ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. MY LADY’S DRESS. In “My Lady’s Dress,” which is to be shown to-night, Estelle Taylor and Harry Sothern have .the principal roles. The story is of an extravagant wife, who forces* her husband, wlio has a profitable business, to strive continually for more profit. A quarrel between them over the purchase of an expensive gown takes place, and the wife lies down to rest. While she sleeps four sequences, picturing the making of my lady’s dress, are thrown on the screen. An interesting and emotional story is unfolded, and when she awakens she has learned her lesson. As the wife embraces her husband she acknowledges how wrong she has been in her vanity. “Strange,” she remarks, “how many people must toil to make one dress,.”

ST. LEON’S CIRCUS AND ZOO.

St. Leon’s Circus will appear on the Paeroa Domain on Friday next, February 12. An interesting portion of the circus is the menagerie, which includes fine specimens of lions. A feature of the show l is* the clowns and dummies in their original humour. The whole show is bright, clever, and business-like, without any dull moments. St. Leon’s Circus has progressed with the times, for they believe in combining quality with age. Spectacle, excitement, novelty, nonsense, thrills, and skill abound. Hilarity is in a state of constant eruption. The acts are new and equal to those of the city vaudeville house. The pessimist .who says, “See one circus and you see the lot” should certainly see this one. The management spares no time or cost to pleaise their audiences. The performers'comprise real circus talent, while their acts are many and varied. Aerial acrobats, trapeze artists, wire-walkers, and trained’ animals, including dogS|, monkeys, ponies, mules, etc., and high-class dummies and. clowns. These are pme of the people and animals that contribute to the success of. a clean, bright, and wholesome entertainment, which will no doubt cause a stir in Paeroa on Friday, as in other towns on the present tour. Prices 3s and 4s. children half-price.
