AMUSEMENTS.

<?— MISS ZOE BABTLEY'S CONCERT. The entertainment to be given to night by Miss Zee Bartley and party of Auckland, in aid of the Te Kuiti Congregational Church, should attract a crowded house. The programme, while including a number of high class musical items, is of a highly v»ried character, and should appeal to all sections of the public Dramatic sketches and recitations by such accomplished performers as Messrs Montague and Borradale are worth going a long way to hear, and the humorous items ere well distributed. The concluding item of the programme is a delightful oneact comedy entitled "A Busy Day," and the audience can safely count on being kept busy laughing until the curtain falls. Popular prices are charged with children admitted at half price, and the box plan is open at Mrs Macdonald's, stationer, Rora street. EMPRESS PICTURES. The change of programme for tonight will include two star films, "The Price of Jealousy," a War drama by the well known Lubin Comi pany, and the long historical drama, "A Court Intrigue," by the Nordisk Company. Baldwin, a prince of royal blood, forms an attachment to Elena, the adopted daughter of a humble optician, courting her under the name of Dr Baldwin. The scene changes; Prince Oswald 11. is dying. Baldin, his heir, is told by him of the existence of Elena, niece of the Countes3 Lentelsbacb, and his dying command is to seek her and wed her. The countess overhears him and determines to substitute for Elena her own daughter Leonie. Elena is kidnapped ,and imprisoned in an underground dungeon, but manages to find a way out by door leading out of the family vault, situated at the back of the altar, in the palace chapel, and to her astonishment she find herself confronted by the Wedding party. The shock proves too much for the scheming countess, who having told the assembly of Elena's true identity, falls back dead.
