WISH WY.\NE AT HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. There was a biff demand for seats for the Wish Wynne season on the opening of the box plan at tho Bristol. It was .by sheer grand luck, and not by grand management.Mr. Ben. J. Fuller admits, he was enabled to make this engagement. It was not money that brought "Wish Wynno to Australasia, although her salary is the highest he has ever paid, and. is, he claims, as high as has ever been paid iu the Australasian theatrical world, variety or legitimate. "It was the submarines that got her for us," eaid MrFuller. "I would like to say ono thing more. My friends will know that it is not my practice to put my personal views forward, but on this occasion I shall briefly depart from this. 1 shall say this:' .1 have seen Wish Wynne. She is tho greatest artist I have ever seen. Upon that observation I am content to rest, my friends' opinion of hor after her appearance at His Majesty's-Theatre on Monday next."

"1 TRIP TO EOTOE.UA." There are largo fields of beautiful anil interesting scenic studies for the motion picture in New Zealand, tho wonderland of Kotoraa and surrounding districts being particularly suitable. An excellent and vididly realistic film has been taken recently, a great deal of which is in natural' colours, of. the liot springs, geysers, anl lakes of Eotorua, giving, it is said, a perfect view of all the show places. Such a piotuve should be popular, and has been included on.a strong and varied programme, to be shown at tho King's Theatre, commencing next Saturday, the first screening being at the matinee.

Good business is being done at the Crown Theatre nightly, and yesterday's, matinee filled the house, Tho attraction is "Carmen," a film dramatisation by the Pox Film Co. of tho ever-popular opera. The story is one that lends itself to cinema enactment, and tho very most 'is made of it by the producers. Miss Theda Bara, of the' Theatre Autoine, Paris, figures in tho title rolo with much success. The supporting films are all attractive. A second matinee will bo given to-morrow afternoon, commencing at 2.30 o'clock. NEW (MACMAHON'S) .THEATRE. Tho pictures of the recent, glove contest between Lcs D'Arcy and Dave Smith for the heavy-weight championship of Australia will commence at the New Theatre on Saturday. -Tltis picture is said to give a very excellent idea of a strenuous and interesting contest, being clear and free from flicker, enabling tho contest to be followed very closely. Smith is one of the cleverest light-heavy-weights that Australasia has known, and until his retirement a couple of years ago he held tho heavy-weight championship of tho Commonwealth. It was he who taught D'Arcy tho finer points of boxing, and when at length he was induced to emerge from his retirement he was considered to be the most likely man to stop tho youthful champion. But DAroy was too strong, and too fast and vmjful in his hitting for tho elder man. While the contest lasted, however, Smith put up a great showing, Prom tho beginning of the first round to tho knock-out of Smith in tho twelfth round, the boxing was hard, but clean. The supporting items will be of a high standard.
