Case," This play has proved a remarkable success wherever it has been produced, and i.i Auckland lu>;t week it created somethin? like a theatrical sensation, bein; the topic of general conversation •"id di-«-tu=*ic ii among tb'.x' wicked peop'e who arc in the ha'::i of f'r--I||»using theatres. AVe are not going t» give the plot away. bc-ause ' that won'il he to rob tho audii'iH'e of ha f the interest and excitement of the play, but it, is sufficient to say flint in a very clever and absorbing maimer it deals with the unravelling of the mystery of a crime by modern methods, and incidentally tells a very pretty vove story. It is claimed for this production that it will lire in the memory o: theatregoers side by side with the memorable performance of "Within the ljaw," "The Third Degree," "Sunday." and "Arizona," It could surely have 110 better recommendation than such an association.

The Flying- A Oom- | panv's "Where the Road Fcrks," i 3 the special feature drama, and the nrodu"ers have excelled themselves in this fascinating story. The want of space, prevents a resume of the picture, which i.-, a most artistic production. The fi]>n showing the Italian navy of to-day is Tory instructive.
