ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY’S. Ills Majesty’s Theatre was again well attended last evening, when the now programme was repeated by fullers Vaudeville Company. The Harry Burgess Company provide much, enjoyment with’ their■ musical play, “'the Mamess Isle.” Entertaining items also are tliope by Pollard and Jackson, (Vince and Eva Courtenay, the Kadomas; Little Mona and Pagdeu and Stanley. Xhe programme will be repeated this evening. ■ THE DANDIES. That talented combination, the Dandies of 1020, entertained a numerous assemblage at the Town Hall concert chamber last evening. The programme is ot a most varied character and the hearty encores accorded each item is abundant evidence of tho popularity of the individual numbers of the company. Ihe programme is to be presented again this evening. THE EMPRESS. Years passed, but the gulf that had come between them onlv . seemed to widen. Miles wore traversed, with fate pulling at -the strings of happiness, un. known to them. And then finally, far away in the cold, cold stretches of the Arctic came contentment and reconciliation at last—through tho agency, of a tiny'pair of baby’s shoes. Such is the story of ‘The Great AVhite frail, in which Doris Kenyon is appearing at tho Empress Theatre all this week. The production, which is in-eight parte, was made by the Whartons, who produced "Patria,” ‘‘The Exploits of Elaine,” and other famous serials. A good supporting programme is' also shown, including “The Man of Might,” a pretty scenic and recent Gazettes. KING’S THEATRE. The superlative six-reed screen production of “The Story of Ginger Mick,” as told by his cobber, “The Sentimental Bloke,” is the main film on the bill at The King’s Theatre this week. The vast army of readers created by 0. J. Dennis, and to whom tiie Bloke, Doreen, and Ginger Mick are something more than mere characters of fiction, will welcome this second B. J. Carroll production even more warmly than they did its predecessor, the Sentimental Bloke." In. the first place the story affords greater scope for production, it introduces many new characters and the scenes and incidents in Australia are thrown into strong contrast with . the turmoil and glamour of war. “Ginger Mick" is not in any sense a war picture, it simply shows in two or three scenes the deeds and daring of the hero at Gallipoli. The story as produced by Raymond Longford is skilfully woven round tho principal characters in Dennis’s books. EA r ERYBODY’S THEATRE. "The Miracle Man" continues to draw fqll houses at Everybody's Theatre. Undoubtedly it is ono of the best pictures ever shown in Wellington. The audiences are just os enthusiastic as when tho picture started on its season here nearly three weeks ago. Tho story, deals with the moral transformation of a gang of crooks in New York under tho influence of a deaf and. Mind patriarch, who is a healer. Coming to him originally with the idea of making money out of his gift, those four products or the slums are made to realise their better selves. Thomas Meaghan, Betty Compson, Elinor Fair, and other great screen' artists interpret -this fascinating story. Miss Rosa Field gains rounds of applause for her singing of "Sweet Spirit Hear my Prayer, while the orcheeitra dispenses delightful appropriate music.
