AMUSEMENTS. | Y\THAT YTJELLINGTON C_AID'! » * HAT » > ELLINGTON rOAID I I " The Dominion," June 3— "Possibly one of the most strangely assorted entertainments ever presented in Wellington was that given to a large audience at the Grand Opera House last night by the First National Pictures. It was the association of that very fine Eng-lish-made presentation of " THE ONLY Way" (Charles Dickens' 'A Taie of Two Cities') In screen form, with Sir John Martin Harvey as Sidney Carton, and tie ultra-modern and altogether hilarious ' WEDDING OF BABY KERR," in which some forty bright youngsters took part. Both sections of the programme made a distinct appeal, etc., etc." "Free Lance"— "The Sunbeam Children from Sydney are a whole entertainment in themselves. They are a particularly bright and clever troupe-—in fact the cleverest juveniles seen In Wellington." "Times," June 3 — "True to label the advance notices of •THE ONLY WAY, - the First National film featuring the eminent English actor. Sir John Martin Harvey, is here, and it more than justifies the many good things said about it in advance. . . ... In the first half we have the Sunbeam Children from Sydney, who are presented by Frances Scully in THE WEDDING OF BABY KERR.' It is hard to believe that children of such tender years could be so talented. They have all the tricks of the trade known to many much older than they, but they retain their charm and their naturalness, their freshness, and. above all. their simplicity. The settings throughout reveal the hand of an artist, whilst the Crocking is particularly fine. It would have taken Athletic Park to accommodate all those desiring admission." "Evening Post." June 3— "The matinee yesterday drew a crowded house, and in the evening another large audience sat enthralled as the story of self-sacrifice of a man for the woman he loved, was unfolded in a ceries of scenes of brilliance. . . . The ballet of older girls, called the 'Beauty' Ballet, is all that, and more. The frocking is exquisite." VEXT TX7EDNESDAY, XXTEDNESDAY, AT THE NATIONAL AND LYRIC THEATRES.
