ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY'S TfIEATHE. The revue business Is still boouiug at Hid Majesty'e Theatre. This week Les Bates presents hia Follies of l'leasnro, who make their bow to the Wellington nubile in "The Matinee Girl." The production is made up of a variety of songs, dances, etc., all struuK toitether in the most casual fashion. The part ol' Urn "iiatince Girl" is played by Misß Mndge Moore. The Belldays' act is still upon the programme, and it continues to aniuso the public thoroughly. "The Lady of the Falls" displays an agility nothing short of startling, and her tumbles are execute;! with a thoroughness that suggests a scorn of bruisea. Her partner is a clever hoopupinner. Two new artists are Mr. Warren Hastings (lieht tenor), and Mr. Tom Beeoo (a versatile musician and raconteur). Laurant, Clivalli. and the Bunty Oomedy Company provide their share ol the entertainment. KING'S THEATRE. Classical literature provide? excellent Rrouada for the production ol Mnematosraph films, and that famous story "Tom Brown's Schooldays," is at present beius starred at tho Kinic'e Theatre. "Tom Brown's Sohooldaye" ie not the story of ono individual, nor is it the story of a group of men, but rather the history ot British manhood in the making.. Publio school life in Encland, with its high code of moral responsibility and its love tor all that is noble in the British character, is a story that has an appeal to all tngglishtnen. A special matinee for the school children will be siren to-day at 3.15 p.m.

EVERTBODrB THEATRE. , Olive Thomas, who is the star in "iia-d----oa,p Madge," the Bta.r feature now screciiine at Evorrbody Theatre, is an actress of no meau ability. Her work is bright and clever, and 6he is possessed of a winsome personality. The etory contains several highly diverting scenes, those showing the pranks of the ffirls at a boarding school being exceptionally good. Miss Thomas reveals mauy of those fascinating mannerisms which make for popularity, and in the latter episode of. the picture she is caiially as attractive »b in tho l'ompinff tom-boy incident«. The scenes at Palm Beach arn most lavish. The items supporting the feature are well chosen. EMPEESS THEATRE. ITai-y Miloa Minter is tho eta> in "Periwinkle," tho star feature now screening at the Empress Theatre. "Periwinkle" is the tale of the lives of simple fisher folk. in an American coastal village. The heroine is a girl cast out from a wrack and cared for by Ann Scuddcr, a woman who has always lonked for eomo child to protect. The girl grows up, and is the means of uplifting a drifting American who arrives in the village. Ann Sohafer is excellent as tho devoted foster-mother, and the oharacter of the young American is well acted by Goorgc Fisher. Chapter 16 of "The Iron Olaw." entitled "The Unmaslunj of D.avy," ia alaovshown.

■ "LOOK WHO'S HERE." The Ideals, which is said to he the best company that Mr. Jack Waller has brought out, despite tho fact that fee wits responsible for The Butterflies a.ud The Eoyal Strollors, will commence a short eeaeon at tho Grand Opera Kouse next Monday, It is not a, concert company in the ordinary acceptation of the terui, for, although the .projrammes contain instrumental and vocal quartets, trios, duets, and solos, they are interaperaett with dramatio items and playlets that lend a charm and variety that is calculatod to please all tastes. Humorous items predominate, and- in the hauds of Mr. Jaok Waller, Mr. Wyllo Watson, Mr. Sydney Holliater, and Mies Cecilia Gold, they should be exceedingly amusing. The more serious portions are in the capable hauds of M. Gregory Ivanoft, the celebrated Russian violinist. Mr. Fred. Dennett, thjj brilliant pianist, Mies Adu, Smart, operatic soprano, Miss Gladys ; Bakcr, contralto, and Mr. Howard Hall, basso. The box plan is at the. Bristol.
