ENTERTAINMENTS.

"WITH THE FIGHTING FORCES OF

EUROPE."

" With the Fighting Forces of Europe " drew large numbers of people to His Majesty's Theatre yesterday, both at the matinee in the afternoon and again at the evening performance. The films give an excellent idea of ;he armies of tho allies. Interesting and instructive, the value of the pictures is enhanced by the fact that they portray in colours the varied uniforms of the soldiers. The naval portion of the films is particularly interesting, and conveys a vivid impression of the strength of the world's fighting ships- " With the Fighting Forces of Europe" will be shown again to-night.

OPERA HOUSE. The current programme of vaudeville at the Opera House is a very attractive one, and there were large audiences at the matinee and evening performance.
