ENTERTAINMENTS

ICING'S THEATRE. Owiiiif to the grout success during tho pa.it week at the. Jung's Theatre, the. lmitiagemeiit luus decided to continue the delightful motion picture version of C. J. Dennis's hook, "The Sentimental Jlloke," for ii further six nights. This picture is without, doubt: oil'.' of (he lincst screenoil in the. Dominion. At the night session; Mr. \V. Crawford sin pi "I've Chucked l'p the I'iHi for Illy Donah." In addition will lie shown a complete change, of supporting pictures!, mid special music will he rendered by tho King's Orchestra.

"TIIM Ml Is ADO." Such its the ixipulurily of "Tho Mikado" wherever it is played that the results from a business point of view are seldom, if ever, in doubt. It will be the same, with the Wellington Amateur Operatic Society's season, which begins at the Grand Opera House to-morrow evening, and wl.l continue throughout tho succeeding week. The box plan at the Bristol already gives that assurance, ar.d. intending patrons should lose no time in attending to their hooking arrangements. IWbably "The Mikado" is tho most quaintly-conceived comic opera over written.' Its plot is designed in the most brilliant Gillxulam spirit, and inverted logic nibs shouulers cheerfully with amiable anachronisms throughout tho work. Willi Mr. A. AV. Newton as Tvoko, Mr. Herbert F. AVood at NankiI'oo, and Jli s s Helen Gard'ncr (of Dunedin) as Yuin-Yum, the cast appears to he built upon a sound foundation, and the sterling work which Mr. Tom Pollard has put in with both principals nud chorus (of sixty voices) should ensure that the spirits of the two knighted depurled responsible for the work need not be in any way perturbed.

"ONCE UPON A TlirE." Trie lairy play, "Once Upon a Time," was presented again at ti'ne Grand Opera House Inst evening by Miss Gladys Campbell. Tho entertainment, which involved many picturesque dances, was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience.
