ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY’S The programme current at His Majesty’s this week continues to draw large audiences, who have been thoroughly pleased by the novelty and charm of the items presented. Lea Bau Malagas, the dainty Spanish dancers, are resjxmsible for a highly artistic “turn,” m which the romance of their race inspires every graceful movement. Much attention is also bestowed upon the Rosa Valerio sextette of tight-wire performers, who are exceedingly neat in their work. Sidney Bach and Charles Zoli as solo entertainers. are still among the favourites, and other performers of note are the Georgia Trio, Fern and Lizette, Carlton and Sutton, Agnes Rawes, George Rowley, and Tom Leonard. There will bo a repetition of the programme this evening. KING’S THEATRE. “The Miracle.” the attractive fea-ture-film at the King’s Theatre, continues to draw crowded 'houses, and the wonderful play is the subject of much interest. A feature of the production is the music which accompanies the picture, both the singing and instrumental work being excellent. Carnival scenes are shown in another film, and this, too, is a great attraction. There will be the usual matinee at 2 80 to-morrow, THE EMPRESS THEATRE. A creditable production by . the Kalem Company, the “feature” drama “A Shot in the Night,” is the principal item of the new programme presented at the Empress Theatre continuous pictures yesterday. Roger Trent, a wealthy widower, decided to marry a beautiful young society lady, but after their marriage his nine-year-old son plainly shows bis. dislike to his stepmother. The situation causes unhappiness in the home. One night the wife mistakes Roger for, a burglar and seriously wounds him with a revolver. While his life hangs in the balance, their mutual sorrow causes a bond of sympathy, between tha boy and his stoprootner, which removes the barrier which separated them. Roger recovers and happiness is restored. Among the remaining items are “Just Gold’’ (A.B. drama), “Temples of Karnak” (scenic), “A Pipe Foundry’ . (industrial) and comic numbers.
