ENTERTAINMENTS.

PETER DAWSON

To sit at home and enjoy through the medium cf the gramophone the singing; of the gifted English baritone, Mr Peter Dawson is the happy lot of thousands throughout the Englishspeaking- world, but to few outside the British Isles has the opportunity been offered of hearing him with all the living, throbbing intensity and personality behind every note, and seeing him with all his' manliness and bonhomie. Tonight all music lovers will h?,ve such an opportunity at the Town Hall with an English concert company to have reached a plane of high repute in their respective spheres, and have charmed large audiences.

The gramaphone records of Peter Dawscn's voice already sold, if placed side by side, would form a girdle round the world, 'a wonderful record' in a double sense. No matter where you be in the English-speaking world, be it the Wild West cf America, darkest Africa, or in the back blocks of Australia, there he is to be found singing, be the weather conditions ever so adverse, always in gcod voice, and all that is required is a fresh needle for each scng

Those who have not experienced the pleasure cf hearing Peter Dawson sing in the flesh, should not fail to take the opportunity of doing so this evening. He is, without doubt, one of the finest baritone singers that has ever toured New Zealand, and who, at the present time, occupies a premier London position and a popularity that is second to none For the convenience of tradesmen and their assistants, the management announce that che concert, will commence at 8.30, instead of So'clcck. Bex plan and day sales at Finch's Bazaar. For prices, see advertisement.

PICTURE THEATRESThe powerful, beautifull coloured Pathe star drama, 'A Tragedy of the Clouds, 7 ' was again much appreciated by a good house at the Station Street Theatre last njght. The picture is interesting throughout and reaches tho climax in a sensational balloon ascent and the tragic result. The remaining includng the humorous Key* stone comedy, ''Mabel's Married Life," also merit ru'atee. Charles Dickens' great work, "Davicl Coppcrfiehl," was again portrayed a I the Three Stars Theatre wi f h p.pif.l success last night. The picture is certainly of the highest oi'd-?r and al'hv.igh it extends throughout the entire programme is thoroughly interesting, in fact, interest never flags. Furthermore, it is not disjointed as are many similar productions, but runs on smoothly from beginning to end with the context always in view. The picture will be repeated this evening.
