ORGAN RECITAL.

Lovers of organ music were given, a musical treat on Saturday evening, when Mr. Bernard Page gave an enjoyable lecital at the Town Hall. There was a large attendance, and appreciative, applause followed each item. The wellarranged programme included several interesting numbers, chief among which was the weird " Danse Macabre," by Saint-Saens. This work, written in 1874, and dedicated to Mme. Montigny Remaury, illustrates a legend in which Death wakes the skeletons in a churchyard at midnight with his violin. Tho piece was finely interpreted by the organist. "Concerto in D Minor," by Handel, was a beautiful and intricate number, and the charm of Willan's " Prelude and Fugue in C Minor " was thoroughly appieciated by the audience. Another item which found favour was " Benediction Nuptiale " by Saint-Saens, a characteristic and delightful work. Other numbers included, " Cansona " (Wolstenholme), "Savoyard Chant" (Wareing), and three movements of the "Deuvieme" suite by Boellniann. A special recital is announced foi G<xxl Friday 'evening, and a Wagneriafi recital has been ai ranged for Saturday, 18th April. THE NEW. THEATRE. A change of programme was screened at the New Theatre to-day. The moat important subject is the Eiko Company's . lengthy _ drama, "The Adventures of Three Nights." The hero is a handsome young tutor who becomes infatuated with a Countess. His love is reciprocated, and the two plan to elope.

The vision causes the tutor to change his plans. A number of attractive dramatic, comic, and scenic films are also shown. THE EMPRESS THEATRE. "Stanton's Last Fling," an exciting dramatic "feature" by the Edison Company, constitutes the leading attraction of to-day's new programme at the Empress Theatre (continuous pictures).
