ENTERTAINMENTS.

DUFAULT TO-NIGHT. A splendid house will gather at the Theatre. Royal to-night to ' l'eet i'aul JJufault, Die great tenor, on his first appearance here as a recognised star. The programme includes the big -aria from "L e Cid," and a number of lovely sony;.;, th«' majority of which are in English. Assisting '.Mr JJufault is Mi.-s Pauline Bindiev, of whom we have heard glowing reports, who will sin* the "Shadow Song" from "Dinorah" and a !>roup of English songs, ami wiLl also join -Mr. Dufault iu the delightful duet, "It \\as a Lover and (lis Lass." Ernest Toy's violin numbers will include an arrangement of airs from "Faust." Harold Whittle, well-remembered from the Aleiba, Calve, and De Ciaiieros tours, will preside at the piano. ROYAL ARTILLERY BAI J D. NEW PLYMOI.TU SEASON.

The lii'st of the concerts to be given in New Plymouth by the famous Royal Artillery Hand will be played in the Theatre Royal to-morrow evening, and the second and last will be played uu the following afternoon in the Recreation Grounds. Rooking for the concert to-morrow evening has already been very good, and the remarkably line programme to be presented will" evidently lie listened to by a large audience. This brief season in New Plymouth will end the Band's hurried tour of New Zealand, and it also marks the near approach of the. end of the musicians' stay in New Zealand. The Band will leave here on Friday night for Auckland, where it will play at the Exhibition for about ten days more, and it will then leave for England. The New Plymouth concerts thus represent the last opportunity that a great many people iii this district "ill have of hearing the Hand in this country. It is an occasion not lightly to be missed, for there has never been in this country such an accomplished band of instrumentalists. The 43 playing members form a contingent specially chosen from amongst the full strength—lOC men —of the famous Band of tlife Royal Regiment of A. tillerv: and they are under the baton of the bandmaster of the great band, Mr E. C. •Stretton.

To-morrow's programme, the items of which are enumerated in another column, will be found of a character which will have a host of admirers. It ranges from grave to gay, from heavy to light; and yet it verges neither into the deeply classical which is too difficult for general appreciation nor into the frivolity which would make its hearers regard the performance in any way as n waste of the performers' time. The box plan for to-morrow's concert s now open at Mr. IL Collier's music warehouse, and tickets for reserved *eats, and for unreserved seats as well, may be procured there. Fridav afternoon's concert promises to be -highly successful. A plan of reserved seats for that concert has l)een prepared, and seats may be booked at a very moderate price at Mr. Collier's. The Band is due in New Plvmouth at 3.30 tun., and the Mayor (Mr Browne) uroDOJes to give the musicians a welcome to the town. On Friday evening the Band will l»avc by the Rarawa for Auckland, via Oneliunga. EMPIRE PICTURES. Patrons at the Emnire to-night will be regaled with a feast of moving-pic-ture delights, ranging from topical and industrial items through an exquisite selection of dramatic studies to broad comedy. There are two feature pictures, one by the noted A.B. Company, entitled ''The Secret Treaty," and another by the cqnally popular Kalera Company, "Sacrifice at the Spillway," an intensely exciting story which has the Panama Canal for a setting. THEATRE ROYAL PICTURES. Owing to the Theatre Royal being otherwise engaged to-night and to-mor-row night, there will be no pictures shown until Friday next, when the management will introduce a gorgeous selection of film beauties for one night only. Patrons are reminded that there will be 110 pictures on Saturday night, as the Royal Pantomime will occupy the theatre that evening. ROYAL PANTOMTME COMPANY. There is every indication that the first performance of the lloval Pantomime Company in ''Old Mother Hubbard," at the Theatre Royal on Saturday, will be made to a crowded house. The occasions are rare indeed that Nejv Plymouth playgoers are afforded the opportunity of witnessing a pantomime at popular prices, especially when it is to be said that the pantomime to be staged compares more than favorably with any others that have been staged here. "Old Mother Hubbard" lias been a winning card for the Royal Pantomime Company for several years r.ast, and is now being played to crowded houses throughout the Dominion. The box plan is at Collier's.
