ENTERTAINMENTS.

PICTURE SHOW. There is a fine programme for to - morrow night, containing various subjects. Among the dramas we find, “The Little Stowaway,” a tale of the s’utns, the sea and a rich man’s home, a poor little flower • , . • happiness to the rich liome. Another, “For His Pal’s Sake,” a drama dealing with the “Damon and Pythias” like friendship of two western men. “His Wile’s Mother,” is a splendid subject, showing how the despised ann greatly ridiculed mother-in-law, saves the little family loan ruin. The dramas are all clear and intensely interesting all through, good subjects, good morals. There is a very flue scenic entitled, “Salonica,” and another film of interest depicting ‘Studies in Fish Life.” Snap-'hots 0: recent events will be fou.i; in the “Gaumout Graphic.’ The comedies are a good lot, ‘'lrene’s Infatuation,” the way .wo girls were cured of matinee idol worship. The difference off arid on the stage is really funny and very laughable. “Outwitting Father,” this is described as one hundred laughs, Mr Armstrong is not Impressed with his daughter Jennie’s sweetheart, and orders that young man to keep away from the house. Securing a disguise he secures a position in Jennie’s father’s shop, and the scheme works well until the exposure.

MR. SCOTT-LESLIE. Mr Scott-Leslie, the gifted entertainer, who appears in the Town Hall on Friday evening, was mapped out lor nautical honours by his considerate parents. The glories of the sea did not appeal with sufficient force, however, and like many other youths both before and since his lime, Mr Scott-Leslie decided to seek another career. Mr Scott-Leslie had the unique experience of returning home on one occasion from a lengthy voyage to find his relatives mourning his demise. It happened that the ship on which he was serving occupied 259 days on the passage from San Francisco to Luglaud. As an entertainer Mr Scott-Leslie has achieved considerable distinction in Great Britain and the other countries of the world where he has appeared. In character work especially he is exceptionally versatile, while his elocutionary abilities are of a high order. Mr Oliver Farrow (an excellent baritone with a fine reputation) and the Misses L. Knight and Daisy Evans will appear tin support ot Mr Scott-Leslie.
