PlayRoers will bo glaa to have a final opportunity to enjoy Ivan Menzies in his excellent characterisation of the Duke ot Plaza Toro in which he is highly amusing. Mr. Leo Darnton's splendid tenor voice will be heard for the last time in "Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes," ana tor the. final occasion Mr. Gregory Stroud will sing "Rising Early in the Morning." Miss Marie Bremner and Miss Mary Hotiiam sing and act charmingly as the wives of the gondoliers, and others whoso work stand out in "The Ciondollers" are John Italston, Evelyn Gardiner, Bernard Manning, and Maisie Ramsay. The company will doubtless bo accorded a good "send off" this evening.

ST. JAMES THEATRE. m ? be Tfl.? e drama of cou ™se and heroism, 'Men Like These." at the St. James Theatre, will be shown finally to-morrow night. It has met with unstinted approval from audiences at all sessions. It Is indeea a monument to the bravery of the men of H.M. Submarine Service. Commencing on Friday, Will Rogers, known as the most natural actor on the screen will be seen in his latest comedy role, "Ambassador Bill." "Ambassador Bill" is regarded by some people as an actual historical document of some importance. This, not because of anything dealt with in the plot, but because of the revelations it contains of the star's methods of diplomacy. In "Ambassador Bill" we see him as the rough but truly wise American ambassador who untangles the scrambled politics and royal loves of a glamorous little kingdom ruled by a boy king.. Shocking the snobbish hangers-on of the. court by his disregard; for court etiquette, he endears himself to the real human beings beneath the ermine. Seats may be reserved at the Bristol and also at the theatre.
