ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PANTOMIME COMPANY. There is a treat in store for the residents of Inglewood and district to-night, when Messrs Coleman and Taylor present the Eoyal Pantomime Company in the highly-amusing pantomime "Bluebeard." The company has been touring the Dominion for tlie last two or three months, and have made a remarkable success wherever they have appeared. The play itself depicts what may happen to a man who, not content with one wife, saddles himself with ten. The plot is a very ingenious one, and the mirthprovoking situations give ample opportunity to the jomedians of the company to display their undoubted talent. The comedy itself is of a wholesome nature, without a trace of the suggcstiveness so often apparent in the modern play, and there is not a dull moment from rise to fall of the curtain. The company, which was specially selected, comprises some excellent performers, including Miss Kathleen Mack, the chfcrming principal 6o'y, Mr. Charles Howard, a Bluebeard of convincing methods; Miss Mollie King, a dainty and- sweet principal girl; Mr. Bob Lloyd, the pantomime damo "par excellence," and a brilliant cast of 30 perfbrmers. It isn't often that a compny of this repute is able to visit the smaller towns, and there *.s no doubt that residents will appreciate the fact and turn out in large numbers to witness the performance of ''Bluebeard" at Inglewood to-night,
