ENTERTAINMENTS

KING'S THEATRE. This week's programme at the King's Theatre is headed by the -wonderfully spectuoukr drama, ''Sahara," starring that well-known screen artist, Louise' Glaum. Some very fine scenes of Paris, Cairo, and the Sahara Desert ore shown, and form a splendid contrast. The story is one that suits Louise Glaum admirably, and is one that shows hero at her best. Mme. Mario Germain, operatic soprano, gives a delightful rendering of heir well-chosen songs, and has at each performance been accorded a heart)' reception. Tho King's Grand Orchestra play an exceptionally fine programme of ■musio, with "Nutcracker Suite" os an entr'acte. Thoro will be a full orohestral matinee to-morrow. EMPRESS THEATRE. The new programme at tho Empress Theatre is a particularly pood one, and a special feature of it is tho ment of a big serial picture, "Liberty,' which is claimed to bo the world's greatest serial; Two clever serial artists urn 6een in this production, Eddie "Polo, the • great circus performer, and Marie Walcamp. who takes tho ToT.e of "Liberty. The other star feature is a moral photodrama, starring June Elvidge and Frank Mayo. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.' "Carolyn of the Corners" is the chief attraction. at Everybody's Theatre, and features Bessie Love, who stands alone as a portrayer of child roles. Not the least worthy of mention in this simple but charming play is the star's canine friend, Prince, who nots in the finished manner that bespeaks years of training. The latest Gazette, a comedy,- and an : interest picture are included amomjst the supports. "THE SLEEPING BEAUTY."

The J. C. Williamson "Sleeping •Beauty" pantomime will be presented at the Grand Opera House to-morrow evening at ten minutes to 8. A Sydney critic, writing of the pantomime, says: The curtain lose on as wonderful a pantomime ns the magicians whom the firm of J. C. Williamson employ in the guise of p'o-' ducers, stage-managers, ballet mispress, electricians, mechanics', and scenic artists have ever been able to conjure up for the fleUght of a big holidny audience. •'The Sleeping Beauty" was the story chosen—the legend beloved of all healthyminded children and even grown-up 3. We had old King Pompos in the capable hands of that dry comedian, George ■Welch, and an excellent damn, by name Mrs. Spoopendyke, impersonated by the ' quaintest of humourists, Marriott Edgar. When these two got together the fun was fast and furious. These comedians were ably backed by the brothers Egbert, jesters of,the first cmler, who played the roles of Bill and Walter, court servants. If the spring' cleaning scene with the l)ame is a scream, the golfing scene and duel is a riot. No kiddie, old or young, Fhould miss it. Princess Beauty (Miss Eve Lynn) lives up to her name. We • seldom remember a sweeter or more winsome pantomime princess. Her Prince {Winifred Soma) is a great, big, dashing . ''broth of a boy," and well in the picture all the time. One of_ the mest beautiful and wonderful scenes in the whcHe show ie the fox and pheasant descriptive dance, by Maggie Dickinson, and her- dancing partner, the agile and graceful Sidney Culver. The ballet work was a revelation. The children, too, are. wonderful, ond get a lot of dancing to do, and Fcem to enjoy it., 'The box plana for the first ■ six nights and first matinee (Saturday

next) are now open at the Bristol.

FOR INDIGESTION GET DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. One of the direct causes'of ill-health is indigestion, and this -arises most often from eating unsuitable diet, and bolting food without sufficient mastication. Thus food, instead of being quickly digested and converted into nourishing, health-giving blood, becomes e. fermenting mass, giving rise.to flatulence and forming poisons. Headaches, depression, lack of _ appetite, and the torture of dyspepsia are signs that tho stomach has lost tone 'aid is being wrongly dieted.
