ENTERTAINMENTS

,' r _ ' ' "THE SLEEPING BEAUTY." J C. Williamson's pantomime, "Tho Sleeping Beauty," is drawing-, packed audiences at tho Opera House. The pantomime is admittedly one of tho best that have visited Wellington for many yeare. Lavishnesa is the keynote of. the whole production, and the gor- ' geous frocking and beautiful stage , mounting make the pantomime a riot of colour. "The Sleeping Beauty" is Hearing the close of its Wellington seaeon, and the last performance will bo given to-morrow night. There will be a matinee to-morrow. ' Yesterday tho company visited Military Hospital, and provided diversion for the "blue boys." THE KING'S. ' The King's Theatre was well filled last evening. Tho chief attraction was a Triangle comedy, "Prudence on Broadway." Olive Thomas plays the part of the demure little Quaker 'girl, and is the last word in charm and manner and appearance. The supporting items are i of the King's usual high standard. Hiss I Eileen Driscoll renders "The Quaker 'Girl," and "I Like Your Apron and ' Bonnet," and a fine programme of musio by the King's grand orchestra completes a most enjoyable evening's entertainment. The programmo will be repeated this evening, and there will be a full orchestral matinee to-morrow. EMPRESS THEATRE. The popular Irish actor-vocalist, Allan Doone, with his own company,, is now to be seen at the Empress Theatre in "The Rebel," which is proving a very .bie Uraw. -The story is of Ireland's fight for freedom in the days of 1788, and though pictorial, is of peculiar interest in these present times of stress in the Land of 'the Shamrock.,. The supporting pictures are good and include •the third episode of,the serial "Liberty," and the usual weekly "Gazette." EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. Excellent work is done by the cast in the latest Broadwest production, "A Daughter of Eve," showing at Everybody's Theatre. The picture stars two of England's' fqremo.st screen players, Violet Hopson'and Stewart.Rowe. The Miss Hopson's admirers increases with every fresh production; while Stewart Rowe is one of the handsomest men on the British screen. "A Dawhter of Eve" unfolds an interesting story, and springs a genuine surprise upon tho spectator. The photography and the mounting are admirable
