) to act the name-part. The fun centres -round a widow whose age was 36, but.who'gave it to her new husband as 27. Complications ariso when her husband finds she has a son whom she had described to him ss "little Johnny," and who is bigger than he (the husband).
