ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. Wesley Barry, youthful idol of screendom, has just turned seventeen But he’s as just as much a lcid as ever, as can be seen in his latest Master Picture, “The Country Kid,” showing at the Opera House to-night and to-morrow. A fun-packed, sparkling comedy-drama of three little orphans all alone in a world infested with cruel guardians. Supporting him are two infant film prodigies, “Spec” O’Donnell and “Baby” Bruce Guerin. A miserly guardian of an uncle makes trouble by packing the two younger kids off to an orphanage, forcing Ben to work for him, and then trying to buy off the farm for a song. This gives Wesley c-hance after chance to oppose his boyish honesty to the crafty wiles of the old man. In the picture are laughcreating situations of the three kids left to shift for themselves among molasses, candy and apples, and an exciting escape and chase from the orphanage, with Wesley, the hero, Interwoven in the story is a beautiful romance. “The Gum Riot” is a screamingly funny comedy starring Hank Mann. This comedy is said to cause a roar from start to finish, and should be well worth seeing. The _ Muriwai Motor Races which were held in Auckland recently will also be shown and a Patlie Gazette.
