ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE CORRICK FAMILY. TOWN HALL, TO NIGHT. That remarkably clever combi*' nation, the Corricks, who have just concluded a third tour of the world, are appearing in the Town Hall to-night, Patrons of a refined and interesting entertainment may spend an enjoyable evening at that popular place of amusement. Although presented almost entirely by one family, the entertainment will be varied, and will reach a high standard throughout, as well as being bright, novel and refined. The Corricks have won for themselves the highest praise as pleasing singers and instrumentalists. The programme will include operatic selections by the Cortlck Orchestra, aluminium organ chimes, etc., brightly interspersed with glees, comedy sketches, and trios, quart ets, and sextettes, both serious and gay. The box plan ot reserved seats is at Teviotdale’s.

FULLER’S PICTURED “THE JOCKEY OF DEATH," What purports to he and surely is one ot the most thrilling and facinating pictures ever screened will be included in the change of programme at the Town Hall tomorrow and Saturday. The story revolves round an heiress who, when a baby, was cheated out of her inheritance, and has been travelling through the country as a light-rope walker in a circus, "The Jockey of Death” is a cousin of Eida, the circus girl, and joins the troupe with the idea of being able to help her to regain possession of her estate. Intrigue upon intrigue follows, and events happen so quickly that the audience are on the tip-toe ot expectation and excitement dutiug the hour and a quarter the film lasts. Tight wire walking, a sensational escape over the roofs of houses with subsequent chase by locomotive from which escape was only obtained by a daring dive from a high bridge into the river beneath, are some of the sensations provided in this remarkable film. This production is 4.700 feet in length and is iuteusily interesting from start to finish. Another special feature of the programme is the fourth series of the famous serial picture, “The Adventures of Kathlyn” in “The Royal Slave.” After Kathlyu’s seemingly marvellous escape from “the temple of the Hon" where she became a victim of fanatical men, and was being stalked bv a hungry lion searching for prey, she is eventually sold as a slave to a man she has the deadliest hatred towards. Kathiyn’s father, Colonel Hare, is made aware of the facts of her capture and sale ; this arouses him to fury. Apart from the series values of “The Adventures of Kathlyn," the present Instalment, “The Royal Slave," will be found an enthralling number. With other items of exceptional merit.
