YOUNG AUSTRALIA LEAGUE.

Next Wednesday, in the Town Hall, Lord and Lady Bledisloe will attend the concert to be given by the boys of the Younß Australia League. The party returns to Wellington on Wednesday after a successful tour of the North Island. In Chrlstchurch the enthusiasm was so great that the greatest crowd ever seen to the Gardens was present when the V.A.L. boys assisted the local bands to go to the Dunedln contest. At the Theatre Koyal hundreds were turned away, so great was the demand for seats. The tour ot the Dominion has been extended a weelt, so that, instead of leaving Wellington for Sydney, as was the first arrangement, the party will now leavo Auckland on Friday, lTth February. Next Friday they go to Masterton, then to Pahncrston for the weekend, and on to Wanganui and New Plymouth. The programme to be presented on the return visit contains many new Items and some of the old favourites. In the latter case, many requests have been received for the presentation of the most popular numbers on tho original programme, and where possible the requests will be complied with. Prices have been reduced to 2s and la, so that even greater popularity for the Y.A.I/, boys should be experienced. There-will be a matinee on Wednesday at 2.30, and the final concert will take place on Thursday evening. The plan is at The Bristol,

MAJESTIC THEATRE. The story of "The Last Coupon," at the Majestic Theatre, Is centred in a Yorkshire coal-mining town where Leslie Fuller, the well-known comedian, who has tho star part, Is employed as a miner. The scenes relating to the family life of a Yorkshire miner are truthfully portrayed, and the continuous flow of nativo wit is given a finishing touch by the famous county dialect in which it is rendered. One of tile first scenes shows Leslie Fuller at work in one of the pits. The photography hero is excellent, but the scene changes and he is brought to the surface, where one meets hundreds of typical Yorkshire miners engaged, of course. In arguments as to tho respectlvo merits of football teams. On arriving home at tho conclusion of his day' 3 work, Leslie startles the town with the announcement that he has won a £20.000 football competition. His sub.sequent adventures form the main part of the story.
