ENTERTAINMENTS.

AURORA THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW NIGHT SO THIS IS LOVE. “So This is, Love” unfolds a story of a romance born in the artist’s section of lowejr, New York where, a frail youth finds an ideal for his fashion creations in a mere slip of a girl living across the way. His interest ripens into a love which, she reciprocates.., after she has been the sweetheart of a bullying, brow beating prize-fighter. The climax comes in a stirring bout between the fighter and the dressmaker, who einters the ring as an eleventh-hour substitute. THE DEVIL DANCER. The; idea of the story of “The Devil Dancer,” briefly, is that of &n English girl, taken by the Black Lamas of Tibet when a baby, is raised in the cloister halls of a devil temple. Of. Eng.lisjh blood, yet Tibetan in manner, she is neither, but a strange, exotic figure. Suddenly a man comes into, her. life, an Englishman, and he carries, lier a.way from the temple. Then follows tlie dramatic, unfolding of her temperament against the colourful background of India and an AngloIndian settlement. PERRY BROS’. CIRCUS. PAEROA, NEXT SATURDAY.

“There is, something about a circus that appeals to all, young or old,” states the Christchurch Press, commenting on Perry Bros’. Circus, which will be in Paeroa on Saturday next. “In a programme that was so varied and excellent it would be hard to differentiate and impossible to mention all the turns, but perhaps the best wa.s provided by the five; Perrys i’ l their. springboard and flying aerobatic act. Their dexterity, strength, and agility were something to wonder at. The Lorenzes, billed as ‘mid-air flying trapeze artists,’ put on a sensational and. exbremqly thrilling turn. A double-twist somersault: in mid-air by Daphne Lorenze was one of th© features of this turn. The. Archei trotupe did some extraordinary balancing with the aid of long nic.kel poles. Alberto se;emed as much at home on, the tight wire as on the ground. His act won him much well-deserved applause. Le Henri did some excellent, bare-back riding, as also did Charles Inmore with an assistant and four horses. The; Sahara troupe staged a Y<ery clever tumbling, and acrobatic act, and the Three Widgeans hung by their teeth while spinning in the air. More wonderful even than the above turns werq those, put on by the animftl performers. The intelligence of Novello’s Posing Dogs was marvellous, while there wqre also performing ponies, ele-. phants, and. lions. With the circus there is an excellent zoo containing many fine specimens of wild animals.”'
