AMUSEMENTS.

H.M. THEATRE. "War in the Skies," the big feature on last night's programme, had the audience thrilled with its many startling episodes. "The Third New Zealand Expeditionary Force" is a very clear subject, showing the fareivell reception at Newtown Park, Wellington, and the embarkation. "The War Gazette" contains new events .rom the war. "From Peril to Peril" is a sensational Kalera drama, and includes a wonderful high dive from a railroad bridge. A very fine scenic film is "Down the River Fuji, Japan." Comedies include "The Masqueradors," "Wifie's Athletic Mother," and "Dick Potter's Wife." Mr. Will Diamond sings "Our Brave New Zealand Boy*" for the last time to-night. "WHO'S THE LADY?" "Wit is the essence, ingenuity the sauce of true comedy," said Dumaspere: What he said of the spice, it is unnecessary to add in relation to modern French farce, inasmuch as the flavour of a generation ago is changed for the healthy humor of to-day. "Who's the Lady?" is one of the examples of modern French style, and has been cheerfully accepted as such in many lands. On Tuesday next at the Town Hall, Stratford, Miss Ethel Dane and all the old favorites of "The Glad Eye" Company Avill seek to qualify for friendship with the Stratford public, when they appear in "Who's the Lady?" described as one of the brightest and wittiest of modern French farces. "On, on with the fun," said Coquelin, the gifted sou of the French academic, and while the fun is fast, furious and healthy, "on with the fun," repeat all good play-goers. Past experience shows that Tom Shelfordj Henry J. Ford, and Frank Bradley, together with Claud Vernon and Edward Landor, lack nothing in pace or appreciation of the opportunities that authors give them, and the management declare themselves happy in their confidence that another successful season is in store. The 'jox plan is open at Grubb's.
