ENTERTAINMENTS

"THE PINK LADY." Another successful performance of "The Pink Lady" was given before a crowded house at Hie Grand Opera House last night. The season closed last evening. Tho members of the company leave for Sydney by tho Kigoma to-day. "THE DANDTES" AND THE KENNEDY COMI'ANI. The linking up of two such artistic combinations as . Mr. Edward Dranscombo'a well-known entertainers, ' Ihe Dandies," with the Kennedy Company, should prove a strong magnet in attracting amusement seekers to the Town Hall Concert Chamber this evening. The programme to 1)0 presented consist of musical numbers from beginning to end. But tho nature of tlio music will vary considerably and will range from concerto for violin and piano and excerpts from grand opera to samples of the latest successes in revue. Comedians with humorous songs will add a leaven to the numbers submitted by the vocalists of each party who essay the more serious order of 'things. Each company comes with tho hall mark of success and appreciation from various cities, and it is said that so different are the programmes given by tho respective companies that, they present items satisfying _to all tastes. The plans are at tho Bristol. MONDAY'S MATINEE AT HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A big attraction announced for tho Peace Day holiday on Monday next is tho monster matinee which will bo held at His Majesty's Theatre in aid of the funds of tho Mothers' Help Division, Women's National Reserve.

Fuller have granted tho frco use of His Majesty's Theatre and tho services of their Vaudeville Company, which will present specially selected acts.
