ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. “FIXED BY GEORGE.” “Fixed by George,” featuring Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran, the picture for to night, centres round George Dare, married and frequently miserable, who has an unhappy faculty of interesting himself in matters which ought not to concern him, and Dr. Arthur Poole, a rising young physician, who specialises in nervous diseases.

TO-MORROW NIGHT. “THE FOOLISH MATRONS.” “The Foolish Matrons,” the attraction for to-morrow night, is an elaborate picturisation of Donn Byrne's novel, “The Foolish Matrons,” which ;h;as been made into a screen play un - der the direction of Maurice Tourneur and Clarence L. Brown. In mor?, than one way is the story remarkable. It reflects in an original and intensive fashion the hidden struggles of a great city, the interplay of lives, and the everyday problems that men and women face and cringe to mention, and it sets forth in telling manner the glories of God’s creation against the sordid background of man's handicraft. THE VICE-REGAL&

After a flve-tapnths season in Melbourne the Vice-Regals have returned to New Zealand to help dear away t'he germs of gloom on this side of the Tasman. This well-equipped combination of music,al comedy artists, which made such a sterling impression in this country last winter, has on this occasion been strengthened and still further, improved in all departments, and the manager, G. P. (Pat) Hanna, who is never content, insists that the company as at present constituted will hpld its own with the very best of its kind ever seen in the Dominion. On this occasion we are to have the pleasure of seeing 'once more that inimitable comedian, Claude Dampier, one of! the most laughable comedians that ever grinned across the fpotllglits. The company is due to open here bn August 29. Box plans will be available to the public at Flatt’s, where seats inay be booked without extra cost.
