ENTERTAINMENTS.

i j EMPIRE THEATRE. | "THE DIGGERS." Probably no combination of artists which has visited New Zealand has acquired such a measure of popular favor as the "Diggers," who are due to commence a brief season at the Empire Theatre o:r\ Saturday next. During a | seven weeks' tour of the Dominion t'hey j were enabled to pay over to the Mavors of towns visited a total sum of £2500 for the benefit of returned soldiers. The combination still consists of twenty members—ten artists, and ton musrci'ans forming a select orchestra, which is one of the special features of the entertainment. Commenting on the excellent performance presented by the "Diggers" in Auckland, the Herald says:—"The performance, from curtain to curtain, contained more laughs than most, professional shows*." The Globe, London, says—"The Victoria Palace was packed last night, the attraction being the 'Diggers' (N.Z. Pierrots), who have made°a great hit. Stan Lawson. the female impersonator, is wonderful." The box plan is now open at Collier's. EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "THE PRIMITIVE WOMAN." The excellence and originality of the story and the great popularity of the star made "The Primitive' Woman" i; .Splendid success alt Everybody's last evening. The premier cast, taken by Margarita Fischer, is a difficult role, so delicately handled that by her hnpisn. daring acting, she not only captures the cynical professor, but the audience as well. The sixth episode of "Wolves of Ivultur" also shows on this programme. The change of programme for to-morrow and Saturday will be headed by a Fox fenture "Thc'lToart of a Lion," a picture adaptation of Ralph Connor's wellknown novel, "The Doctor of Crow's Nest." The. leading part is taken by William Farnum. THE PEOPLE'S. "THE PRTCE OF A GOOD TIME." "A page from human life" adequately describes -The Price of a Good Time." the piece de resistance on to-night's new bill at the People's. It is a sevenpart "Jewell" supnr-feature and presents the beautiful Mildred Harris' (Airs. Charlie Chaplin) in her most exacting and human role. It is a play poinfing a great moral, yet it is delicately handled, and advances the sound preachment that in the environment of die home rests the influences 11>-,t prednmiale in a young person's life. It' cannot fail to appeal strongly to all womankind.
