ENTERTAINMENTS.

ANOTHER BIG PROGRAMME AT HAYWARD'S. One of the biggest arid strongest programmes ever shown in the Zealaffdia Hall is promised for to-night's change, when in addition to an excellent him by Mr Newham of the stranded Indrabarah,ten other higiir class importations will be shown. The star film will be "The Weaker Vessel,"'•described as a masterpiece of Parisian iife and magnificent mountain scenery. A bull-light is introduced therein, with startling reality. Miss Turner will again be in evidence, this time in an exciting drama, "The Signal of Distress." The last Oxford-Cambridge boat race, when the former won by. a "head" after a desperate finish, will be vividly pictured. A sweetly pretty film of a Japanese garden will be shown. "Brains veisus Brawn" is a rollicking Thanhouser comedy, and "What's in a Name" (Lubin). i-nd "The Dandy" (Vitagraph), are similar types. Then there will bo the latest Gaumont Graphic, and a charming French Scenic.! and also a thrilling Edison.drama. Hay.-: 'ward's are certainly sparing no expense to rgive their patrons of the very host that j money can buy. THE STRANDED INDRABARAH. A capital film of the stranded steamer I Indrabarah, by Mr Chas. F. Newham, will be shown at Haywards' to-night. According ! to the Wanganui Chronicle, never nas Mr Newham turned out a better picture. T t gives one just as good an idea of how the steamer is placed as if one were on thie spot Photographically, the picture could not Ik; surpassed. It gives views of the Indrabar.m 1 from ail positions. It shows the sandy. tussocky hills, which fringe the sea coast, and one can form, a very good idea of how far the steamer is away. The waves are seen rebounding off the broad iron side. and yet through it all the big steamer seemed to be lying quite peacefully with the smoke rising lazily from the funnel. Some interesting views are given of the improvised tent and the members of the crew who came ashore. The gallant Adcock, who saved two live*, is also shown, though he only casts a disgusted look at the camera and then goes on with his business. The manner in which the messages s.re sent to the steamer, the sailors carrying 'water half a mile, the lifeboat which was washed ashore, and other interesting snapshots are shown. The old Fusilier, wrecked 29 year* ' ago. now lies high and dry. and will be there for another half century. The picture is decidedly interesting, and should prove a good draw. CONGREGATIONAL SOCIAL. At the Congregational schoolroom this evening a competition and musical evening will be held. There will be refreshments, and a stall for the sale of work and produce. A pleasant evening is anticipated. TO-NIGHT'S SKATING CARNIVAL. Arrangements are well in hand for the skating carnival to be held at the Olympia Rink to-night in aid of All Saints' Church building fund, and given fine weather the fete should be a huge success. Fancy skating will be a big item of the evening's programme, and best of all will be the poster competition, in which many humorous characters and quaint originalities are promised. Many trophies have been donated _ for competition in the posters and the rivalry for first place should produce some remarkable costumes. A refreshment department has been arranged for. As accommodation has been provided for a large number of spectators, and &s t hecarnival is in aid of a worthy object. the gathering should be entirely' successful. Woodfield's 'bus will leave Terrace End at 6.40 and again at 7.20 this evening for the convenience of those wishing to attend the carnival.
