De Baker' 6 living models, a talented troupe of Belgian poseurs, provide a beautiful and artistic turn 011 tlids weeli's programme at His Majesty's Theatre. Air. Alf.

The same programme will run during the remainder of the week, with a matinee on Saturday. .

THE ICING'S THEATRE. Gaby -Deslys i 3 proving as' bjg an attraction on the film as she is on the stage. The King's' Theatre was again crowded to overflowing last night, and tho matineo in the afternoon was also largely attended to witness the chic and fascinating danscuso in the story of her early struggles anil adventures, as shown in the film, "Her Triumph." The picturo is magnificently produced and staged by the "Famous Players C 0.," and Mdlle, Deslys is ably supported by an excclleut, cast,' especially worthy o£ mention being Harry Pliccr, who; both by his acting ( and dancing, aids .greatly in the success of the picture. Gaby Deslys and Harry Plicer are seen in two of the dances made famous by them, the "Dance Deslys" and the "Danso des Apaches." A unique effect that is much admired is gained when Mdlle Deslys in. miniature dances on the table, thus visualising her lover's thoughts. The hats and frocka worn by the star are. also tho envy anu admiration of the fair sex. There is a remarkablv gooß supporting programme, which, with "Her Triumph," will V shown throughout the week, and there will be a matinee daily at 2.30 p.m.

THE EMPRESS-THEATRE. The excellent programme being shown at the Empress Theatre this week lias been further strengthened by the addition of a favgurite Charlie Chaplin picture. "His Musical Career" shows the inimitable comedian at his- best, aiid' both those who h«ve previously seen the picture, and those to . whom it is new, are roused ■to hearty laughter by the quaint antics and genuine humour of the "king of screen comedians." "Mrs. Black is Back" continues to be highly appreciated by all lovers of good comedy, and Miss May, Irwin lias won a perman. ent place in the affections of Wellington's picture-patrons. A fine drama, of Western life, "The Assayer of Lone Gap," scores lieavilv with its virile storv, and the-Path" Gazette is as interesting aa usual. The programme will he shown daily from 11 a.m. all this week. .

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. Miss Viola Dana is undoubtedly splendid as "Gladiol-a," the heroine of the feature film on the current programme at Everybody's Theatre. The picture is by. the' Edison Company, and a strong sup-porting-cast has' Tesnlted in general excellence of the aoting. : In addition, the play has been photographed amid the charm of magnificent scenery, and iB full of human "interest. "Waffles in War Time" is a diverting farce, which serves as a pleasant set-off to the dramatic feature. The latest Gnumont Graphic contains interesting war news, and there is also'-an industrial film illustrating the manufactture of big gun shells.
