MONTGOMERY’S ENTERTAINERS

The season of four nights’ entertainment, commenced by tho Montgomery Company on Wednesday night, was continued at His Majesty’s last evening, before .a most appreciative audience. Gisborno baa tyer been well patronised by entertaining companies, vaudeville and bioscope entertainments being most numerous and varied. Tho programme presented last ovening was of a varied nature —jiicturesque and comic were the films exhibited —while variety in singing and in instrumental playing was given. As on tho opening night, tho opera-drama “Parsifal” was thrown on the screen, and met with appreciation. Tho “All Blacks” in their recent visit- to Now South Wales were again reproduced, and the pictures arou6c(l keen enthusiasm. The of the footballers was well shown, with the throw-ins, freo-kioks, scrums, rushes, iiassos, and collarings. It did indeed stir the heart of tho young footballer. Tho race for tho world s rowing championship elicited keen interest and the heartiest of plaudits. One and all aro familial* with. tlio details of this race as recently won by tho New Zealander Webb, and all these, dotails were shown fully on the canvas. A splendid film evoking much admiration was that of cadets drilling. The lads moved in perfect unison, and executed figures which one would think were impossible. This is a picture which if seen by all local theatre-goers would merit their heartiest appreciation. The annual Carnival at Nice was again reproduced, and elicited much admiration. The humorous films included “A Moonlight Dream” and “Three Ha’porth of Leeks,” while a narrative of striking interest was tho picture representing “An Orphan Girl.” “An Intelligent Animal” revealed the almost human qualities of the horse, while all other films had their moral. The vaudeville part of the programme was well carried out, songs and .instrumental selections and varieties meeting with heartv approbation. To-night an entire change of programme is to he presented, among which will be the first test match between the All Blacl<6 and the Cornstalks, wherein the litter are defeated. There should be a crowded house.
