ENTERTAINMENTS.

. THE PEOPLE’S. ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN IN ‘•WHISPERS?’ To-day’s new bill commencing at the matinee at 2 pin. presents dainty Elaine Kammerstein in “Whispers.” “Whispers” is another way of saying “scandal”—the whispers behind the back—the whispers of naughty things that are hinted because a girl decided to go her own way in life. The Moving Picture World, commenting on the film, says: “More than one intelligent girl of a good faqjily is satisfied that she can safely ‘live her own life.’ They encounter the dread power of circumstance and the destructive influence of ill repute, whether deserved or not —the ‘Whispers’ that condemn them without any form of investigation or trial.” The bill includes “Tib Minh” No. 11, gazette and comedy. BARTON’S CIROUS TO-NIGHT. A strong Easter attraction this season will be Barton’s new circus opening to-night, which is said to be one of the best combinations that has ever toured New Zealand. The Toronoski troupe of Japanese, and little Mona, the child wonder, head an exceptionally strong bill, and have created a sensation wherever they have performed by their daring performances. The work of the former is both sensational and new, while little Mona's work is claimed to be a revelation, and she has become a prime favorite wherever she has appeared. Koka Kadama, in his remarkably Risley act, and later on in “The Drunk on the Wire,” shows versatility and «kill of no mean order, while the American cowbov, Alix Wyllie presents a turn redolent of the Buffalo Bill tales of our youthful days. The bounding jockey act of Edward King presents features entirely new, his work being far removed from the conventional jockey so frequently seen. Acrobatic skill of a high order is introduced into the act of the comedy acrobats, the tremar Bros., who work aleo with a ring horse, and Marvou, the Australian clown, imported by Mrs. Barton, is at the head of the merry-makers. ihe huge marquee will be erected as centrallv as possible and will be lit fhjoukhout by electricity,
