ENTERTAINMENTS

KING'S TfIEATKE. Tho triple bill at the Kinc'e. Theatre is delightinE largo nightly. K<wimova, tio oaiiueiit Russian actress, is loatnrecl in * powerful drama entitled "Kovelation," and is remarkably effective, espocially in einotioual acting. It is claimed for Naziinova that she" takes rank with the three lending actresses ol the stage proper. In addition, there is screened another stirrine drama, "Shoes That Danced," starrinu Pauline htarke. Thia diama Seals with the underworld with a lovo Btory of delicate bcnnly. Tllie third episode of "Tho Fatal King" is also shown. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "The.Wild Cat," an cntcriainiii!,' comedydrama, ia tho principal attraction at Everybody's 'i'neatre. itiss Jackia Saundars is the heroins m tiic part of a loveable tomboy Kill, who:e'tomboy escapades are the -worry of her parentu. Tile dressings and etage settings of the "Wild Cat" are excellent. In addition to this feature is a two-reel iarce-comedy entitled "liackward Nous and Forward Daujelitors," which portrays a satire on Love ana l-iort-gdt'ES, and ie, to say the least, most laugnabie. EMPRESS THEATRE. A man who measured out justice with hie triKger-iiiiKor-such is a vary apt description of "One Shot Ross." His part is admirably played by Roy Stewart, anu the film, ivhich is ft Triangle, is now showing at the Empress Theatre. The picture should add to the reputation of Roy Stewart as a portrayer of Western characters. •. , ARTCRAFT THEATRE. The very fine pictures of the Paramount programmes ai'O attracting large audiences to the Artcraft Theatr.e, Thorn don, and this -week there is something of exceptional beauty offering in tho photoplay, "Tho Honour of His House," a drama which gives the uotablo Japanese actor, Sessue Sayakawa, an opportunity to further establish himself in European graces. It is a tenso play of the interracial marriage problem. The lighter , bioj of the programme is kept up to eta'naard hy tho anjics of thai dainty star, Ann Pennington. 'She makes much of her part in ■"Sunshine Ann."

KATHLENE MAODONELIi FAREWELL. It is probable that no more ponnlar emotional actress has visited Wellington at any tinio than Hies Kathlcne MacDonell. Miss MacDouell is announced to oommenco a farewell season at the Grand Opera House, under the J. 0. WilliamBon management, commencing on Friday next with "Outcast." Seen in a number of diversified characters in her attractive repertoire, it would appear that it remained for Miriam in "Outcast" to put the coping stone on her art. Totally dissimilar in form and diction to the delightful J-udy Abbott in "Dnddy 'Long Less," Miriam in "Outcast" -will be ranked by those -who saw the play -when produced hero some eight months ago as an equally alluring though perfectly . different impersonation. Two performances will be given of "Outcast," which will be followed by the ever-popular "Daddy - Long Legs" for two nights. Tho five nights' season is to conclude with one performance of Edward Sheldon's fine play, "Romance.". The pieces will have the added attraction of being interpreted by th<- pamo cxrrtlent company that supported Miss MacDonell nnd Mr. Charles Waldron recently, including Mesnrs. Roy Redgrave. Kenneth Brampton, Olmrles Brown. Plumpton Wilton, Bert Barton. Frank Harrourl. Frank llatherlcy, and lllssee Emmn ; Temple, Beryl Bryant. Audrey Worth. Olaricn Hnrdwickc, Amy Reynolds, and Millie- Eneler. Tho plans are now open at tho Bristol.
