ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES

“The Tell-tale Photograph, ’’ a tragedy in high society, is the star film at the Royal to night: There will also be shown two very fine scenics, one of which depicts the effects ot light on Italian Takes. Altogether it is a really first-class programme. On Monday the first of the great special programmes will be screened, the star film of which is a war drama, entitled “The Fair Rebel.’’ This is a story of the American Civil War and is exceptionally interesting. It depicts great bravery on the part of the heroine and abounds in thrilling adventures. It is a picture that keeps 'the audience very interested from start to finish. It deals with tactics of modern warfare and in view of the present crisis should create more than ordinary interest. The whole of the programme is really above the usual standard and is deserving of a bumper house.

■MUNICIPAL PICTURES. The programme for to-night is one of more than ordinary attraction.

CHASE’S MINSTREL AND VAUDEVILLE COMPANY. The above company, who appear at the Town Hall on Thursday night next, are a combination much above the average seen in these parts, each member of the company having some reputation to work on in his or her special line, every one having appeared in the larger cities of the Commonwealth and the Dominion, and were specially engaged by Mr Chase for Ibis tour. The two younger members of this clever organisation seem to be able to do almost anythin' in vaudeville. They are singers, dancers, gunspinners (claiming the world’s juvenile championship as such), and very clever musicians, playing twelve different instruments. Mr Jack Chase himself is well-known as a coon singer and baton manipulator, being one time a member of the world’s famous “Mohawks” Minstrels. Chris. Hansen, another member of the company, is one of those lively comedians who generally have the audience in roars of laughter. Mr Charles Moody, another star artist, who was specially engaged from the Brennan Fuller circuit, is one of the most versatile performers at the present time in Australasia, but is just now specialising in patriotic, descriptive, and humorous songs. Msss Muriel Black, a charming balladist, is another very popular artist with this strong combination. The musical part of the programme is in the capable hands of Mr Geo. Sheffield. The box plan is now open at the Town Clerk’s office.
