ENTERTAINMENTS

LADIES’ HOCKEY BENEFIT TO-NIGHT. A of music, ?onp, ami tlriuna in aildition to a splendid picture entertainment is promised patrons at the Albion theatre tonight, commencing at 7.15, The music items will consist of a cornet duet by the Messrs Mbits brothers, a solo by Mr Sim Richards, and a recitation by Mr Byrne. This gentleman has had considerable stage experience with the J. C. Williamson and other leading companies, and has kindly consented to help the Lathes’ Hockey Association by giving his services. The lady singer of the evening is Mi.-s Bettendge. It is hoped that the public and especially the sporting fraternity, will rise to the occasion and thus swell the furuLs of the Ladies’ Hookey Association. For Saturday the management have had the good fortune to secure a Continental Studio drama entitled "Eternal Love.' 1 This play has for its background the Latin Quarter of Fans, the haunts of painters, sculptors, and Bohemians of the world. A story of the studios, ir tells of their love and their hates in a manner unusually dramatic. Critics speak well of the production, and pat-fins may look forward to something good and quite out of the ordinary.

CIVIC PICTURES. "BARBARY SURER TO-NIGHT." Those who have not. yet- seen the remarkable double-feature programme at the Civic Picture*, should not miss the final opportunity to-night. In "Barbtun, - Sheep.” adapted from Robert. Hichcns’ rnosl popular hook sinee "The Garden of Allah,” Miss Ferguson is given ;» vehicle that not only is particularly adapted to her capabilities, but one that oilers her a most lavishly artistic background. Under the direction of Maurice Tourneur, the well known French producer, some of the most elaborate sets ever staged for a i hope.lay are pre~ented in novel display. The romantic story of Algeria, which tells of the infatuation of an English r.oolewomaii for a dark-skinned army officer, as told on the screen, it is readily felt. will achieve greater popularity than even the book experienced. The second feature is a Paramount picture entitled "Hay-foot, Straw-foot," in which Charles Ray has the happy knack of raising laughs at the awkward ways of the country youth, and winning sympathy for the boy who is made the hum or jnses bv his thoughtless associates. A I’cscrt Horn !.- a positive scream throughout, and .a comedy too good to miss lor io morrow night the management n.is ,-ceured Torn Mix, master cowboy and .t-*r!:ng vvrvn star, in "Ace High.” Ibts a- a s'irntig story of the Canadian Konh-west. am! lias a.- a background that w du. i : c ■ 1111 fa! country and in it are those rtigged tie n. noth bad and good, of that sparsely mhamted land.

"Tin* iin.'st picture I hav** ever s'-en.’’ said Mr Joan-*. Re* \ev. Z -aland Censor, at the termination of the censorial .scrceiiintr re-ently. I’his is a great eomplmnnt from a nnm whose duty it is to see every film that eomes into tin* country. Mr Raymond l.ongiord ha.-' produced a picture whose merit even excels that of "The Sentimental Bloke.” Tlu* .Melbourne Argus say,.: Mr Bennis never sounds a note of cheap .-eniiincut. In "(’linger Mick" he uses slang :vs a ih-.-nbi-- medium of expressing deep philo-iphe-al 'ruths exciting mirth and sorrow." The six reel.- of "Ginger Mick” are packed full of humorous and pathetic touches, and are repli, re with a convincing air of humanity and truth. The companion picture to "The >ept linen! al Bloke” will be shown for the hr-* rum* at the Grand Theatre to-mor-row a? tie- mat.’tiee and for a season of ihrc* n ghi- under ire* direction of Mr E. J. Carroll. A -;* i rial musical synchronisation ha.- ■ 'emptied by Mr L. D. .Austin and till i -eacred by a full orchestra. The bo are rapidly tilling at the Bristol.
