AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S PICTURES

A fairly large audience witnessed the usual Thursday change or pictures at His Majesty’s last night, when the films screened were of more than usual merit. “The Steps of the Throne” is no doubt a Pasquali star feature. The scenario abounds with thrilling incidents.’ The scene depicting the famous beauty actress and George Grosemith, in, the turkey trot dances is a highly amusing picture. Pathe’s London journal is full of interest and the latest happenings throughout the world. To-night “Puss in Boots” will be screened for the first time. It is a coloured' film of the famous fairy pantomime. “Puss in Boots” will also be m evidence at the matinee on Saturday at 2.30, also on Saturday night for the last time. Prices remain as usual notwithstanding the fairly large managerial expense.

THE BUTTERFLIES. Mr Jack Waller’s talented English combination, “The Butterflies” is to appear lor one night only at the town Hall, Stratford, on Wednesday next. The company, which is nearing the completion of its five months tour ot the Dominion, consists of seven artiste, all of undoubted merit. They are as follows: —Miss Cecelia Gold, burlesque actress; Miss Ada Smart, operatic soprano; Miss Marion Arrnitage, comedienne; Mr Wylie-Watson, ’cellist and light comedian; Mr Fred W. Dennett, solo pianist from the Koyal Conversatoire of Music, \ ienna; Mtr Jack Waller, violinist and comedian, and Mr E. Foster-Hine, character baritone. The company is by no means a one-artist show, rather it is a combination of “stars,” all of whom work together to make a success of the programme. Every one appears individually, and in addition all tak* their share in carrying through the concerted numbers whether it be an extract from one of the opera or one of the many sketches, burlesques or potted plays which abound in the company’s repertoire. The programme to be submitted locally will bo identical with one put on in Wellington, and among the chief features will bo Mri Dennett’s rendition of Lizst’s Ehapj sodie Hongroise No. 2, and the pre-| eentation of the inimitable burlesque, “The Blue Hungarian Band 'I raves-1 ty.” The hox plan is at Grubbs.
