ENTERTAINMENTS.

FULLER’S PICTURES. A programme of exceptional merit including two star features will be screened at the Town Hall to-night. “The Figure in Black,” is a stirring drama of mystery, love and adventure. Mrs Cluett is the possessor of many valuable gems, and, despite the warning of the house 'detective, decides to keep them in her room, in preference to depositing them in the hotel vault. During the night a mysterious figure in black enters her apartment and steals the gems, leaving Mrs Cluett bound and gagged. The following day a black cloak of a peculiar pattern is found in the maid’s room. The result is startling and makes a very interesting play. Another twopart feature is, “The Heart ol Blame,” this is a story of a wonderful violinist, who had all the technique, but who lacked the divine spirit which goes to make the great artist. The end is exciting and interesting. The supporting films are of a high standard. MONDAY —(One Night Only).

A picture that has been received with special interest wherever shown, entitled, “War is Hell,” will take pride of place in Mondays change of programme. It is indeed a very interesting story and the finale is a happy one. Other items of interest are; “Hogan’s Mussy Job,” Keystone comic ; “Making Khaki,” industrial ; “The Millinery Man,” comedy drama; “The Latest Gazette” ; “The Death Train,” drama; and “The Evolution of Percy,” comic.

“MOTHER GOOSEl” PANTOMIME. The Melbourne Argus, of March 15th, 1915, says of Stanley McKay and Co’s. Pantomime, “Mother Goose” : “Marked success attended the pantomime production at the Bijou Theatre on Saturday last by Stanley McKay and Co,” while the Melbourne Age of the same date records: “The production was a distinct success. The principals did exceedingly well —sufficiently well, in fact, to challenge comparison with those who have filled similar roles in other productions of the kind. “Mother Goose” is to be staged in Foxton at the Town Hall on Thursday next with the complete company that did such wondeiful business in Auckland a couple of weeks ago. Amongst the speciality artists engaged for the New Zealand tour of this company are the Fredo Brothers, musical comedy acrobats. The Hobart Post says of these artists ; “The Fredo Brothers were seen in a remarkable turn. Billed as musical acrobatic artists they went through a series of most difficult evolutions, the while playing violins and keeping perfect time and tune. The instruments were played by them while' almost in any position, even while somersaulting through the air. It is a wonderful act, and one which it is seldom the good fortune oi people in these parts to witness.” The Fredo Brothers are only one of many excellent features in “Mother Goose,” the box plan for which is on view at Teviotdale’s.
