ENTERTAINMENTS.

MONTGOMERY'S PICTURES

A final reminder is given that the season of Mr Edmund Montgomery's entertainers will commence at the Town Hall this evening. Amongst the : cinematograph films to bo shown to-night are "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," "La Milo. • the modern Venus, in private life and as Lady Godiva in the Coventry Pageant," "The King and His Navy," "The Armchair," and a beautifully tinted reproduction of those famous lines, "Curfew must not ring to-night." Mr Montgomery will sing "Ain't you Coming Back to old New Hampshire, Molly?" and "I'm Tying the Leaves so they Won't Come Down." Mr Montgomery has engaged a traction engine to drive his new dynamo, so to ensure clear steady pictures.

MR J. C. WILLIAMSON'S MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY.

The box plan for Mr J. C. Williamson's "Blue Moon" Company, who are to appear here on Saturday next, will be opened this morning at 9 o'clock at Miss Rive's. A contemporary says:—"Mr Williamson's Company have just concluded a highly successful season, artistically and financially, at His Majesty's Theatre, Auckland. "The Blue Moon" is a dainty production, and was a phenomenal success when first produced at The Lyric Theatre, London. The libretto was written by Mr Harold Elli*, and revised by Mr A. M. Thomnson, the music was composed by Mr Howard Talbot and Mr Paul Rubens, while the added lyrico are from the pens of Mr Percy Greenbank and Mr Paul A. Rubens. It is a triumph in stage craft, and nothing so brilliant in scenic display, so artistic in the treatment, and so gorgeous in effect and the harmonious blending of colours has been seen since the days when 'Djin Djin' was all the rage."
