( The change of programme.. 'at the I King's Theatre, Wellington, on Saturl day evening drew a crowded house.

The play is admirably j vim and venvc from start to finish; it | vim and nerve from start to finish; it abounds in fun and frolic. The Pathe Gazette, giving the news of the world in moving pictures, was as usual highly appreciated. Great interest was shown in the excellent official war film illustrating the wonderful organisation of the Royal Army Medical Corps. An exceptionally fine scenic screened the beautiful scenery of the river Vieg (Switzerland), and a unique Pathe colour film, showed as in their native habitat some well-known English fresh water fish.

This talented combination of m\isij eians, who arc giving a return consent | in Taihape on the lath of this month, are meeting with wonderful' success | and appreciation in Auckland, where ! they are now appearing. Writing of i the concert given on Thursday evening, the musical critic of the Auckland Star J says: In the concert chamber of the Town Kali Inst evening the SelinskyAmadio Conceit Party gave the premier concert of what promises to augun well for a highly successful season. The | combination of artists is an extremely I strong one, each being a master of the . branch of music, represented. It consists of M. Kolinsky, a noted Russian violinist; Mr John Amadio. a .distinguished flautist: Mr Elsy Trewteek, a gifted soprano cantatrice; and Miss Jesie Masson, an accomplished solo pianist. The concert was a most enjoyable one, of education to the musical students, and an unalloyed pleasure to advanced musicians. The performances of the visitors excited much admiration. TIIO3- gave musicianly interpretations of the pieces wherein the desires of the composers were carefully aimed at, yet the listener realised the artist's individuality. The audience was motionless, silent and interested, making a fitting background for one of the most enjoyable musical events given in Auckland for some time. \ The hex -plan is at Mr Cochran's piano depot, where seats may be reserved.
