The star picture for to-night's change of programme is entitled "Kathlden Mavourneen,"-a new two reel production by the Edison Co. Kathleen's fresh beauty appeals to the haughty Lord of Kavanagb, who proposes marriage, but Kathleen is loved by Terrence, a light-hearted Irish lßd. She dreams that she becomes Lady Kavanagh and the terrible revelations which come to her make her fly to the arms of Terrence. This picture will be supported by the latest Gazette, a Bunny comedy, and the usual highclass selection of dramatic and scenic subjects.

"MERRIE MEN OF SHERWOOD."

The public area again reminded of the fact that on Thursday evening in the Town Hall, the operetta "The Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest," is to be staged by the local talent qt this town. The management has spared no pains in making the stage effects appropriate and attractive, and the orchestra and performers are to be congratulated on the rapid progess thev have made under the baton of Mr A. Pattison, considering the short time they have had at their disposal for rehearsing. The public can confidently look forward to a real good evening's entertainment on Thursday, and those with reserved tickets who have not booked yet are strongly advised to do so immediately. THE GREAT McEWEN. Lauchter will reign supreme at the Town Hall, Te Kuiti, when the "Great McEwen" presents his wonderful entertainment. The master magician, mind readnr and hpynotist, the "Great MEcwen," the famous Scotch entertainer, supported by his own company, will present a varied programme to please everybody. McEwen is known the world over as the king of entertainers and the entertainer of kings, and is the world's foremost hypnotist. McEwen is the brightest firmament, the supreme adept of mental philosophy, and an entertainer who has captured the intelligent minds of the entire elobe. He will be assisted by Miss Florence Hartley, a famous American prima donno, who possesses a magnificent voice and will sing several solos during each evening; Miss Maynard, mentalist; Mr Will Bolton, artistic dancer; and Mr Cecil Long, A.L.C.M., L.L.C.M., Australia's champion pianist. '*The entertainment closes with a laughable hypnotic seance, and it is safe to say that the "Graet McEwen" Company will prove a success throughout the short season in Te Kuiti "on 27th and 29th inst.
