AMUSEMENTS

"THE WANDERERS."

What gives every promise ox being one of tnt most imoOi.iv.nt amusemenc enterprises yet introduced to Te Kuiti will take place at the Town Hall, Tuesday DOth inst, when we are promised a visit from Mr George Stephenson's new English attraction, "The Wanderers Musical Comedy Costume Comnany, with whom is associated the brilliant London society entertainer, Miss Phylis Hopwood-Foldi. The Wanderers, who number 15 artists, present quite a departure from the orthodox entertainments, their programmas being distinctly new, novel and refined. The box plan for the sale of seats will is open at McColls. Speaking about the company, the "Dominion," Wellington, says: Every seat in the concert room of the Town Hall was filled last evening with patrons of "The Wanderers," a musical costume company, which opened in Wellington. 'The large audience was highly appreciative throughout, demanding encores of almost all the performers. There was a note of unconventionally about the entertainment that soon brought artists and audience into happy touch with one another, and perhaps, the holiday spirit assisted the general eirect. An all-round healthy, fun-producing show was submitted. It is a wholesome class of entertainment that grows on a public. Miss Phy lis Hopwood Foldi, a monologue contributor of striking presence and happy style, was several times recalled. Mr Leslie Holmes submitted a quantity of "unmitigated nonsense," and the more he submitted the more the audience seemed to want. Mr Holmes might safely wager that in one or other of his numerous ways he could make any person in an audience laugh. Other clever artist 3 were Miss Madge Feme, Miss Ruby Guest ard Mr George W instanley. EMPIRE PICTURES. The Empire Picture Co. gave another of their delightful entertainments last Monday evening to a large and appreciative audience. Items which drew forth special applause were "The Mountain Passes of New Zealand" magnificently coloured series depicting some of the most superb scenery in New Zealand, also the pretty scenic "Yaletta." Ine dramatic subjects, "Brothers," and "Paul and Virginia," were well received, while the "Gold Necklace and "Two P>oys in Blue," two comedy dramas, caused roars of applause. "Pathe Gaeztte," "A Lunatic at Large," "Foolshead," etc., were recieved with their usual good humoured applause. \Ve are promised another startling programme on Monday evening, by the Empire Picture Go,, when they will present, among others, a stirring Indian drama entitled "The Heart of a Sioux," "The Judgment of the Mighty Deep," "How She Won Him," "The"Gold Seekers" "London's Fish Supply," "A Double Elopement," "Tweedledum and Frothy, etc. With this splendid programme, we think the Empire Picture Co. should expect a bumper house.
