AMUSEMENTS.

THE ELLWOOD TRIO

' So muck has been read and'heard regarding the wonderful musical gifts bestowed' by nature on these clever young New Zealanders, that the following from a Wellington paper may prove interesting:—The Eilwood Trio gave their second concert at the Town Had (.Co. cert. Cham beu las; evening before a large audience. Master George Eilwood, whose mastery of the ’cello gives abundant promise ox future distinction, appeared to be the special favorite. His items included the eccentric “Tzig, Tzig,” study (Squires) a dainty “Tarantella,” of tloitermann’s, with, as encore numbers, a “Gavotte Huraoristique” (Squire), and Saint Sachs’ beautiful idyll, ‘Le Cyghe ” The Utile fellow was in exv r ~ > * I ‘ , Calient form. Harry, Lis elder brother, was equally successful with his violin, and very capably interpreted an exacting Vieuxtemps “Polonaise,” and Sarasato’s fantastic but intricate “Gypsy Airs,” adding, as encore numbers, Schumann’s simple but beautiful “Traumerei,” and a gay “Canzonetta D’Ambrosio.” With Miss Polly Ellwood at the piano, the Trio were thoroughly enjoyable. The last two movements of Arensky Trio in D Minor (Op. 82) afforded the young musicians plenty of opportunity for demonstrating their undoubted capacity for concerted music. They really excelled, however, in the second concerted item, Grrig’s Norwegian Dance (No. 1) playing the characteristic music with spirited abandon, yet in perfect accord. This clever combination is ably assisted by Mr John Prouse, the wellknown baritone. Box plan at Grubb’s, where 2s tickets can also be obtained.

BERNARD’S PICTURES. " Last night’s change or pictures was greeted by a 1 airly large and appreciativo audience, when everything went with a swing. The star drama was an American Biograph production entitled “The Little Tease.” No doubt the long-sought for A.B.’s are ’ most up to date in everything pertaining to photo dramas. The actors stand alone as legitimate performers, and as for detail in photography nothing better could be desired! Maurice Costello, the popular Vitagraph actor, was at home in the great detective drama, ‘‘The Ambassador’s Disappearance,” a m«d unique plot, which is assisted by magnificent stage settings. The Wai wick Chronicle is as usual full of "current topics. The scenic portion was well represented in Scenes in Turkey, the seat of war. “Willie Watches Over Home,” a great comedy i by the Tyler Co., is a fail- screamer 1 and '■•■'ads the audience away with a 'tad g(.ucl .11 of laughter. The comic 1 songs by V’. Diamond were well received. The same programme will he screened again this evening. On | Eriday evening there will be amateur j trials with prizes lor best sentimental | and comic singer. I
