ENTERTAINMENTS.

■ — p OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT. “THE HUNTED WOMAN. ’’ Plenty of thrills were enjoyed by those who went to the Opera House last night to witness the William Pox presentation of James Oliver Curwood’s stirring story “The Hunted Woman,” in which Seena Owen and Earl .Sellenck divide leading honours. Eights, an explosion, mountain vistas of rare grandeur, and a surprising climax furnished much entertainment. The supports include another of. the clever Van Bibber comedies entitled “The Guest of Honour,” Pox News and Industrial, “Making Perfume.” The prices are as usual. GRAND THEATRE—TO-NIGHT. “NORTH OP 36.” The story of “North of 36,” which was written by Emerson Hough, author of “The Covered Waggon,” has for its basic theme a huge pioneer cattle drive from South-eastern Texas to Abilene, Kansas. In this drive are over four thousand genuine long-horn steers, Featured in the cast of “North of 36” are Jack Holt, Ernest 'Torrence, _Lois Wilson and Noah Beery. SISTINE CHOIR SOLOISTS. CONCERT IN HAWERA. Much interest is evinced in the announcement that the new combination of soloists of the celebrated Sistine Choir will give a concert in the Ojpera House, Hawera,, on Friday, 18tli inst. The soloists recently completed a remarkably successful season at the Sydney Town Hall, where they gave eighteen successive performances. The new party was organised in Rome about twelve months ago by Maestro Casolari for a tour of the United States, which duly proved most, successful. With the exception of Signor Sarti, the party, as a present constituted, is identical with that wliieh achieved such a triumph in America. A feature of the new programmes, is the presentation, in elaborate period costumes, of old Italian madrigals, motetes and scenes from the very earliest operas. In addition there is the usual selection of excerpts from modern grand opera, folk songs and* ballads, for which the soloists are famous. -The particular bright star of the company is Amedeo Burani, a young baritone with a voice of tremendous volume and magnificent quality. ROLLER SKATING. The second game of the hockey tournament was played last night between the Ramblers and.the Rovers, the former winning by 4 goals to 3. This makes the second win for the Ramblers. A new team (Wanderers) has been formed and will meet the Pink Imps on Monday night.
