ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE ROYAL ENTERTAINERS

This excellent company have .just concluded a most successful tour of Australia and the South Island and will show in Foxton to-morrow night (Friday) in the Town Hall. Theatre goers should not forget to book their seats early as the excellence of the performance is a guarantee of a packed house. Every performer is a star in his or her own particular line. Tom Te Pnni. the leading performer, has been before tlie public now for a number of years in Europe, America and Australia and has always been greeted as a star performer. Mr Te Puni has a fine sense of humour and his turn is as enjoyable as can be seen anywhere. Another highclass turn is that given by Selwyn, billed as the “Mystery Man.” This performer was once known as the “globe trotter” on account of his extensive travels. He is assisted by a mirth-provoking person, Miss Elsie Prince, who is a most charming vocalist with a brilliant personality. Messrs Ellice and Dee supply a clever number with their patter and songs. The lady’s dancing is quite above the ordinary and is a most acceptable item. Hulbert, an artist from the land of Uncle Sam, is one of those illusive people whom it is impossible to keep behind locked doors or in cells. He promises something quite out of the ordinary in his turn. The musical portion of the programme is supplied by Miss Amy Sullivan, a brilliant pianist. With such a strong offering as the above, the company should be assured of a good house. ROYAL PICTURES. “The Scarlet Car,” the Universal film play to be screened at the Royal Theatre to-night, illustrates the fact that Davis found adventure wherever he found human beings and the principal institutions of life. Herbert Rawlinson is the star in this thrilling picture. Comedy: “Pleasure before Business.”

On Friday night “One Man in a Million,” starring George Beban, is to be screened. A really smart parrot and many funny dogs are cleverly injected into this picture and all the comedy and, pathos possible are found in? kiddies and animals. Mr Beban is seen in his now familiar character role of the humble Italian whose mission on earth seems to be tjie spreading of happiness. Don’t miss seeing this very line picture. “FASCINATION.” At the Town Hall to-night picture goers will be treated to something exceptionally good in “Fascination” the eight-reel drama with Mae Murray, the dancing star' in the leading role. “Fascination” concerns the adventures which a young Spanish American encounters when she becomes fascinated by a handsome young toreador. Her plight leads to many thrilling complications. The scenes and dressing throughout this fijm are very elaborate and the adventurous story moves so fast that the whole of the action is timed to occur in one day. Not the least impressive scenes are the bullfight, and Dolores dances in a low cafe of Madrid. Prices to-night 1/- and 1/6. On Saturday the leading picture will be the Fox producion: “West of Chicago.” Prices 9d and 1/6, children 3d and 6d,
