ENTERTAINMENTS.

♦ THEATRE ROYAL. Fullers' Vaudeville Company drew another large house at the Theatre Itoval last night. Miss Ettio Williams, who has made such a hit this week, as "the girl in the harem skirt," will appear in the same turn for three more nights. The end of the week will see the passing of Daly and O'Brien, tanglefoot dancers. The pair received another Rood reception last night. Other successful contributors to the programme were Hiss Mabel Fowler, soprano, Miss Elma Anderson, contralto,' Miss Mabel Lynn, serio, and th» Rogers Quartet, juvenile acrobats. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Business continues good at His Majesty's Theatre. A complete change of programme is to be presented this, evening. Chief among the pictures to be presented are: "Eldora, the fruit Girl," a dramatic love story, "The Sergeant's Daughter," "An Exile's Lover," "Foolshead's i'cast," "A Dull Razor," and "German Dragoons Crossing a River." KING'S THEATRE. The programme presented at the King's Theatre this week is quite on a par with its predecessors. It includes, among others; a picture of "The Girl in the Harem Skirt," "The Pirates of 1920," "Thomas a' Becltet," a very fine historical study, and "Musical Maniacs," an amusing trick film. A special announcement about the coining beauty show appears in an advertisement in this issue. The management report that a splendid lot of entries are being received. HUGH J. WARD'S FAREWELL. On Saturday next at the Opera House a farewell season will be inaugurated by Mr. Ward and his company of comedians, who are making a last visit to New Zealand. "Seven Days," the opening production, is a farce comedy by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood—two of the most promising of America's younger playwrights. Tho play proved an instantaneous success from its initial production at tho Astor Theatre, New York, where it continued for 102 nights, thereby eclipsing f all previous farcical comedy records in the States. It is described as a "clean- and classy farce." Plot and reason may he ' absentees, but laughter is present all the time. Complications follow on each other's heels, bewildering those concerned, but keeping the audience fully informed and wondering how the whole affair will work out. The caste of the production includes tho full strength of Mr. Ward's company and Miss Talotta shares the chief honours with Mr. Hugh Ward. These two clever artists keep tho bnj.l of fun rolling with art and vivacity, and aro ably assisted by Misses Celia Ghiloni, Maud Chetwynd, Ruby Baxter, Messrs. Aubrey Mallalieu, Reg AVykeham, Robert Greig, and H. H. Wallace. The box plans are open at the Dresden. A brisk booking is reported by the management, but the public are asked to note that there are still plenty of good scats available for every performance. CATHOLIC CLUB CONCERT. A very enjoyable concert and dramatic performance was given by tho dramatic branch of the Catholic Club in St. Peter's Schoolroom last' evening, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the club's delegates to the Catholic Federated Clubs' annual conference. The attendance was large, and the various items were much appreciated. The first part of tho programme was devoted to musical and vocal numbers, and, in the second part, a oneact farco entitled "Dead Shot" was staged. The Tramways Band will give a band performance, at Seatoun on Sunday next.
