The events in the [flay take place on the little island of .Jupat, where a young lawyer is sene by his firm to safeguard tne interests of the natives in some trouble arising from the will of the owners of the island. But there lie finds things complicated by the presence of a young y visitor, and he finds himself in- \ olved, through no fault of lus own, in a most strenuous and exciting campaign against the interests ot his clients. This feature wilj be supported oy a two-reel comedy, a scenic, and latest Pat he Gazette. The prices are as usual. J. C. WILLIAMSON VAUDEVILLE. A TALENTED COMPANY. The extraordinary variety of attractions included in the remarkably good company of entertainers presented by the New Zealand Entertainers was ample assurance that the audience in the Opera House last night would enjoy an evening of mirth, music, thrill, and dancing such as is rarely given in Hawera. This was abundantly proved to the satisfaction of the large audience. It was a. really, excellent company that faced the footlights, and every item presented was as good in its class as could be wished. The audience showed their hearty appreciation unmistakably throughout the evening, and nil the performers were recalled at the conclusion of each act. The Versatile Three, with songs, trios, banjo, saxaphone.and piano, gave a really wonderful and clever performance. Their versatility was remarkable* and their artistic work of a very high order. They are a trio of talented performers, whose every number was capital, and they were recalled time after time, a proof of their popularity While each number was very good, nothing perhaps attracted more than their vocal trios, and especially theii singing of the old-time Negro Spiritual —it was altogether good. The dancing of Jack Hooker and Dorothy Seaward in varied characters, the musical comedv of Ethel Newman, and of Harden and Nevard, the comic numbers of the Four Ortons, the singing of Violet Lester and the excellent orchestral items bv Mr Frost’s iazz orchestra, these were all very much appreciated by the whole house. Two of the cleverest items on the programme, forming an excellent contrast dwith the other items, were the juggling, tricks of Felovis, assisted, by Jeanne Allen, and the-astounding act of tile Daros equilibrists from one of the leading shows at Home. These served to form a combination of acts that delighted everyone in the house and proved to be one of the best shows of its kind seen in Hawera. 1 It was altogether a most amusing and interesting performance. EMPRESS PICTURES, MAN AT A. TONIGHT. TO-NIGHT. ‘‘THE SEA HAWK.” The people of Manaia and district will have the opportunity to-night of seeing the final screening of the world’s masterpiece, “The Sea Hawk,” the picture every New Zealander owes it to himself to see. The greatest gift of the silver sheet —the photoplay that will live in the memory while memory remains—the great crashing work of genius that has amazed the Englishspeaking world. Never to he forgotten this tale of “a love that man could not part nor seas divide.” The verdict of Saturday night’s huge audience: “The best vet.” Patrons are advised to be early to-night.
