AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.

i THE LONESOME HEART,

Notwithstanding the strong counter attraction, there was a fair house at His Majesty’s Theatre last night. The feature film is entitled “The Lonesojne Heart,” in which, the bright and winsome Margarita Fischer plays to perfec.ion. It is a story that gets your sympathies—you laugh at its humor; you cry at the pathos; and you rejoice when love triumphs. It is a story that reminds you of “Rags.” Mary Pickford’s big success. Margarita Fischer, who, in the appealing part of Samanthy, an orphan girl, wanders out alone into the big cruel world and there, “in the heart of a city , that hath no heart,” has many tingling adventures which ultimately open the way to a realisation of all that is beautiful to “the lonesome heart,” A Igood programme supports the star jfilm, including the latest War Gazette.

"MOLLY BAWN.” The Town Hall was crowded to the doors last evening when the Allen Doone Company presented the evergreen “Molly Bawn” in a manner in keeping with the reputation that the company has earned for itself. The plot is woven round the life of two grand-children in their endeavor to become the ; old, man’s heir. The staging was novel and artistic, serving to enhance the performance. The various actdrs and actresses played their parts well and were heartily applauded, Allen Doone. was enthusiastically encored for his vocal items and during the evening sang several wellknown Irish ditties.

A LETTER FROM MR ALLEN □GONE,

the world-famed Irish Comedian and 'Singer, who appeared at the Town i Hall last night. The Manager, Bean’s Essence Proprietary,— ■i Dear Sir, —I had heard much about Bean’s Essence as a corrective of 'throat and voice troubles. Concluding that where there is so much public recommendation there must be merit, I decided to put your preparation to the test. Th my ease it has certainly done all, and even more, than was claimed for it.

I 1 understand Bean’s Essence was [placed on the market to enable thrifty housewives to make up cheap jcough mixture for family use. delimit my to say, much more has 'been accomplished, for a real boon has been conferred on singers, actors, teachers, preachers, public speakers, and others, who may suffer from relaxed vocal chords or from colds, causing congestion of the throat.

Wishing you every success, Yours faithfully, (Signed) ALLEN DOUJN E

( Such testimony from one so eminent in his profession as Mr Allen Doone 4s indeed pleasing endorsement of the |claim that Kean's Essence is a remedy |of the highest medicinal value for I sore throats, coughs, and colds. I Its warming, soothing, phlegm- ■ loosening action is felt immediately. | It contains no habit-forming drugs such as opium, paregoric, laudanum, etc., and is therefore perfectly safe to ■give’ to little children, as well as to Crown-ups. It is the ideal family reI” . i rnedy. j In addition to being such a splendid 'medicine, it is a great money-saver. I Added to water and sweetening, as per simple directions on each bottle, it makes up a pint of mixture,. the praises of which Mr Allen Doone has sung in the above letter. Such a quantity of ordinary cough mixtures would cost quite I2s. Hean s Essence costs only 2s, and is obtainable from chemists and stores every* where, or direct from G. W. Hean, Chemist, Wanganui. | Try a bottle now. But he sure you ask for H-E-A-X-’S, the original and genuine cough mixture essence. Imitations are never satisfactory. I B tU
