ENTERTAINMENTS.

ORCHESTRAL CONCERT

Last night the Philharmonic Orchestra gave a concert in the Drill Hall to a fairly large audience. Tho programme was well rendered, the, orchestral selections 'being particularly good. Out of the five given, tho best was perhaps the vivacious "Apple Brossoms." Mr A. E. Brown (Wanganui) gave several fine songs iv robust tenor, Mr J. Nuttall, besides helping Mr Brown./ in a duet, sang well as a tenor soloist; Miss Reid, though palpably suffering from a bad throat, courageously fulfilled her promise to "help, giving a topical parody on. "Tipperary" as one of her pieces, Mr Sheriff's elocutionary items were' well received, and Mr C. Stanley Brown gave a capital violin solo. Mr 'A. M. Ongley (Mayor) explained that the" proceeds were to go to the fund for wounded soldiers. LYCEUM THEATRIC Something right out of the ordinary is promised at the Lyceum Theatre for the week-end in tho way of a stupendous aud costly scenic drama of the South African jungle, entitled "In Tune with the Wild."' This Selig masterpiece, which is the most expensive animal subject ever brought to this country, is abounding in thnilling situations, and in many cases the kiucmatograph operator spoilt days, and sometimes weeks, perched up in a tree, waiting for an opportunity to photograph these denisons in their natural habits. Stalking roaring lions, cunning slinking leopards, huge unwieldy, elephants, crashing through the forest glades are wonderfully depicted. Those who witness this big new spectacular two-reel production can readily imagine themselves to be actual participants in the story. A scenic which is almost unparalleled iv photo dramas, occurs in the second reel, when Captain Jones, an English hunter, shoots and kills two lions. The picture is filled with jungle beasts and thrilling incidents,! and a splendid story in unfurled through its 3000 feet. * The supporting items are many, and include a charming train trave Iscenic, "Through Brandenburg;" a bright and merry Marguerite Fisher comedy, entitled, "A Suspended Ceremony." The noted A.8." Company are represented with a delightful costume play, " When Kings were Law," while our old friend Wiffles, that sparkling French comedian, will convulse you in :'• Wiffles' Sad Mistake." There is a great number of the Gaumont War Graphic, and the Vitagraph comedians are in. their happiest vein in " Tho Stenographer." This record bill will bo presented to-night and twice to-morrow. Don't miss it. HUGARD'S MYSTERIES. " Thero are more things in .heaven and earth than aro dreamt of in your, philosophy," say s an immortal writer, and Hugard's performance brings home very forcibly the truth of this phrase. His performance rivets tho attention, and watch as you will you cannot sec how the miracles are performed. Supporting this great performer aro several artists new to B'cilding, and include Miss Myra Grriiigton (soprano and instrumentalist). Madame Carroll, and Chivalli and his clever dog Sport in a novelty balancing and juggling act. Miss Millie Clare is a charming comedienne and has an original mauuo via deliverng her snogs. The "Kaiser parodies arc exceedingly funny. Ching Sung Loo is presenting the . higgest and most gorgeous act of its kind that has toured tho country, and it is full of and magical surprise's. The company-open at the Drill Hall on Tuesday, June 8. lj> is safe to anticipate a- big house for such a clover combination.
