ENTERTAINMENTS

"THE GONDOLIERS." “Th* Gondoliers” attracted another appreciative audience last evening. The company gave a very satisfying performance, notably perhaps from a choral viewpoint. Sullivan always gave as much attention to his choruses as to his aoloe, with the result that, when well sung, they are always a delightful feature of any of the operas. The schedule of productions, for the balance of the Gilbert and Sullivan seaeon at the Grand Opera House, is now advertised in our amusement columns, and when it is noted that only two performances are allotted to such operas na "The Yeomen of the Guard,Eirates of Penzance," "lolanthe, H-M.b. Pinafore," etc., it will be realised what an opportunity Wellington theatre-goers have of hearing these works in limited time. The box plans for all Performances are now available at the Bristol, a£l lovers of Gilbert and Sullivan are advised to book early. The Mikado will be produced to-morrow evening for four nights, with a special matinee on Saturday, at which reduced rates for children and parties will apply. KING’S THEATRE. "Go and Get It" at the King's Theatre, telle of a reporter’s task in securing copy about a mystery. Ho gets tho story, assisted by charming Agnes Ayres and young Wesley Barry, but the getting of it involves a series of thrills. Tho vocalist is Miss Clarice Norman, and good music is provided by tho King's orchestra. The star item for the change of bill to-morrow will bo Constance Talinadge in "A Temperamental Wife," which is described as a tale with a moral for all jealous wives. Tho popular little star is said to have a role which will win many more admirers to her already long train. In addition to "A Tempern--1 mental Wife," a Larry Semon comedy, •'The Sportsman," will bo shown. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "The World Aflame,” at Everybody’s Theatre, is a fine film. Frank Keenan, who wrote the story, takes the leading role. There is a strong list of supporting films. "Oh Boy," the screen version of the well-known musical comedy, will be screened to-morrow, with June Caprice and Creighton Hale in the star roles. EMPRESS THEATRE. "The Last of His People,” featuring Mitchell Lewis, will be finally screened to-day. For the next week’s attraction comes "The Still Alarm." a screen interpretation of Joseph Arthur’s celebrated stage nlav by the some name. The story ie acted by an all-star cast, is melodramatic, and embraces all the romance and dramatic situations of the play. A gigantic fire scene is a feature. An eightstory factory and a mansion were burned to get the scenes, and seven fire brigades were employed fighting the flames. QUEEN’S THEATRE. "Torn Sails and Broken Mast" is symbolical of the distressed state of the village of Mwntseison in the film of the wild Welsh coast, "Torn Sails,” which opens at the Queen’s Theatre to-morrow. The film is an adaptation of the famous novel of the same name by the equally famous Welsh novelist. Allan Rnme It is a grand romance of coast and village with all the customs and traditions of Wall's to enhance the interest, while the thrills of fire and sea that in the book are more clescriptive. on the screen are terribly realistic. The cast, which is headed by th? eeventeen-year-old beauty. Marr Odette, includes Milton Rosmer and Geoff er v Kerr. May Allison is featured in "The Cheater,” which w included on the programme. The theme ef tho play, which wns written by Henry Arthur Jones, is healing by faith. The box plan is at the theatre. ODDS AND ENDS.

The company has some excellent fun-makers, and provides a most enjoyable evening’s entertainment. THE CHERNIAVSKYS. A farewell concert is to lie given by the Cherniavsky brothers at the Town Hall next Saturday, at 8 o’clock. A very interesting programme will be given.
