HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Tho last three nights of Schell's wonderful lions are announced at His Majestey's Theatre. This act has been a big draw in Wellington, and is one that has to be seen to be appreciated. John Earl, the clover hat juggler, has becomo a firm favourite already. His turn is always responsible for much applanso at its conclusion. The Driscol Bros, put on another popular turn. It is several years since they have been seen in Wellington, and their work this time is bettor than ever it was. Madame Rose Lorenz performs dainty acts on an aerial trapeze, and the Two Franklins are also seen to advantage in a specialty turn. Other artists who are appearing this week include Herman and Shirley, Brinkman and the Steele Sisters, Wykeham and Preston, and M'Kenzie and Guest. "THE BRUTE" AT THE KING'S. "The Brnte ; " one of the best pictures of its kind, is being shown at the King's Theatre this week. It is a powerful dramatic study by the Famous Players Co., with Malcolm Williams in the title role, i Mr. Williams is a celebrated American actor, and handles his part exceptionally well in this production. The various incidents and scenes during the play are well set out, and the plot is sustained throughout. The supporting programme is also good, includa ' au Shable Keystone comedy, "Hello, Mabel!" An educational film of great interest, called "Winter Logging in the Maine," gives the audience a good impression of the American timber industry. A feature of the current week's programme is the "Pathe Gazette." EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. Daily from noon the programme at Everybody's Theatre is being shown to appreciative audiences. The principal attraction this .week is .Gaston Mervale in "Warfare in the Air." In this picture the latest war movements are portrayed, and the whole production is well up to the Vitagraph Co.'s standard; Charles Chaplin, the Keystone's fun producer, is again causing much amusement. This week he is to bo seen to advantage in a bright comedy, entitled "The Masquerader." Other pictures include the Gaumont War Graphic, "From Peril to Peril," "Nieuport Under Fire," "Wife's Athletio Mania" (comic), and the_ departure of New Zealand's third reinforcements.

PEOPLE'S PICTURE PALACE. In responce to numerous requests, the management of the People's Picture Palace, in Manners Street, announce that it has been decided to continue showing "Trilby" till the end of tho week. This capital film has been responsible for large houses during the last three days. It is a splendid dramatisation of _ George du Maurier's famous work with Sir Herbert Tree as Svengali, and Misß Viva Birkett, the well-known English actress, as ! Trilby O'Farrall. There is probably .no role in which England's premier actor has been more widely appreciated than <is Svengali, There will be an entire change of supporting pictures in today's programme, included in which will be several dramatic studies. After "Trilby" the two main pictures will he "Chief's Love Affair," and . "Pals." The former is an A.B. film dealing with the capture of a gang of "crooks' by the chief of police. "Pals" is a pretty lovo story showing how a flower f(irl saves a pavement artist from prison. Other pictures _ will be "Vegetarian's Dream," described as a clever trick film; "Umbrian Scenes," and "Under tho Flag of France."
