AMUSEMENTS.

THE DE LISSAC GENIUSES. TOWN HALL TO-MORROW NIGHT. Residents of Taihape may have no misgivings about the ability of tne Russian lads who give a sacred recital to-morrow evening in the Town Hall. It is a fact that these wonderfully gifted lads have filled Town Halls and theatres night after nigiu with their almost Jnjigical music. \ is a common thing to read in reports that "the building was again overcrowded." Young Henri de Lissac can attract large houses in of the principal centres. He plays with the rarest skill and genius, and whether one can appreciate the beauty of the music or not he must marvel at the almost impossible combination ana progress of pleasing sounds. Thero is nothing in the programme submitted but a demonstration of what real musical genius is and is capable of, and there is nothing to prevent you attending to hear the lads on Sunday evening any more than in listening, to

or playing one's piano or organ in Church or at home. Since history began music has been the associate of religion, and it is an axiom that nothing is more uplifting than good music, and it is good music those who attend the Town Hall to-morrow evening will hear. It is to be hoped true appreciation will keep the number of threepenny-bits down —the lads deserve better.

THREE STARS. "Tillie's Punctured Romance," shown last night at this theatre is beyond explaining. From the first foot to the end the fun is fast and furious. Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dressier, Mabel Normand, and a host of the Keystone actors kept one in roars of

; laughter. It is without doubt the lim,it in comedy. There was a full house I to see it last night, and to-night seatj ing accommodation will be hard to j get, as to-night will be your last j chance. The screening will com- | mence to-night at 9.15. The other ; star, "Jim the Penman," by the Fam- | ous Players, is a splendid production, ! and will be shown for the last time j to-night. 'V EVERYBODY'S. Commencing to-day at the Matinee, the management of "Everybody's" will present an extraordinary picture attraction. There will be two dramatic features, supported by a ,War Journal and a Topical of an educa tional value showing the manufacture of shells for the French 75 gun, and two good comedies. The dramatic subjects are exceptionally strong. Tne picture of Nurse Edith Cavell's martyrdom was produced in Australia by J. C. Williamson Ltd., and is said to be a particularly fine film, excellent in staging, acting and photography. "Infelice" was produced by a B*rrrish company, and is from the widelyread novel by Augusta J. Evans Wilson, and features Miss Peggy Kyiand. The full programme will occupy two and a-half. -hours on the screen, and at the matinee it will bo shown in its entirety, therefore intending patrons should be early to avoid disappointment. Seats may be reserved at Finch's Bazaar.
