ENTERTAINMENTS.

CATHOLIC SOCIAL. AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS. The social and dance held in the Premier Hall last evening under the auspices of the Catholic Social Committee was an unqualified success from all points of view. Despite the unfavourable climatic conditions for dancing, there was i large attendance, and one and all spent a thoroughly enjoyable time. The floor was in fairly good order, and was occupied by about 80 couples. Music was supplied by an orchestra consisting of Misses Elsie Fitness (piano) and M. Wood (violin), and Messrs. J. G. Russell and G. Fitness (violins), and Miss Geraghty (piano), while extras were played by Miss Ivy Duncan and Mrs. J. Harriman. The duties of M's.C. were efficiently discharged by Messrs. S. Marshall, W. Short, E. Ryan and C. Neilson. Supper was provided by the ladies, and duly appreciated.

LYCEUM PICTURES.

SATURDAY;

An amusing incident in the new American-Pathe film drama, "Put up Your Hands," occurs in a miners' "Temperance Rest Room," when the heroine of the story puts on the gloves and challenges all comers to "put 'em up." The girl is one of these red-blooded daughters of a blue-blooded house, and her vitality is so overwhelming that conventions are swamped, and her aristocratic relatives are reduced to despair. Busin< ss takes her father to the wild mining West, and she gets there too by hiding herself in bis private car till it is too late to send her home. She sees plenty of life, and is the centre figure of some sensational episodes. One of the best scenes in the play is the fight for the mining claim, where the rivals for ownership get together and fight it out in the good old-fashioned way. The story suits Margaret Fisher all to the ground, and she makes an excellent red-blooded little dare-devil. The supports are topical and scenic. MONDAY—TOM MIX.

The special programme for Monday night is made up of two that are both top-hole subjects, '"lhe Slums of Wellington" is not only interesting but decidedly amusing, especially when the camera man gets amongst the Haining Street CI ows. A big Tom Mix comedydrama called "Six-shooter Andy" will piovide sensation enough for half-a-dozen programmes. THE HOCKEY BALL. TUESDAY NEXT.

A reminder is given those interested that the ball under the auspices of the Ladies' and Gents' Hockey iClubs will be held in the Premi<jr H 11 on Tuesday next. Elaborate aria:igements are complete, and present indications point to the function beinu highly successful. Tickets aie selling rapidly, and a large attendance is expected. In view of the climatic conditions, which are unfavourable for dancing,' the committee w shes to intimate that the wearing of summer attire will be permissable. Th's applies to the male fraternity, who can now attend the ball in flannels. This will probably be the final dance of the season, and to make it a success all dancing enthusiasts should make a special effort to be present.
