ENTERTAINMENTS

'.' • "HIS. MAJESTY'S,

-, Maximo, the ,-Cuban, .continues to delight the large, audiences at His Majesty's Theatre with his remarkable feats on the wire rope. His representation of a-drunken man walking the. line is extremely clever; The delightful singing of-Mies Amy Murphy and Miss Nellie Black is a bright feature of the programme, and a splendid foil to .the other vurjis. A capital entertainment is provided by the ventriloquist, Mr. -Laurence Johnston, and other enjoyable turns aro given by Mandel and Nagel, Eloiso Taylor, the Mullaney Twins, the Xa'merts, and George Murphy, the comedy juggler. '~_-; THE KING'S.. , A picture with a most attractive story —the fight of right against might, of' humanity against greed and selfishnessportrayed by actors- of great ability, headed by such popular, artists as Anita Stewart and Barlo Williams, and culminating in a; most realistic and sensational; train wreck, ,'the greatest yet shown on the screen, "The Juggernaut," which is being presented this week at the King's Theatre, must be classed as one of the decided outstanding pictures of the year. And not only is the feature film an attractive one, it is supported by one of the best programmes of allround* merit that has been screened for 'some time'. Especially interesting and amusing is the film depicting the troubles of tho chimpanzee, "Napoleon .the Great." There will be a matinee this afternoon and also to-morrow afternoon, and the programme will be shown for the last time to-morrow (Saturday) night. : GABY DESLYS. Miss Gaby Deslys' came before the public very prominently a few years ago, when King Manoel of Portugnl was forced to abdicate the throne, and Portugal was declared a Eepublic. Since that time the beautiful and fascinating Parisian (lancer has achieved wealth and fame, • Ixithi in England and America, and though tempting-offers have been made her to come to these parts, they- "have so far failed. However,-Wellington will havo the opportunity of seeing her in a film- ;. 6tory of her life, entitled "Her Triumph," in which, assisted by her partner, Harry nicer, she will present two of her famous dances, the "Dance Deslys" and tho "Danse Des Apaches." . The film,'- which is to be screened at the King's Theatre, Will,be shown for tho first time on Monday night next. . .' EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. ','. - .Miss Tittell Brune, the popular actress, who is, well known throughout Australasia, takes the leading,role in the fascinating picture, entitled "Esther Redeemed," which'is the feature film at Everybody's Theatre this week. The strong drainatio situations are cleverly treated by Miss Brune and the other players associated with her. The Vitagraph comedydrama, "Old Good-for-Nothin'" is well received, and the "Gaumont Graphic" provides some excellent topical films. VIOLA DANA IN "GLADIOLA." Mies Viola Dana, who will be remembered fdr her artistic acting in Edison's charming dramas, "The Stoning" and "Children of Eve," plays the; principal part in "Gladiola," a drama set amidst the beautiful flowers, that tells the story of a country maiden, who married for fortune and not for love. THE EMPRESS THEATRE. The current programme, headed by the thrilling Cines* attraction, "Tho Daughter of Darkness," is being very well received. The picture portrays many .sensational incidents in-the career of a stage dancer, who was in reality a clever tcciety thief.. The battle of Wits between the woman and the detective on her trail is full of the unexpected. . The acting, is good, and the direction of tho big fire and explosion scenes has been in good hands. The world-famous Charlie Chaplin *nd 'Tatty Arbuckle" are - responsible for roars of laughter at each session. Their comedy is called "The Rounders," and portrays the adventures ,of "two genial gents, on a jag." The alw/iys interesting "Pathe Gazette," and a.n educational film dealing with "The Metallurgy of Zinc,"-are among the best of the supports. ■"'-..
