ENTERTAINMENTS THE DANDIES.

The season of Tho Dandies comes to a close to-night, and it was probably with a desire to see as much as possible of these clever entertainers that a large audience attended last evening. Tho laughter-creating efforts of the versatile j members of the company were highly successful, and applause was most generously bestowed. To-night a "request" programme will be submitted as a farewell entertainment. The items will include the most popular contributions of the season, and it is anticipated that the attendance will be a record. Dates of the country tour of the Dandies are advertised in this issue. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. There was a large attendance at His Majesty's Theatre last evening, and the various performers were woll received. The Lamys, a clever troupe of acrobats, present daring feats, and Deave's Merry Mannikins are responsible for plenty of fun. Miss Jessie Millar and Miss Dolly Millar, Johnny Small and the Small Sisters, the New York Quartette, Bevan and Flint, and Bay Lawrence all help to contribute to a bright entertainment. There will be a change of programme on Monday. "THE VULTURE OF GOLD." A special attraction, "The Vulture of Gold," is announced to appear with the new programme af. the Empress Theatre on Monday. It is represented in the plot that Eudore, a miserly old woman, is the guardian of the widowed Marchioness of Hulston and her little son. Eudore catches Griff, a swell criminal, breaking into the house, and she plans with him to carry off tho Marchioness and her son, so that Eudore shall get their money Grifi returns with two confederates on the night of a children's party, and carries off the Marchioness and the boy in a motor-car. A letter is left behind stating that the mother and her child have been kidnapped to avenge an old family vendetta. The two prisoners are taken to Griff's country house, and all efforts by the police to find them are ineffective. Some nights later Jean Moselle, a blind artist, wanders from his house and loses his way. He accidentally finds himself entering a house which proves to be Griff's. Shortly before this the Marchioness's son, in endeavouring to escape, falls from the roof of the house and is taken into the sitting-room by Griff. Subsequently Jean opens a door and accidentally releases the Marchioness, wlip leaves a portion of her scarf in his hands as she rushes past him in the darkness. Griff recaptures the Marchioness, ar«d he then discovers tho stranger. Next morning the arfcißt is found by his servant, and the blind painter makes a vow that if he recovers his sight he will solve tho mystery of that night. His sight > is eventually restored, and he keeps his vo.w. I "EVERYBODY'S PICTURES." The Opera House on Monday night opens its doors at 7 o'clock as a. first-class i continuous picture theatre. Its first screening will be the special "star" ieature, chosen for the occasion, entitled '"Orders Under Seal." This fine picture is 60u0ft'long and takes one hour and a-half to untold. It is a film whioh for sustained interest, fine photogiaphy, unique original effects, and really human acting would be hard to surpass. Briefly tho story is this: Wa.r is in the air. Upon its declaration ilear-Admiral Van Hou yen arranges the order of attack and hands over the sealed orders relating thereto to his son. l''rom this point there axe rapid twirls of fortune's wheel. Through an extremely tragic train of i events the tealed orders lall into tho hands of a spy. He copies them and sends them by carrier pigeon to his owti chief. The pigeon, hov\ ever, is shot by a Government otticer and the treachery discovered. The Rear-Admiral suspects his son. The young fellow is courtmartialled and ordered to be shot. How the execution is delayed by the prisoner's little boy is one of the exciting episodes of the play. The 7 o'clock session will finish about 8.46, and the second com monce almost immediately thereafter. On Tuesday and every day thenceforward pictures will be screening continuously from 12 (noon) until 10.30 p.m. An orchestra will accompany all afternoon and night screenings. THE KING'S THEATRE. To-night at The King's Theatre the programme current will be screened for the last time. The series includes a very tine Pathe drama, "The Curse of War."
