But there are many other subjects of interest, particularly the war films. Next week tiic public will have an opportunity of seeing Sir Herbert Tree in ‘Trilby.’ QUEEN'S THEATRE. A most enthralling detective story, ‘ The Woman With Red Hair, - is the great attraction on the Queen's Theatre new bill, but there are many films hardly less attractive —notably a Keystone comedy and the war gazettes. KING EDWARD THEATRE. A picture version of Max - Pemberton's novel ‘ Kronstadt ’ bulks largest on the current offering at the King Edward Theatre (South Dunedin). It makes splendidly exciting fare. ‘THE CLIMAX.’ Miss Florence Young, supported by Mr Claude Bantock, Mr Edmund Sherras, and Mr Reginald Roberts gave their second performance of ‘ The Climax,’ at His Majesty's Theatre last evening. Music and comedy are two strong features in the production. Miss Young and her talented company will appear for the last time to-night. PRINCESS THEATRE. “Tire Magpies,” the talented company of musical comedy artists now appearing at the Princess Theatre, delighted another large audience last evening. They supply the first part of the. entertainment. Antony the most notable of a notable set of performers appearing later in the evening are Shirley, a wonderful contortionist, and Rosa Lee Ivy, who possesses an excellent voice.
