NEW STINKING ACTS. •tj-iider contract lo the management oHTiny Towrf-who-open at the Town Hall, Stratford, on Saturday next. £nme a nrikpuTMuo in the theatrical V.oriel, known as the Franco Midgets. They are magicians and dancers from Holland, who have no superiors in their work. Concluding recently a protracted engagement which embraced iturope, England and Amercica, they have joined the forces of the already astounding community Tin\\Town. On their illusion act, they have not the assistance of back cloths, trap doors, or accessories as used by otrier magicians, but work clearly in the open, thus making their turn ah the more remarkable. Further interest by these clever and versatile entertainers in shown by their ragtime dancing,' at which both are experts. The

Franco Midgets joined Tiny Town on its recent American tour, and so successful did their work prove in that critical amusement continent that the management retained their services only after strenuous communications with European theatrical managers who had then already contracted for their reappearance in Europe. The box plan is at Grubb’s, and there is no extra charge for booking. BERNARD’S PICTURES. , f : A very fair and most enthusiastic audience greeted last (.might’s big change of pictures at Bernard’s. The star feature entitled “A IVight Out ’ is a somewhat lengthy 1* reach comedy by the Fat lie Freres Go., and met with much' approval, causing much merriment. The remainder of the programme consisted of dramatic, comic, and scenic gems of a very high order. To-morrow’s change is stated by tbe management to he a speciallyselected series direct from Wellington, embracing the leading makers. The star film is “The Holy State,” an unapproachable picture comedy, comprising 3000 feet of refined humour, direct from the illustrious Comedic Franchise Theatre, Paris. It is said to have coutilised thousands of Parisians with laughter. The play contains a series of tarcial situations of the most complicated nature, and the hero’s affairs and those; of his longsuffering friend, reach such a pitch o, entanglement as the climax approached, that patrons almost share the be. wiklernient of some of the victims. “The One Good Turn”*- Yitagraph drama/ “With Eyes of thsYßlind,” by Ediyoii; “The! Gaumont Graphic,” “Hearing Alligators,” and- pan'' educatory marvel of “Microbes "o' Recurrent Fd'feV,” with a hunch' of the latest comics, make a high-class iVrdgibiimhy. 'JIM |\/
