A film Of the mighty deep. lioth unquiet and angry mood should-therefore prove particularly interesting. Of i items "The Trouser Button and tho Brace _ 1 is ilescribed (is being.a;''regular fcreanier. Tho latest Graphic, ,noted r Jor very fine photography, wilt figure in .the hew programme, .while .interesting views of'the vintage -industry, will also be shown, ; , ;;.:.;. ; -;Cullers* pictures.

■'- There is "the..usual'complete change_of programme .to-night-afeEullcrs', .comprising a very'fine collection of good,-new subjects, including; two: very 7 interesting and , amusing comedies, .each vIOOO feet., in length, entitled "A Cure for Jealousy and "Daisy Cowboys." The former shows the novel'manner in'which a lady cured .her. husband, who was unreasonably joalous ot the doctor. The latter is keen American humour, of which the real cowboys .are so very fond. Those who saw "The Dude Cowboy" will have a very good idea ot what to expect from this cowboy comedy masterpiece, which, i? a Production, of lie Edison Company. ''The. Mender of Nets ,is one of the prettiest, films the American . Biograph have yet produced.. The natural, beauties of a rugged coast are made he fullest use of.; :Miss:Mnry the charming and versatile actress, as Ino , Mender of .Nets," is seen in ono-of-*er finest delineations in this tangled mesh of life's nets. "What forte Ordained is _ a lisht drama, very amusingly telling ot the various-dreams of,lovers parted by pov6rtv and provokes much merriment, ine Boafer" "is a very-good Western :drama, showing, how.they cured .a man of chronic la?.ine S s.'/rhe latest "London Gazette will ■nrove as'Hntcrcsting as usual. There is also a 'remarkably good scenic, and two : comics. ;';;• ■. ' > . • PICTURES AND-VAUDEVILLE. the QpoWHoiise picture, arid vaudevjlh? . was 'shown before a Urge' audi-Iheedu-Saturday:.evening. rtint was one ; in. which the interest .was maintained from ;sf art to finish, Especially:. exciting was the biograph: representation of the cowboy arid Indian celebration ..at • Cheyenne, a film that will be shown for the last time to-night. .The climax of Saturday night's performance .was the final tor the cup presented to-tho. best;rider : of the bucking pony. The;, contestant .;werc r Doreen, McLcod, Hcnery, and the prize went to Doreen, who had kept his seat for threo: and-a-half seconds, ionight the rider who stays longest in jfiio saddle will receive a cash prize.. The Carlos trio of juvenile wire-walkers anU the . clever jiu-jitsu artists, Gardiner .and-,,Le Mar will, also make their-, farewell appearance. JThovpicture fbill;;includes;two;newand ■■s;f'rlingf dramas. '.' '? THE NORWOODS. < • •■To-morrow night and on Wednesday arid Thursday at the lhe ' Norwoods arid Von Arx Huge Combined Shows will re-appear. The Honolulu Bulletin says:—"Beyond the .okinary are the Norwoods. For- once tho Honolulu playgoers have something strictly-, original 'in the way of hypnotic suggestion in the Norwoods show at the Orpherim, something'in which 'fake: has. - no- part. It is not a trick where the .hand is quicker than the eye,'but an act iri'.which suggestion is the alpha : and omega of the;performance. Aside from the great scientific' test tovwhich Professor.Norwood put his capable col-. ' league, "Miss Norwood, there is so much fun that it provides-an explanation for light houses in other places of amusement/ :ThereVere nineteen ; separate tests for the young lady,: and every one was successful. In the nineteen tests the professor assured his'audience there were" one hundred different pictures which he must cafry in his mind, and transfer to the-lady's. Such, things as moving the hands of a watch .'-up an hour; untying a four in hand,and tying the cravat into a bow; 1 taking a'ring from 'the hand of one person in the audience and putting it on a specified • finger, of another person were among the tests. Another was taking-one of .'tie business office staff of the Advertiser 'from'lus.chair.'iiv the orchestra and placing him; in the centre of the stage .where he seemed to be as comfortable as when he gets a refusal from a:maii;to. whom he has- gone to collect abiil; There seems to be;no : .question in • the niinds of" those who go to this entei-tainirient night afteivnight that it is. a source of genuine amusement. The Hughes' Opera Company'did not-com-pare-in the matter of chorus.-girls-with those imaginary young operatic performers, on the stage at the Orpheum tinder hypnotic control." The box plan for the return season at Palmerstori North is at Andrew Millar's.
