AMUSEMENTS.

"AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOME." This evening, at the Town Hall, Masterton, theatre-goers will have the opportunity to witness one of the most remarkable plays ever written. Mr Edwin Geach, who has made special arrangements with Mr J. C. Williamson, will present the play that roused the Empire, "An Englishman's Home.' During its recent run in Sydney, the audiences have been tne most repesentative that the Royal has seen for some time, for at each peformance all classes of the community have gathered, and the house has been packed long before the curtain rose. The great moral of ihe play has been taken to heart, judging by the interest that has been evinced in the various situations and the great satire on the unpreparedness of the nation was appreciated. The box plan is at Miss Rive's, where seats may be booked without any extra charge. "A BACHELOR'S HONEYMOON."

One of the strongest comedy companies that has ever visited New Zealand will support Mr Hugh Ward next Tuesday averring, in the Masterton Town Hall, when he will present the enormoiislysuceessful musical farce entitled "A Bachelor's Honeymoon " They come flushed with success from Australia and the South Island, and are at prese.it scoring a nightly triumph in Wellington, where the immensely funny adventures ot Benjamin Bachelor are moving crowded audiences to hysterical laughter. Mr Hugh Ward is said to D 9 in his element in the part of Bachelor, which is the type of character in which he is particularly brilliant, and gives ample opportunities for introducing some of his wonderfully executed dances which have always been associated with his past successes. Miss Grace Palotta has the bright and vivacious role in which she excels. Miss • Rose Musgxove plays a broad comedy study which she is said to mould into a perfect and intensely amusing caricature of the rhodren lady "slavey " Miss Celia Ghiloni will hide her personal charm beneath the make up of a sour sipinster, but has a' fine opportunity for clever comedy work. Mr Reginald Wykeham plays the part of a lawyer, always In a hurry. Mr Arthur Eldred impersonates a young German doctor with much humour, and Mr Robert Gre>g will be seen as a' somewhat extravagant detective always after clues. The box plan will be open at the Town Hall tomorrow morning from 9 till 10 o'clock, and subsequently at Miss Kive's, bookseller, Queen Street. The company will visit Greytown on Monday, October 18th.
