AMUSEMENTS.

WIDE-WORLD PICTURES. Nothing better in the way of picture shows could be wished for than the entertainment nightly provided at the Princess Theatre. This week's bill, an exceptionally good one among, the marry good ones wo have seen, is drawing big business to the firm's High street house. The pomp and circumstance of Indian government are presented in a splendid cinematogram showing the Viceroy of India entering Lncknow. 'Ski-jumping in Crrristiairia' is another fine film, and there are a dozen more all worthy of mention and prodigal of fnn. The same programme is announced for to-night. WEST'S PirrrURES. To-night West's season at His Majesty's Theatre will close, lyst night there was" a large audience to witness the change of bill. The head-line film is a fantastic one, oh the lines somewhat of that popular picture 'A Trip to tlve Sun.' It is a splendid film. 'A Voyage on the Nile' ie interesting pictorially and historically, and 'Fountains at Versailles' is of ' great beauty, a feast of color. The season has deservedly been a successful one, and a big liouse may he predicted for the closing performance. 'THE RED MILL.' . To-mc-Trow even in 2. at His Majesty's Theatre, J. C. Williamson's Musical Comedy Company will present the much-talked-of Dutch musical play, 'The Red Mill.' A play of merry, clever nonsense, lavishly costumed, with splendid scenic effects, and embellished by much tuneful music, ' The Red Mill' as' a 'merrv-maker is said to completely fill the bill. 'Of the principals Mr John Ford (eccentric American comedian) and Clurles Loder, together with Fred Leslie (of Royal Comic Onera fame), are reported to make the fun fast and furious. Miss Olive Godwin is credited with having several beautiful numbers, prominently amongst which is ' The legend of the mill.' This sung to a weird accompaniment of orchestra and - chorus is said to have a peculiarly mysterious effect. Mhs Marie Eaton (a new-comer with a highly-trained poprano voice), Miss Ivy Scott, Miss Alice Mitchell, and Miss Ada, Stirling are included in a sfcong and lengthy cast of ladies. A complete operatic chorus under the direction of Mr Alfred Moreton will dispense the music, whikt an operatic chorus and ballet will leud valuable assistance. 'The Red Mill.' owing to the enforced limited duration of the season can oiily be played for the first three nights, and will be followed on Saturday next, by another musical played new to Dnnedir*-^' The Prince of Pilsen.' The box plan at the Dresden is shewing splendid advance booking over the entire season. KAIKORAI BAND. The next of the series of biograph concerts by the Kaikorai Band will be held at Carisbrook to-morrow night. A specially attractive lot of pictures will be shown.
