AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PECTUF.ES

To-night at His Majesty Theatre there will be shown for the first time the latest production of "The Famous Players" Co., of America, a five reel masterpiece, entitled" The Crucible," with -Marguerite Clark, the talented and beautiful American actress, (.Mary Pickfords Rival) whose popularity in the U.S.A. is remarkable—a "Marguerite Clark" play being always an assured success. In" The Crucible" she portrays a character that perhaps no other cinema actress could do. From the romping tomboy to the enlightened woman of the world "tried in the fire" of tempation in "The Crucible of New York Life," she is said to give a powerful and emotional study that cannot fail to appeal to all classes of picturegoers, and especially to students of human nature. The supporting pictures have been carefully selected and include .War Gazette, John Hulls Sketch Book, and their Night Out. New orchestral items will be rendered by 11. M. Orchestral Band.

"ANZAGS" AT TOKO. The entertainment by the Anzac Minstrels at Toko last night was very successful, tlie performers vieing witli each other in the successful pre sentation of their items. End-men Ward, Bradley, Cato, and Rowc were irresistibly funny in their latest budget of songs and jakeß, and the local gags were clean and well selected. Miss Sheahan's singing of "Alger-

non" was an improvement even upon Uer besi previous efforts and this popular performer was enthusiastically encored; her rendering of "Your King and' Country Need You" was also spirited and artistic. Miss Greenhajgh's presence in the troupe is the hall-mark of excellence, her finished acting and singing never fail to rouse the audience to unstinted applause and enthusisasm. "Samee" the piece de resistance, is excruciatingly funny with this lady as the exponent. Mr Gr. T. Walters sings several good songs well, and is a tower of strength in the chorus?s. Mr T. Richardson and Mr J. King complete the circle. A fine song is "The Long Trail." and Mrs Edmondson did full justice to the item. The "Forest Glade" farce concluded the first part of the programme. The second was comprised of additional items by the several performers, concluding with Mr F. Foley's amusing ventriloquial sketch. The Anzac orchestra, Messrs Lester (2), and Kdmondson capably played the accompaniments. Supper was served and dancing for a couple of hours followed, the evening proving most enjoyable to all. The Wounded Soldiers' Fund will benefit to the extent of about C 7 as the result of the entertainment. Mr P. Skoglund returned thanks for the reception accorded the Anzacs, and for assistance in collecting "silver bullets" with which to meet the demands upon the Nation and give comfort to the hoys who were driving the Germans back to the Rhine so that the dear old Flag could still be kept Hying at the masthead.
