AMUSEMENTS.

THE ROYAL HAWAIIAN'S. The Royal Hawaiins gave their promised conceit in the ’town Hall last night to a somewhat scanty audience, this no doubt being attributable to their coming so soon after the dearlet 'iioubaaours, and also too fact that a number from this district propose proceeding to Palmerston on Friday to hear the Sheffield Choir. The entertainment was certainly unique, and many of the items were genuinely encored. The singing of “Annie Laurie” by eight male voices to a now setting was no doubt one of the best items. .“My Rosary” (solo and chorus) was highly appreciated. A feature of the entertainment was that each performer was provided with a mandolin or a guitar, and there can he no question tnat the Hawaiins have thoroughly mastered these instruments, and the audience was favoured with some capital music therefrom. T/so Hula dance by two maidens, to the weird accompaniment of musical instruments and male voices, brought the outeitammout to a close. HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.

At Bernard’s Permanent Theatre skating will hold the lloor again tonight To-morrow night the usual change of pictures will take the screen. Some very fine dramatic subjects arc to ho shown. “Napoleon at Saragrossa” is a very exciting picture, snowing the storming of tnc forts and also the blowing-up of the churchesby the monks rather than be taken in captivity. A most funny set of comic films includes “Fat Jack and Jim Slim” who are tired of being kept indoors and make up their minds to “shoot, the chutes,” etc., etc., at New York’s favourite pleasure resort, Coney Island. Another great educational picture entitled “Water under the Microscope” is most interesting, as showing germs which it is impossible for the naked eye to see. This should be seen by one and all. The programme also includes the following gems of art: “Effecting a Cure,” “Davy Jones’ Troubles,” “A Life for a Life,” “Langford the Pugilist,” “Excursions into Brcttanny ” “A Thrilling Story,” also “Coming the Lengthy.” Star pictures arc “Thunderbolt,” “The Bushranger,” and the Coronation of our King. WEST’S PICTURES. The series of pictures to be submitted by this popular company in the Town Hall ce-m.-ti.*w night au- of the first order. Some line dramas will he 1 screened, and a notable feature in one of these is the clever acting of two children —one practically a baby. The story is a very pretty one, showing how a ruined man was saved by two children, and has good cause to call them his “Little Angels of Luck.” “The Half-breed’s Treachery,” is another lino cowboy him, in which the wild adventurous life of the West is seen at its best. “The Champion Swordsman of Britain” is sure to be appreciated. The feats ofytiie gallant major arc really wonderful—ribbon, ’lace, lead, paper, and the whole carcase of a sheep falling beforehis skill in quick succession. The comic element is very strong—“ After tlie Ball” (a biograph comedy), “An Escape of Gas,” and “All’s Fair in LoVe l or War,” being bound to cause much laughter. The usual popular prices will prevail.
