AMUSEMENTS.

THE NIGHT OF THE PaRTY.

Mr George Willoughby's excellent! | New English Farcical Comedy Com-| pany will play at the Town Hall,! Masterton, to-night, in Weedong Urossmith's famous comedy "The| Night of the Party," under the direc-1 tion of Rupert Clarke and Clyde Meynell. A certain amount of romantic interest attaches to David Jones, the leading Comedian of the George Willoughby Company, who wi'l make his appearance here in the role ofl Crosbie. His father was Davids James, the tamous comedian, whol made "Our Boys" known throughout! the world. Ki§ private name wasl David James Belaso. The principal| comedian cf the Willoughby Com-fe pany is a cousin of David Belasco,! the author of ( "The Darling of thel Gods," etc , who has done more auc-| ressea on the American stage than! every othsr writer of plays. David. | James senior, at his death, left an| enormous fortune, including a be-| quest of "about £40,000 to charities.! Watching the rehearsal of "Thel

Night of the Party" one could not fail to detect the work of Weedon

ifGrossmith. Almost in every action ofi ®the characters—in fact in every linel iof the play, the celebrated comedian! ivpho wrote the play has crammed itl Iwith farcical situations and cleverl isnappy dialogue. Everything goes I alike clockwork and bsfore one of| llhe charactsrs has "thrown off"! fjsoir.etlnng smart another one hasp gbutted in with another slab of wit. | |Grossmith is a comedian of the quick | land bustling variety, and ha has set! Ihis stamp on "The Wight of thel | Party," mno uncertain way. Thel |farcical comedy goes with a rush! Ifrom beginning to end, and the audi-l fence will have to laugh quickly atl leach point in order to keep pacel | with it. The box plan is now on view 1 at Miss Rive's. I THOMPSON-PaYNE PICTURES. The Foresters' Hall proved far too small to accommodate the huge crowd of children that attended on Saturday The educational value of such subjects as "Different Trades in India," "Belshazzer's Feast," and the line picture of "Egypt" is beyond doubt, and it is Ito be hoped the children have benefited by seeing them. As a mark of respect to the late King Edward the performance did not take place on j Saturday evei/ing. Tc-night a complete change of films livill be pre-, 3ented among which another line' brilliant picture "The Life of Moses,'* "The Traitor," and Woman from Mellon's" will appear.? —- _ j
