AMUSEMENTS.

H.M. THEATRE. I A large number of patrons viewed the new change of pictures last night. The feature play, “The (jiij> of the , Fast,” is a splendid story of plani tation life mingled with a fine love 1 romance. A very interesting subject ' is “The Glima Troupe,” showing the art of jn-jitsn and self-defence. “The | Unopened Letter,” an Edison play, ( contains a fine story of pathos. “The 1 Australian Gazette” pictures Australian Light Horse manoeuvring at ' Broadmeadows—departure of South j Australia’s expeditionary force—hombj dropping by' Aviator Delfasse Badgery —clever war cartoons by Harry Julius. Other pictures are three huiuj orous comedies, “Fighting .the Burj glars,” “A Millinery ..Mix-up,” and ; “Stout Heart hut Weak Knees.”

WHO’S THE LADY?” TO-NSGHT AT STRATFORD. Bright as are the comedies of the “Glad Eye Company’s repertory, so, too, are the titles of those comedies. “Who’s the, Lady” ? as a title at once conjures up possibilities of charms ami wiles, mistaken identities, and merry happenings, while a record of long runs in London and Paris, and successful seasons in Australia give promise of miifli entertainment when “The Glad Eye” Company produce this face at the Town Hall, Stratlord, tonight. All the popular members of this organisation will appear again. Miss Ethel Dane as Gohette, a chic and piquanto French actress, lias her chief opportunity of the repertoire; Tom Sholford and Henry J. Ford, by the author’s devices, are once again thrown much together, for on them de-| volves those young-men parts in which; they have been so successfully associa-| ted. Erauk Bradley, as Tricointe andLinua St. Clair, as the real Madame j Tricointe are fitted with parts of j hourgeoise type so familiar to eon-, stant playgoers. Edward Candor as an eccentric usher, and Claude Ver-i non as a more eccentric cleric, with-j out even mentioning other members of the long and capable cast, convey in ; those descriptions much anticipating, fun. The box plan for “Who’s the j Ladvr’” is at Grubb’s.

WINTER SHOW. Applications for space ami who-1 dale's are still coming forward, so that prospects for the forthcoming show are particularly bright. Very keen interest is being taken in the poultry and pigeon classes, especially amongst the bantam fanciers, who will have the New Zealand championship to compete for. A number of special prizes have been donated, and there will also be Mr S. J. Smith’s challenge cup of £d bs for the best bird in the Show . Exhibitors of poultry should also boar in mind that they are eligible to compete for the valuable trophy donated by Messrs Dimock and Co. for the most points scored at the Winter Show. This is a handsome silver howl, and will lie won outright at the forthcoming Show. Schedules on application to the Secretary, Box It), New Plymouth,
