ENTERTAINMENTS

MAY ALLISON AT EVERYBODY’S. One of tlio most popular photoplayers of to-day, May Allison, is the might particular star for this midweek at the Oddfellows’ Hall in “Big Game.” It is an outback v. city life, and the plot is all that the title suggests. The merry hall boys will be seen in one of their slap-stick comedios, “Tell Us, Onija” (a spiritism motive). “South Sea Magic” is tlio subject of tlie Bruce travelogue, and there is also a Topical Budget. “LIVING LONDON” AT THE LYCEUM. Ilavo you been to tlio Empire’s rub? Then renew acquaintance with it—see “Living London” at the Lyceum to-night or on Thursday. Do you hope to visit the greatest city in history? Then go see “Living London.” _ Our returned soldiers will appreciate seeing the wonder city on the screen. It is in five parts, and depicts the heart of the Empire from evory angle—its historic buildings, its industries, its beauty spots, and the palpitating life of its people, its palaces, and poorhouscs, its wealth and poverty, its work and its play. You can see Smithfield Meat Market, Society in Rotten Bow, tlio Ascot Boyal Cup, and the amazing traffic in the streets. This is without question the finest series of views of London ever presented. The big photoplay on the same programme is “Wives and Other Wives,” starring Mary Miles Minter, a delightful comedy drama. It is one of her typical stories—clean, wholesome, and delightful, and tlio plot concerns the efforts of a young bride to make her husband jealous.

THE ALSACE CO. TO-MORROW. To-morrow, and again on Friday and Saturday, in tho Drill Hall, Mr Louis Alsaco presents his classical vaudeville company, headed by tlio Ilev. Papakura, who recently returned from a concert tour of America. The programme) consists of vocal and instrumental items, opening with a pianoforte solo, tho “March Hongroise,” played in an accomplished manner by Miss Marei Coloni, who algo acts as oceompaniste. The Rev. Papakura in AVellington received enthusiastic encores for Ills “Elcgic,” “Lowland Sea,” and a war timepiece, “Kamate.” Madame Reno Te An opens with Chaminade’s “L’ete,” her splendid soprano voice reaching the highest notes without the slightest difficulty, while the clearness of tone is exceptional. A triple encore awards this artiste. Mr Alsace is still very successful with his violin solos, whilo ho gets hearty encores for his efforts on the Alsaccphono, an instrument of his own construction. Sketches from married life, “After tho Honeymoon” and “Telling Your Wife a Story,” arranged by William Bayloy and played by and with Joan E. Croyd and Paul Rozolla, prove very amusing. Priscilla Greene is successful with “Dear Little Jammy Face,” and other merry monologues. The box plans are at Barrett’s.
