ENTERTAINMENTS.

KING’S THEATRE; HASTINGS.

The King’s Theatre, Hastings* was packed to the doors last evening, Excellent pictures were screened, and each was highly appreciated. The star drama, “ The Mohawk’s Way,” was an intensely exciting story, and was loudly applauded. Other grand dramas’were “The Adopted Daughter,” ‘;£he Peacemaker,” and “ Muggins, V.C.” Pathe’s Animated Gazette was extremely interesting, and received a warm welcome. “ The Valley of Aosta” and “Pearl Fishing in Australia” were fine scenic subjects, the snow scenes inthe former being most beautiful. “ Fool ahead in the Lion’s Cage/* “ Tontolini’s Bet,*” and “Affectionate Pets” were screaming comics, and all three made a decided hit. The Havelock ’bus will run an usual this evening. CATHEDRAL ORGAN RECITAL Those who attended the organ recital given in the Napier Cathedral by Mr. Horace G.

Williamson will present, his new comic opera company in Dr. Leo Fall’s comic opera, “ The .Dollar Princess” following im- ' mediately upon the heels of “ The Merry Widow,” “ The Dollar ti hicess ” had a somewhat difficult task to enlist successful popularity. It has 'been said that seldom has anything so musicianly or so dignified been written during the past fifty years in the domain of comic opera as “ The Dollar Princess.” The company is an unusually strong one, and comprises Misses; • Florence Young, Olive Godwin, j Lottie Sargeant. Messrs., Reginald Roberts, Langford Kirby, Herbert | Clayton, Frank Greene, W. 8. i Percy, Victor Prince, and Bert GilI bert, The season is limited to one night. The box plan will be opened at Hall’s on Saturday. It would appear that the forthcoming attraction is of the very best that j Mr. J. C. Williamson has toured; I for many years. Away from the j undoubted excellence of the opera, the names associated on the coming occasion are second to none in. Australia.
