AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE. A whirling melodrama of strenuous acting is Sapper’s “Bulldog Drummond,’’ which has been adapted to the screen, and will be presented at the Opera House to-ndght. One of the most intriguing features is the novelty of its action and the surprise finish. A plot somewhat akin to the ultra-sensational “Sherlock Holmes” stories, concerning a gang of international “crooks,” into whose hands a rich young man— G. Travers—has fallen, is unfolded wlith not a little dexterity. Edmund Lowe w(ill be seen at the Opera House to-night as Robert Loring in “Champion of Lost Causes,” a hairraising story of mystery that never clears until the startling revelations that the master mind of a mythical mysterious murder - syndicate and a handsome young man of fashion are on© and the same. Also the second series of stereosopiks. Come and be thrilled by the world’s greatest novelty film.

f k DUNEDIN EXHIBITION ® (Per Presi Association.) > DUNEDIN, March 9. 1 The two-millionth visitor to the Exhibition passed through the turnstiles e about 6.30 this evening. A crowd of t several thousands congregated inside r the gates- greeting with loud yells a y well-known side showman in the f Amusement Park and others famous i in other spheres as they hurried b through a lane maintained by police b outside. The queue extended far up a the street. Yet, at least one small boy r must have ducked under those in . front of him ,and had six tries for the 1 gold watch, which the directors had 3 purchased for the lucky visitor.

The first watch given to the millionth visitor was claimed by a lady I from Invercargill, and the second was / presented about 6.50 this evening to ’ Mrs. Morrison, Hampton House, Le Cren’s Terrace, Timaru, wife of Com- ' mander G. Morrison, late of the Royal Navy. To-day is the ninety-sixth day of the

Exhibition, and every day’s attendance till May 1, when the Exhibition will jclose, will add to a new Dominion record whidh the Exhibition has already set, f,s the Christchurch record of 1,967,632’was passed on Saturday. As there are still four days and seven weeks to go, the grand total on May Ist should be a good deal nearer three millions than two. It was Mrs. Morrison’s third visit to the Exhibition.
