ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. “RIDERS OF VENGEANCE.” His father, mother, brothers, and bride were shot from ambush as they came out of the church after the wedding ceremony. He swore to be revenged for their deaths, and went into the desert to plan. After two years the massacre of Cheyenne Harry Carston’s family was well nign forgotten. Then there appeared a scrawled note nailed to a post in the centre of Mesquite. It contained the list of Cheyenne’s enemies, and his intention to kill them. He began at the head of the list. Gale Thurman, sheriff, was last. Then came the Girl, travelling to marry the sheriff. Fate put her in Cheyenne’s grasp. TO-MORROW NIGHT. DOUBLESTAR PROGRAMME. Dear Patrons,; —A few weeks back we screened a big super-production on a Saturday night, when we charged an extra twopence on each, adult ticket to cover the extra cost, also our ordinary Saturday’s prpgram'me, which de did not screen. Now, tomorrow night we are in a similar position, but in this instance we are not only going to screen the superproduction, but also the ordinary programme, making it one of the attractions ever presented in Paeroa. .It gives you a chance to see these big pictures on a Saturday night when they are booked to us for that night.. Remember, it only costs you twopence extra. Children’s prices as usual, so don’t miss "A Wise Fool” and “Life’s Darn Funny.”—H. B. Woods. , z THE QUALITY PERFORMERS. A large and delighted audience emerged from the Central Theatre last night, when the Quality Performers—the “Q.P.’s,” as they call themselves for short—gave a very enjoyable programme of music.and mirth. The popularity of each item was. ex-\ pressed with prolonged applause. The Q.P.’s were-well assisted by a splendid orchestra of six. The favourite with the audience appeared to be Mr Leonard Nelson, of Fuller’s fame,. and the comediani-ih-chief. His suggestions in song as to the possibilities of courting in an aeroplane, cutting two inches from the bottom of pants, and the boys of old New Zealand were as much appreciated as was his Australian humour in verse. His impersona-i tions of the uncouth Irishman, ths gum-chewing American, the canny Scot, the gesticulating Italians, the dandy Englishman, and of the rough and ready New Zealander, giving their ideas of what should be done with the Kaiser, were also very good. Other humour was well supplied by Messrs Webster, Sharratt, and Scott. Miss Hazel Fuller contributed largely to the success of the singing portion of the programme, her voice being heard at its best in the singing of “The Barcarolle” and “The Pipes p’ Pan.” There were several pretty scenes introduced throughout the evening. The costumes were well chosen, and the beauty of the scenes was considerably enhanced by the good lighting effects. '
