ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. To-night at the Royal the very excellent programme screened last night will be repeated. The star film, “The Fair Rebel,” is of exceptional merit. For to-morrow night a particularly good programme has been obtained which should meet all tastes. The star film, “A Million in Jewels,” is an intensely dramatic Anglo-Indian story, showing the gorgeous palaces of the Erst in all their magnificence. There will also be shown the last momentous happening in ring sport “WellsCarpentier Fight,” which gives a clear and vivid idea of the Frenchman’s cyclone methods. It is interesting to note that both the principals in this encounter are now fighting with the colours in the great war. Other films are : “Gaumont Graphic,” containing the world’s latest tit-bits; “The Spring Lock,” comic ; “An Enemy’s Aid,” a'tale of love and the perils of a hunt for gold ; “Denver,” the beautiful Michigan scenic; “The Cowboy and the , Baby,” and “On the Lazy Line,” last and furious fun and a slow railway. MUNICIPAL PICTURES. The programme to be screened at the above pictures to-morrow evening is of more than ordinary attraction. The star drama, “The Golden Beetle,” is a most enthralling Anglo-Indian play crammed with exciting situations and episodes. The other items of the programme are : “Pathe Gazette,” topical; “A Real English Winter,” scenic; “ The Nurse and the Counterfeiter,” drama ; “The Construction of a Lifeboat,’ ’ industrial; “The Whirlwind Kids,” comic. CHASE’S VAUDEVILLE CO. At the Coronation Hall on Thursday evening Chase’s Mammoth Miuistrel and Vaudeville Company will make their first appearance before a Foxtou audience. The company includes some well-knowu artists and the whole performance is absolutely refined, there being no suggestion of vulgarity. The turn by Violet and Percy Chase is of exceptional merit, these two versatile performers being entirely at home with any kind of musical instrument. Chris. Hansen has a reputation as a knock-about comedian and Charles Moody, character comedian and descriptive vocalist, comes direct from a starring engagement on the Brennau-Fuller circuit. A number of the latest patriotic songs will be sung and the entertainment will close with a grand tableaux.
