AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATEE. Ivan films arc known to be mainly devoted to the large and pressing pfoblems of the day, and in ‘ ‘ The Jjrirl Who Did Not Care,” showing at the King’s to-night a grave modern problem is dealt with in earnest fashion. The story develops naturally, and the gradual lapse into evil courses of the girl is finely and mercilessly depicted Donald Hall, in the leading role, portrays splendidly the husband who succombs to the lure of sex, turning from the wife, who has bored him with her everlasting melancholy ovor the loss of her son whom she more than worshipped. James Morrison, B'ale and Frankin Mann, fill the other leading roles, and make up a cast of exeeptional strength. Most of the scenes are laid in the homes of the wealthy I circles of New York, and are remarkI able for the wealth and beauty of the interiors. Frankie Mann is one of the attraction sirens that has ever been seen upon the screen and her actions are probably being founded upon motives that are likely to bo fountain such a pretty wayward and totally heartless woman. A Keystone comedy, Gazette, etc., support the above.

MAORI ENTERTAINMENT. LADY LIVERPOOL’S FUND. Purchasers of three shilling tickets are advised to take their tickets to Swcdlund’s Music Warehouse and have their seats reserved at once as seats are rapidly being taken up. Many of the Wanganui performers are already in Town and the quartette party is due from Hawkes Bay to-morrow morning. TAIHAPE A. AND P.

The cattle entries are a record over 160 head of fat and pure-bred cattle will be penned. For the public from a spectacular point of view" there are 107 entries in the jumping competitions, which will ensure a good afternoon’s entertainment.
