MARLOW DRAMATIC COMPANY. Something novel and interesting is promised to playgoer of New Plymouth on Thursday next when George Harlow's brilliant and specially-selected company will itage here for the first time, Frederick, Melville's drama "The Monk and the Woman," at the Theatre Royal. The management state that the story of the {lecejis ronuntic and novel, and the plot, is fanned on lines never previously' touched by any playwright. The comedy f an an d wholesome, and the scenic effects as wall as the mechanical contrivances are on a grand scale, llie Management add that the verdict of playgoers is that "The Monk and the Woman is one of the liest dramatic plays that Ims been brought round. The earthquake scene, which concludes the piece, lias been declared to be "the sublime realism." The box plan is now open at Collier's. r THEATRE ROYAL PICTURES. A full house greeted the second screening of the new programme submitted at the Theatre Royal last evening. Particular interest centred around the long star drama "The Black Mask" which proved a very powerfully enacted drama of the best class. A rival Oil .Trust attempts to secure plans and particulars of another gigantic Oil Trust's operations. Plans and specifications are entrusted to a young secretary to convey to headquarters. The rivals have in their employ a fascinating young ladv who is offered a high reward if she can secure the papers, or in any way betray the bearer into their handß. How tar the plan succeeds, and how the young secretary is sensationally rescued by his sweetheart, is realisticly in the closing chapters of the story, which easily ranks as a dramatic'masterpiece. , sl 'PP°i'tmg pictures include <t\ Yo splendid educational items "Studies in Nature" and "Rochester," also a tho" Mi hona.re Vagabonds," s how& two hobos who discover a pirate's hoard and llir r , to tr . y the of , lfc : endeavours to mix with 'S,,]°in a T' SOmC ] ° OSe n,illiolls ' L , st<! 1 a and a reception are sSinx Tho°f d r V a Smile from a • piimx.
