ENTERTAINMENTS

•ALADDIN PANTOMIME CO.” Jazz music, latest song and dance suecess. clever comedy, excellent specialities, full chorus, ballet and orchestra, bright scenery and lovely dresses are the prominent, features of “Aladdin” Pantomime, which is to be staged for the first time in Foxton at the Town Hall on Tuesday. April 1. The company was specially selected for the N.Z. tour by A[r Stanley McKay, and is composed of the very best talent available in Australia. The main idea of the writer of the Pantomime was to create laughter and with this end in view three big comedy parts were conceived and there is never a dull moment throughout, the show. Miss Violet Elliott. Australia’s fat funny girl, as the slavey, is a scream. Miss F.lliolt. whose comedy work is reminiscent of that of Marie Lloyd, has already set the Commonwealth laughing and the management is confident that N.Z. will appreciate her just as much as Australia. Jack Dwyer as Mrs Twankeg, and Air Arthur Meredith as Almnazar, the wicked uncle are remarkably clover in their impersonations. “Aladdin” is an excellent panto., the like of which lias never been seen in Foxton. Seats may be reserved at R. Heath’s without extra charge.

“A FRIENDLY HUSBAND." Lupine Lane, who is appearing at tlic Town Hall to-night as “A Friendly Husband” says: When is a home not a home? When you forget that important message for wide —forget to wipe your boots on the mat, drop matches on the carpet, demand admittance at 2 a.m., and last, the most important of all, when mother in-law comes to stay —then, home becomes a boxing arena. However, Lupino Lane offers solutions to all these difficulties to poor suffering husbands in to-night’s five reel comedy special. Prices 9d and 1/6, children 3d and 6d.

Besides carrying one of the best plots of the year, Monday night’s big attraction, “Manslaughter,” has a east which could not be bettered. Thomas Meighan appears in the leading role; Beatrice Joy, as the arrogant society beauty, who kills a? motor cycle policeman in her mad quest for speed, comes out a changed woman. Don’t forget “Manslaughter,” at the Town Hall on Monday. ROYAL PICTURES. Did you ever notice how you will tiud yourself humming over and over again the fragment of a song that hi is lingered in your memory? It has left an impression that brings happiness as you unconsciously repeat it to yourself. And this is exactly what will happen when you .-ee "Mighty Lak a Rose” at the Royal Theatre to-night. The theme and the scenes of the play will drift back across your mind like the echo of an unforgettable song. The cast is an excellent one and the whole programme far above the average. In addition, during the screening of the big picture, Miss Bcadden will sing “Mighty Like a Rose.”

Uu Monday night the picture you have all waited for, the greatest racing picture of tile day, “Counterfeit Love,’’ will bes ereened. it is not the race alone that provides the lug punch however. It is what depends on the outcome of the race. A girl’s happiness, the honour of her family and the clearing of a brother’s name are involved. See it.
