ENTERTAINMENTS.

LYCEUM PICTURES. SATURDAY. The Artcraft special, "Stella Maris," to be screened to-morrow (Show) night is a picture worthy of public attention. This is Mary Pickford's greatest work, and shows her in the dual role of Stella Maris, the child of love, and Unity Blake, the child of hate. It is a story of infinite pathos. This year the management are giving patrons the opportunity of reserving seats, uut nr. seats will be held after the performance commences. BOY GLASS MANUFACTURER. AT FRANKLIN SHOW.

The Wonder Boy is to be seen at the Franklin Show. He is himself a huge specimen, and as such forms no mean spectacle. In addition his glass work is unrivalled in dexterity and art. The boy is able to spin, weave, blow, and manufacture glassware from raw glass tubing. The demonstration is quite different from the usual side show. It is an exhibitio'* that should appeal to school teachers for the education of their pupils from the practical point of view, and is also a valuable object lesson for adults. One of the features of his exhibition will be spinning glass. Have you ever seen glass finer than the hair of your head? This is made on a spinning wheel which revolves at the rate of 1000 revolutions a minute. This spun glass can be used for book-markers, and every lady is to. be presented, free of charge, with one of these souvenirs. The boy was educated in the art of glass manufacture in America, and after nine years' tuition he returned to Auckland. Th'j people of Pukekohe are urged not to miss this opportunity of viewing this glass manufacturing exhibition. MONKEY MOTOR RACES. A decidedly novel attraction will be displayed at the Show, in a big marquee, 70 by 40ft, opposite the secretary's office. Here Mr. T. Fox wttl give the public an opportunity of seeing four monkeys driving and racing four different cars. This novelty wai the centre of great attraction at the famous Coaey Island, and the show toured the United States with high success. In its way, besides being an absolute novelty in New Zealand, the monkey motor driving fjuaf tette is a source of peculiar interest and wonderment, also great meiriment. It may inspire confidence in the public to mention that the proprietor (Mr. T. Fox) is a very quiet, unassuming individual, free from all bombast; he just confines himself to a modest, matter of fact statement of what his show consists of, and its performances.
