AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PIGTURES. “Truth About Husbands” the social sill sta,r First National at tho Princess Theatre is delectably different; it is tho last word in piquancy, 'mere are titles that ripple in sunny, sparkling cascades of clever dialogue, while th eaetion sweeps forward with freshness and charm, stirring the spectator with tho living warmth of. the people of the story who enact tho struggle of tho upper and nether sides of society in this drama of fire. Tt shows the loyalties and loves which redeem life, and is generous and fine in j its sympathies. This photoplay will be acclaimed by thousands who have come to know tile dependable pleasure of Arthur Wing Pinero’s brilliancy. The leading roles are taken by May McAvoy and Holmes Herbert. V< hitman Bennett’s production is a lightning flash of truth. It is a drama of wives who never know; husbands who never tell ; and women who never forget. Tho second big attraction in Monday’s display is a two-reel Vitagraph comedy entitled “The Tall Guy” starring one of the world’s greatest comedians, Larry Semou. A Pa the Gazette will also' he shown on Monday night. jSTRASBURG CLOCK EXHIBITION LAST DAY. There was a good attendance at the above exhibition yesterday afternoon and night. This famous clock with its many entertaining and educational features creates the greatest interest with both young and old and lives in one’s memory for years as being ono of the mast novel and instructive amusement it is possible to witness. Intending patrons are reminded that to-day (Saturday) is tho last day of the exhibition in Hokitika, and no ono should allow this truly wonderful exhibiion to leave without visiting it. The model performs all the intricate and wondrous workings of the great original—the procession of tho twelve Apostles, the appearance of the Saviour, the crowing cock of tho tower, the visitation of Satan, arid the appearance of the grim figure of Death. These are seen together with other working figures, and are shown every quarter of an hour. Hours of showing are: Afternoons 2 till 5; evenings 7 till 10.
