THE WORLD'S ENTERTAINERS

MONDAY NEXT.

Arrangements have been completed for the first appearance here of Winifred I.a France's World I ntertainers, in 'he Premier Hall, on Monday evening. Popular prices will be charged, and seats can be booked at "The Bookery." We quote a tew lines from the Manawatu Times, of November IS: "One of the best combinations of vaudeville artists that has yet graced a Palmerston North stage. That each artist scored an immediate success was evinced by the applause. The company was headed by Miss La France, a prominent Australian artist, who has gained laurels not only on the vaudeville stage, but as principal boy in pantomime, also in musical comedy. She is vivacious, has a winning manner, an attractive figure, and wears some striking costumes. She sang a number of catchy songs and gave several clever impersonations. Miss Rene Miller won instant popularity with her songs and clever conjuring turn. Mr. Charles Coupland is a lightningsketch artist of exceptional merit, his oil paintings of various scenes were excellent. Zoe, the 12-year-old boy, billed as a psychological marvel, pimply astounded the audience; his lightning calculations of mathem.".ti<problems were remarkable, and -my questions asked him are answered in rapid succession. His trance scene is the best ever seen here. The entertainment was an enjoyable one, and should draw crowded houses nightly.

LYCEUM PICTURES. A Triangle feature, "Society For Sale," with William Desmond and Gloria Swanson in the leading role, will be the principal attraction for tofmorrow (Saturday) night's screening. This should be a tip-top picture. The theme is an unusual romance of a shopgirl with money, and an aristocrat without. The story is a good, bright, and wholesome entertainment. It is out of the ordinary, has plenty of acting and no padding. The picture is well presented, and contains many scenes of splendour. The supports are Topical Budget, and a two-reel Keystone comedy.

TUESDAY NEXT.

•'MICKEY."

" Mickey" will stand out in film history as one of the real masterpieces of the times. The play is in light superlative acts lasting just over two hours, and it is claimed there is not a moment of let-un from start to finish. The song "Mickey' was inspired by Miss Normand's performance, and this will be included in the special incidental music that accompanies the picture. Those who have not already secured a seat will be wise to call at "The Bookery" and reserve one. Prices are: Adults 2fc Is 7d, plus tax. Children, 6d and Is.
