ENTERTAINMENTS

"DICK WIUTTINGTON" PANTOJIIIIE. The J. U. Wiluauisou, Ltd., pautoniuno of "JJiek w'lnttiugtoii" will be presented lor a limited season, eoiniueiiciiin riaturuay uu.vi ai me Grand Opera itousc. it uoines wuh the best of puutouiiine credentials, anil is spoken of as boiiif; one of the best ol the many pantomimes ever stared by the big linn. Although splendidly spectacular, and unusually humorous, a neal of attraction will doubtless be found in inn many clever and novel ballets. Special mention is made of the famous ballet of "The Temptations," and the "Great War" ballet. The former is a fine moving picture of the successive tomptations which may be said to be spread as lures to the feet of the youns dud untried. No worn is spokeli, nor is any necessity to tell the tale. The War Ballet is a »ageant of equally excellent merit, that does everyone concerned infinite credit for its conception and execution. The third big ballet is "The Vogue Dance," a complete compendium ot the dresses of dilicrcnt times, and with its beautiful artistic and dainty costumes, it furnishes a brilliant embodiment of the glass of fashion and the mould of form. A great cast of principals has been eupaged., including Messrs. Arthur Stisant, Ernest Langford, WHJJnm Fullbrook, Harry Koxbury. Howard Vernon. Billy Le Brim, and Villirrs Arnold; Misses Vera l'earee, l'aulinc Bindley, Pearl Ladd, Ethel Walker, Constance Caylr-y. Maggie Dickinson and Sydney Yates. The bos plans for the first six niirhts and first matinee (Wednesday) will be opened at the Bristol this morning at 9 o'clock. EKGMSIi I'IEEKOTS.

KING'S THEATHE.

The story is superbly staged' au.i mounted, and Hubert Warwick is supported by a very strong cast. s> . EMPIiESS THEATHE. One of the most popular screen stars is June Elvirtge, and her reputation'will certainly be enhanced by her acting as the wrongfully accused wifo in "The. 'i'ejiu Case," a World drama now showing at the Empress Theatre. There are some very line dresses worn by those taking part in 'tho story. ORGAN BECITAL. I'he object of the organ recital given by Mr. ceriu.ni rage, i;itj urgauiat, is avu«edly to cultivate a taste in tne people oi liie city tor good music. Perhaps Air. I'agu has- made a seed or two to germinate, oui it is stubborn soil that he has to uli, for tnc'"cultivation" makes for hut the slowest growth, if, indeed, there is any growth at all. The number of people who caro for Mr. Page's most excellent playing of the majestic music of Cesar Franck and tho others, are few, it would seem. Last night the audieuce was nn uncommonly good one, and numbored about 15Q. The programme was, as all Mr. Page's programmes are, a testified selection of good music of varied character from the works of masters now well known to tho people who do go lo the recitals.
