AMUSEMENTS.

MR SCOTT BESBIE. The rise of the society entertainer, like that of the star vocalist and the majority of artists who attain eminence, is on a gradual scale. Mr Scott-Beslie recounts how he was accustomed to regale his friends with quaint stori.es and character studies in a modest sort of way. One day his friends said, Why don’t you tell your stories in public and 'make money out of “That gave me an inspiration, says Mr Beslie, “so I started a show of my own. It was not all plain sailing at first, but I extended my field of operations, and added to my experience. Success followed, until I found myself in the happy position of being able to choose my engagements. ’ ’ The press notices of Mr Scott Beslie’s work are highly eulogistic. The Sydney Morning Herald says:—“Mr Scott Beslie s humorous sketches are remarkable in character throughout, while his pathos is wonderfully true. His character studies must be recognised as masterpieces of studied dramatic art ’ ’ Mr Oliver Farrow, a baritone well-known throughout the _ Dominion, and the Mi sses I- 1, Knight, soprano, and Daisy JjEvans, pianist, will appear in support of Mr Scott Beslie at Marton Town Hall on Thursday evening next.- The plan is now open at Mogndgo’s.

BYOEUM PICTURES. TO-MORROW RIGHT. Again Marton picture-lovers will have an opportunity of witnessing a special treat in the way of cinematographic entertainment. The Byceum Picture Company have secured a very fine programme. The star attraction will be “AYvOman’s Way, a magnificent drama, detailing how a woman was the means of saving a banker from disgrace and ruin. The story is full of power and pathos, the final scene being intensely dramatic, and breathing with human interest. “A Woman’s Way” has made a great impression wherever it has been shown. The remaining films; include gems of the picture world and latest in drama, comedy and scenic. The Australian Gazette has always something new and fresh to unfold. “The Girl Deputy,” Kalem drama; “Sara Jevo” and “Ronneby, ” two Pathe sceuics; “Bibbi’s Revensge, ” dramatic; “Welcome Horae,” comic; “The Agouti,’’ educational; ‘ ‘The Jam Cupboard,” Edison comedy; ‘ ‘ Gaumont Graphic, ’ ’ * ‘ The Furs, A.B. ; “Magnetic Fluid,” comic.
