ENTERTAINMENTS

"GINGER MICK’’ TO-NIGHT. The sequel to "Tho Sentimental Bioko’ - is universally proclaimed a better and more satisfying production in every way. It is full of real life, rich, sentimem, and irresistible humour. In addition to the old favourites, the Bloke, Doreen, and Mick, the film introduces a host of new “characters,’’ which include the Bloke’s "nipper" (now six years old;, "Ginger Mick’s’’ “diner” Rose, and his aristocratic mate, Keith Trent. ’•'he scenes alternate between the capital and country districts of Gallipoli, showing the real "Ginger Mick" in action with the Anzaes. There is hardly a dry eye in the audience when "Ginger Mick” "passes out” in characteristic fashion with a “fa-g” in his mouth, and a farewell message to his sweetheart, Rose. Tho picture was passed by tho censor, who personally compliments Mr R. J. Carroll’s representative on the excellence and wholesomeness of the production. "Ginger Mick," which will appeal to children and adults alike, will be screened at the King’s to-night and each evening at 8, with matinees on Saturday and Wednesday at 2.30 sharp. Special music , full orchestra, and Mr Fraser Thomson in character sketches will accompany tho picture, which starts tonight. THE DANDIES. A large audience was attracted and delighted by the very excellent programme submitted at the Town Hall concert chamber last night by Tile Dandies of 1920. The comedian, Mr George Sherratt, has established himself as a prime favourite with Wellington concerbgoers, while the very hearty applause also accorded tho other members of the team showed how popular all the artists of this up-to-date combination have became. For tho novelty ot many of their items and for their clever topical hits The Dandies of 1920 would be hard indeed to beat. HIS,. MAJESTY’S. Both matinee and evening programmes by' Fullers' Vaudeville Company drew crowded attendances at His Majesty’s Theatre yesterday. Foremost on the bill is* tho musical play by the Harry Burgess Revue Company, which teems with tuneful vocalisations and bneezy humour. Prominently popular are the offerings by Pollard and Jackson (operatic vocalists). Miss Maggie Foster (violinist), Kadoma (Japanese Risley performer), and Little Mona, (juvenile trapezist). There will be a repetition this evening and the usual matinee is announced for to-morrow. THE EMPRESS.' “The greatest scenic background ever made," was the critical opinion on the wonderful Alaskan scenery, and untrodden snow wastes which form the background of the AVharton feature, "The Great White Trail.” It is a live story of many vicissitudes, in the days when men turned brute in their wild rush to the gold of the Klondyke. and when thousands fought their way over the icy steeps and, great flats of snow in their crazed desire for northern, gold. And all through this atmosphere of roughness a tiny pair of baby shoes tugs and strains at the hearts of a man, a woman and their child, until the sunshine of happiness comes to these who have suffered long in the shadows of sorrow. Doris Kenyon, one of the most beautiful stars in the film firmament, plays the leading role, assisted by a cast of universal excellence. The usual supporting programme will bo screened, including the last episode of “The Alan of Might.” The usual popular prices will be charged. EADBRYBODY’S THEATRE. The much-discussed “Miracle Man” will bo shown at Everybody’s Theatre to-day and the following week.. It has been found necessary to transfer this mighty production as' so many have not had a chance of seeing it. The story is a powerful picturisat.ion of George M. Cohan’s celebrated drama of flesh-and-blood men and women, sinning, struggling, loving, rising from tho underworld into the light. It is a story of losb souls found, but it is not propaganda in any sense of the word. It is not a. religious picture. Its charm i« irresistible, its passion is masterful ; ■it instils in -the* mind a new and deeper sense of kinship with humanity and a deeper understanding of the spiritual forces of existence. A brilliant orchestra of ten specially selected instruments will play the music, specially written for this great production.
