AMUSEMENTS.

1 o Plaza Theatre. ; Though smart, “The Lady ConI seats,’ which .shows at. the Plaza i for to-night only. is primarily ■ humorous. Co-starring Ann Hard- | lag and Herbert Marshall, the 1 film is based on a novel variation of ■ the love triangle in an intimately 1 modern setting. Miss Harding plays 1 the role of a wife who allows a cun- ! ning woman to lure away the hus- [ band to whom she is devoted. He is i a physician, played by Herbert MarI shall; and the unscrupulous one is ■ played by Margaret Lindsay. The i battle between the wife for the man ■ she loves and the rival for the things I he can give her, presents a gripping i plot. I | i Celebrity Vaudeville and Revue. i < i The return of prosperity to the Dominion has encouragt fl vaudeville and revue managements to include j New Zealand in their itinerary. Sir j Benjamin Fuller, the greaiest vaudej ville and revue entrepreneur in Hie I Southern Hemisphere, recently tried ! out the public response to a flesh and • blood vaudeville and revue company j when he sent the O’Brien-Hart Revue i Company through the cities of New Zealand. The response was so gra.fi- | tying that 'he is convinced that this type of entertainment at reasonable prices is rapidly regaining its popularly with theatre goeis in New Zealand. Sir Benjamin Fuller has now | sent, to New Zealand the Connors and I Paul Revue Company', headed by George Wallace. Another vaudeville revue' company at present meeting ■wiih great success in New Zealand is lhe Brevities Company presented by Trevor and Dawn, who recently made an experimental tour through New Zealand as an act and arrived at the same conclusion as Sir Benjamin that the .lime was now ripe for a return of i liesh and blood shows. They have 1 secured a strong aggregation of popular Tivoli acts and revue artists under the title- of “The Brevities’’ and present a bright and breezy series of sccna surprises sparkling with hilarious comedy, melodious music, spectacular and acrobatic dancing and glorious singing. The artists are 1 Ossie Cheeseman, piano accordionist, ! the Lynton Bros., comedy ami aero- I batic dancers. Reckless Reggie, the vest pocket comedian, Mitzie Hay'es, soubrette, Fred Mitchell, Irish tenor, and Trevor and Dawn, adagio dancers. “The Brevities” will play a. season of one night only at. the Plaza Theatre j to-morrow (Wednesday).
