ENTERTAINMENTS.

LYCEUM PICTURES. WEDNESDAY. Once again Sessue Hayakawa, the fascinating Japanese star in quasiOriental photo-drama, this time m a production of great dramatic intensity, "A Heart in Pawn,," beautifully staged and costumed. The story was specially written for the star, and, «as may be imagined, provides him with ample scope for the display of his great talent for what may be called the intense form of dramatic interpretation. The story is one" of a Japanese secret marriage. Sessue Hayakawa in the role of a Japanese student marries Secretly, and later remarries on hearing an untrue report of his wife's death. The story is vivid and strong. In addition an interesting support for Wednesday's programme, entitled "The Prince of Wale's Visit to Auckland."

ODDFELLOWS' HALL, "MISS ADVENTURE." When Robinson Crusoe was cast away on a lonely island he had at least some human company—his man Friday. A young woman recently rescued from a desolate island in the Pacific was absolutely alone in her deplorable situation for three days. But she was little the worse for her trying experience—especially as she found a loving husband in her rescuer. This young woman was Peggy Hvland. She, her island and her rescue may be seen at the Oddfellow s Hail to-night, when "Miss Adventure" will be shown for the first time. There are many tense moments lr the drama, as when there is a mutiny at sea, in which the murder oi ■\ passenger orphans a girl; when r« smuggler, opening a cask, finds concealed in it a live heiress; when the heroine, east adrift by a villainous skipper, is hurled upon a desolate island; rescue of girl from island b; yachtsman who sees her signal fire; wild pursuit by lover of heroine who is being carried off by man who seeksher fortune: sensational climax as heiress seizes wheel of speeding autoand plunges car into sea to end parsuit.
