AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES. "OUT OK THE BIG SNOWS." To-night at His Majesty's Theatre, the chief attraction with the new programme, is a master film drama entitled "Out of the Big Snows," which depicts adventure, endurance, and daring, in the out of doors among the primitive natures of the trappers who live among the snow clad forests of North West Canada. The picture is set in and around "The Rockies" and tells of a young miner who falls in love with a beautiful "Dance Hall Girl," who is saved just in time from the half breed's jealous act by a young doctor. A particularly good comedy by the Triangle Keystone Co., entitled "The Village Scandal." Witli the British ami French in Flanders, (topical) the copper industry in Spain, General Mahon's defences in Salonika, and The Heart of a Sheriff, complete an exceptionally strong programme. VICTOR PRINCE REVUE VAUDEVILLE CO.

The Town Hall was patronised on Saturday with a downstairs house, but circle was neglected. The reputation of the Company was fully maintained, indeed the merits of the individual performers exceeded expectations among those who had not had the- pleasure of seeing and hearing them before. Vaudeville has its patrons no less than picture shows, although it never questions the rights of its rival or deigns to argue on the ethics of the stage, but now rejoices no doubt on the advent of the censor and bis premises regarding certain highly-colored films. But this is by-the-way to a' certain extent. The whole performance on Saturday night was what must be called good in every sense of the word, and while, there was high-kicking, joking, and singing, nothing happened to offend the- most fastidious theatre-goer. Some of the audience go so far as to say that the company was equal to tlie best that the standard Fuller's circuit lias boasted, and if that be a compliment, then let it stand for virtue regarding the Stratford entertainment by the Victor Prince Revue Company. A sore point with those who did not attend was the "ideeah!" of charging such prices as four, shillings to see a vaudeville show! What did they take us for! That's why my Jack and 1 didn't go! Some opinion, too, the reader will say, but is not the management also entitled to its opinion as to the value of the show? However, what might have been had "popular prices" been advertised must now remain only a conjecture. Of one thing the company may be sure, and that is that a return visit with popular prices chucked in will'be heartily welcomed by those who saw Saturday's night entertainment and by lots more who were absent only for reasons of their own.

THE HAWERA SHOW. The thirty-third annual show under the auspices of the Egmont A. and P. Association will be held on November 22 and 2-3, when there will be as( usual a great exhibition of all classes of live stock, together with the annual dog show, home industries and school work, motor and agricultural machinery displays. The general competitions will be a feature of People's Day, the 23rd, and the countryside will not likely forget to be there. Entries close on November 11 with the acting-secretary, Mr H. A. Lennon, Box 79, Hawera.
