ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY'S. Abundant patronage was recorded at His Maesty's Theatre last evening, when the current programme by Fullers' Vaudeville Company was enthusiastically received. The chief features of the bill are the musical farce "Two Strings to Her Bow," by Tom Haverley's Revue Company, the artistic vocalisations by Signor Molinari, the sleight-of-hand feats bv Nilrola, the instrumental numbers by Alsace, and the comedy turn by the JJelavale Bros. There will be a repetiI tion this evening. KING'S THEATRE. I "Laughing Bill Hyde," which is drawing huge audiences nightly at the King's, will be finally screened to-mor-row night. TMs is one of Rex Beach's ' great out-of-door stories. After a hazardous escape from prison, "Laughing Bill Hyde" finds himself aboard ship bound for the goldfiekls. He falls in with a young surgeon, who recognises the man in Hyde, and together they set forth as "partners" for the diggings. How the sagacious Hyde secures a fortune for both of them, and incidentally, a bride for himself, forms the story of a great picture. The popular Wellington baritone, Mr Will Goudie, was well received in his two vocal items, and he was accorded an encore. The special music by the King's Grand Orchestra are additional features on this programme. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "The Eternal Sin" continues to delight huge audiences at Everybody's Theatre. This tpicture was made by the Select people, and is an adaptation for the screen of "Lucretia Borgia," the great work of Victor Hugo. The fourteenth episode of "The House of Hate" heads the supporting programme. Miss Bathie Howie-Stuart has. made herself popular, and her numbers were heartily applauded last evening. The same programme will be presented again to-day and. to-night. EMPRESS THEATRE. Crowded houses still continue the rule at the Empress Theatre, where Charlie Chaplin, is seen in a, most humorous burlesque on the grand opera "Carmen." He is assisted by his charming lady partner, Edna Purvianee. This is one of the most laughable comedies that Charlie has yet been seen in. The second attraction is one of O- Henry's stories,' "Vanity and Sables," starring Wallace Macdonald and Mildred Manning. The drama is most artistically produced, and abounds with many exciting incidents. Vocal items are rendered nightly by Mr C. Melvin.
