AMUSEMENTS.

/ ’ “TYRANT FEAR.’’ Tlic management will present the above Paramount picture at the Theatre to-morrow night, when a large attendance is expected. It is a photoplay of the Canadian wilds, filled with unusually- strong dramatic situations, in which a girl, obsessed by fear of men, regains her soul to become at last a courageous woman.

TE KOA ENTERTAINERS. On Monday- 1 evening next at the Theatre, the To Koa Entertainers will make tlieir first appearance here in an entertainment that has -won unstinted praise from both press and public everywhere. The male members of the company- tire all returned soldiers, and in the intervals between stunts gave many entertainments “behind the lines.’’ The company' as now presented is, according to an exchange, “quite equal to any professional organisation of its class that has yet visited New Zealand, and last night’s large audience will look forward with pleasurable anticipation to a return visit from these clover entertainers. It is.no exaggeration to state that last, night’s performance afforded an evening of unalloyed plehsure to all present. Only a jaundiced mind would refuse to smile at their pranks and eccentricities and be entertained by their songs and jokes, all warranted now and without the tradi-

tional whiskers. Each performer, in solo work, is more than merely good, and in.the concerted numbers all work together most harmoniously. Truly it is a show suitable for a war weary people, and just as highly- appreciated here as it surely must have been by the Diggers in France. Hearty appreciation was almost continuous throughout the performance. The Te Koas are firmly established in popularity-, and deservedly- so. Mr Owen I’ritcharU, the chief wit. is irresistible. He made evervone laugh. He is a humourist who stands right in the front rank. His songs are good, and lie always supplements the words with inimitable drollery and facial expression and some clever “business” is introduced, but it is always clean. Space will not allow of detailed mention of all the performers; suffice it to say that one and all are capable entertainers, the combined efforts .resulting in an amazingly bright and breefy show, totally free from vul"aritv.” The box plan for the one night local visit is at Mr T. A. King’s.

THE DANDIES. Mr Edward Branscouibe’s well-known costume comedy company, ‘ ‘ The Dannies.” will, under the direction of j Mr John Hopkins, appear at the Theatre on IV ednesday. and thi> TCturn visit will mark the appearance of several new artists and the programme to be presented is composed of entirely new items which were produced for the first time during the recent V\ ellington season of five weeks The company is so well known here that ix is almost unnecessary to state what- form of entertainment they present, but In case there should be. any «t our readers w ho are unacquainted with these deter fqlk let it be mentioned that they individually and collectively present most varied programmes of Tcruesqucs, burlesques. seenas. sketches, songs, dances, operatic selections, character sketches, songs at the piano, instrumental interludes and concerted numbers, and the entertainment is one which will appeal i to all tastes, and there Is not the slightest taint of vulgarity in the whole performance. The lady members of the company include Miss Christina Andrews. a Scottish soprano: Miss Madeline Knight, the distinguished contralto; Miss Eenore Graham, a dashing English soubreite; Miss Kitty Gelh»r. pianiste. and who specialises in songs at the piano. The gentlemen of the companv are Mr Kingsley Chapman, tenor; Mr Eenn Miller, the popular basso; Mr Andrew .Pace, light comedian: Mr Noel Monkman. s brilliant young ’cc-lloi>t: and Mr Mill B. Keany. a clever character comedian aud dancer. With new artists, programing, costumes, and stage settings, “The Dandies” will, no doubt, attract large patronage. Bos plan at Mr Bang -
