ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The Staigs' sensational career round the "Globe of Death" was repeated before a. satisfactory attendance at I!is Hi-jcstya Theatre last evening. Tho act is one of the most, thrilling, and also one of the most novel that has been billed for some considerable time. Tho high-power motorcycle travels round the globe at a bewildering rate. Mounted upon it, young Staig whirls 'round tho upper half cf the globe and loons tho loop half-a-dozen times. The globe itself is a :no*t H.lfcretting contrivance, made of latticed steel. The remainder of the programme includes the names of Hgnor and Signora 51< linarl and the Bunty Comedy Company. 1™ hill ,as a whole is varied and entertaining. KING'S THEATRE. The powerful and instructive film-play "Itltb Wives" continues to run with gicnt success at the King's Theatre. It is a tale of three homes, and of tho peril which is avoided when the discontent that is b:cd of idleness is cured. The cure in JWs case is effected by a picture which the Members of the three households chance to see. "Idle Wives" is presented by a very strong company of well-known players. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. An interesting story is contained in the Triangle production "Paddy O'Ham, ><•_.:. jfs being screened this week at Everybody's Theatre. The title role is portrayed by William Desmond, who is assisted by a capable caat. In addition to this feature is a laughable Keystono comedy, "Villa oi the Movies," which is a star item in itself. An excellent picture of the Christ.church Graud National Steeplechase is also on the programme.

EMPRESS THEATRE. A World Film drama, entitled "The Crimson Dove," is the feature of the programme now being screened at tho Empress Theatre. A powerful story and a capable cast of well-known players make the picture one of special interest. Oarlylo Blackwcll portrays the part of a furling parson, and Miss June Elvidge is seen to advantage as a woman who has beon wronged. Dion Titheradge, who played in "Tho Whip," is also in the cast. The sixth episode of "The Iron Claw" is cuiitc as interesting as the previous chapters.
