ENTERTAINMENTS.

(TiKIiNIAYSKY.*. AND N*X.Uu Till UK. The (.'li :niia\skys are inttcli-liavelled artists, and Uie iuniiy experience- tliey ciiine in contact, with are necessarily numerous. ,I'erhaps one of the most unique stories told by the young artists to a ,South 'African journal was, when they decided to iirotw the wild Tiaiiski, in South Africa, from the western district to Dm ban by a specially hired 'Vix-fn-haml," for the purpose of satiating the .spirit of adventure, they Were held up \>y a negro trvbe-i It seems that the reputation of the artists had preceded them even to the primitive Kaliir.s. and the chief oi th.' trite in question gnodliumoredly detained the musical cavalcade and demanded the magic mil"ic oi the "Ahu-oola Moolong" (the great white man). The Cheniiavskys entered into the spirit of the thing, and with a tropical sunset behind the niango tree., for a back cloth, an old apology for a piano was dragged out of the chief's kraut, and the liTack sons of tile soil listened to tlie magic of the rntisi.:. 'Whether it. was tile inspiring sunset or th 1 spontaneity of the proceedings, the t'iicruiavskys, have not yet discovered; but strange to say, they played as they bad seldom/played 'before, and as for tin- response of the black race to the charm of th-' music, it was wonderful. "Mover tell mo again.'' remarked one of the party, "that the black man has no soul—lie is all soul before he comes in contact with the grosser part of our civilisation." 1

These wonderful artists appear in the Thealtre. I'oyal to-morrow, and judging by the enthusiasm aroused, th y are sure to have a packed house. The plan is at Collier's. OIfAKI.KK aiAl'Liy, AT THE KMPIRIi Charles Chaplin, the popular photoplay comedian, will he the. leading character in the Keystone Company's latest far.;c-coinedy siuvss, "(letting .Acquainted," which will be. introduced with the new ,-programme at the Empire Theatre to-night. The east will also incltid:.Miss Mabel Normand and Ambrose. The episodes ocviir in a city park. The trouble is commenced by Chaplin paying more aftenton to Ambrose's; wife than to "Mrs. Chaplin."' The humor is irresistibly laughable from start to finish of the play. A "..Ma.j-'.stie" comedy of an excruciatingly funny character is comprised in "The Lost Lord Lovell." A chance rescanlblan.e to a noted lord is responsible for Molly, the slavey, and Beth, the actress, trying to swirc the titled gentleman for a husband. The fun is fast and furious throughout its 2000 feet, and the tinale is most laughable. Drama, is well represented by "A Close 'Coll." a sensational adventure story, and "The Pais'sei-by," a romantic drama. "A Clean Slate*' •(Lutein drama), ''Studily*.War Studies" (a series of war cartoons) and the Caumont Graphic are also included.
