AMUSEMENTS.

THREE STARS,

There will be something doing at this Theatre to-night as the management has secured two Keystones. One is a Chaplin entitled “Chaplin’s KnockOut,” and you will have the opportunity of seeing Charlie in the ring. The other is a Mabel Normand, showing her adventures. yThe Star is a Human Drama played on the strings of emotion —a tune to which every heart will respond —the title being ‘ ‘ The Barrier of Prejudice. ” The story is—The son of a wealthy widow marries a poor fisher-girl, but old prejudices of riches and station prove almost insurmountable barriers to happiness. You will like it as it is a page from life. There are five other good supports on the programme. “EVERYBODY’S” PICTURES ! “The Marked Woman,” screened to a good house last evening in the Town Hall, Avas a most interesting and convincing piece of Chinese history. From a historical standpoint the picture "was valuable, and from an entertaining point of view it Avas perfect. There Avere many hair-breadth sensational escapes of the heroine of the subject, and in eA'ery phase the picture story Avas highly appreciated. The supporting films Avere exceptionally good, most of them being equal to real stars. The screening and projection is all that can be desired, giving an almost absolute immunity from eyw strain or tiredness. The same splendid programme aaull be repeated tonight for the last time. For to-morroAv night the management has secured tne splendid picture “Secret Love,” in Avhich two great actresses will make their first appearance on the screen— Helen Ware and Ella Hall/ In America they are styled “loAmble artists,” and they Avill doubtless soon become Avorld favourites. TOWN HALL. SUNDAY NEXT. SACRED CONCERT AND VIOLIN RECITAL. The residents of Taihape are fortunate In having a visit from the wonderful Russian boys, Henri and Maurice de Lissac, Avho have created a furore throughout New Zealand. The Wellington “Post” says: The Town Hall was not large enough to hold the number desiring admission to the concert given there last evening by Die talented young Russian A’iolinist, Henri de Lissac, ; .assisted by other artists. Long before the concert Avas timed to commence, the hall Avas packed in every part. The playing of the young artist proved to be a revelation; he is a marvel, and interprets the most difficut passages of great masters AA r ith an ease which is truly remarkable. Pie is as modest as he is clever, and has a very brilliant future before him. In our next issue more Avili be said ahou« these Russian boys.
