AMUSEMENTS.

GROSSES BELLRINGERS AND PLAYERS. TOWN HALL—TO-NIGHT. • Judging from -the unusual amount of interest being Taken in the above Company’s entertainment this evening, it,, is safe to say that a large house will assemble to welcome our American ■ friends to Stratford, and their performance promises to cause more interest than the usual run of initerant companies do. . The fact that three of the party have appeared before Royalty, should be sufficient guarantee. Miss Nada Moret is a most capable and versatile artist, and to quote the words of the Gisborne Times:“Truly the best lady entertainer we have ever, heard. Her clever enunciation, sweet voice, clever stories and winning ways earned for her rounds upon rounds of genuine applause.”. Martinetti and Grossi are described as the greatest novelty artists. Other members of the party include, the World’s Trio of Pantbmimists an<jT Bellringers, who will introduce for the first time in Stratford their, aluminium Paradise chimes. Miss Flo Gardiner (soprano), Cecil Verne (humorist), and others also contribute an assist to present the evening’s amusement. All lovers of good singing and Bellringing should make an effort to be present, as such a change may not occur again for «. considerable time.HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. The members of the Stratford Football Club debated the other night the advisability, of ! presenting trophies to all-round players, last night no one would have hesitated in awarding the yellowest of , medals to the all-round programme that was screened at His Majesty’s Theatre to a very fair audience. There was a surprising . novelty about the whole performance, that fairly brought down, the house. Tontolini reads' 1 in- ancient history of a man having stopped the sup in its fiery course. In the actor’s dreams he is * equally successful. He walks onto a crowded street, waves his arms, ’ and the traffic comes to an immediate standstill. On the beach he petrifies a huge breaker rolling on towards the rocks. In an alley-way he plays strange tricks with a troupe of tumblers. He wakes up, and then con- ' tinues his pranks with natural results. The film is striking testimony of the untruth of the saying that the camera cannot lie. On© could hardly imagine anything more comical than the efforts of the little white ferret to get to the bottom of the water-jug, nor the desperate endeavours, of the otter to get a bhth in a washing basin. This little nature.study picture should commend itself to patrons, for it is a picture of a very .desirable class. Not long ago a film was screened which attracted considerable attention. . It was called the “Doomed Ship.” Now there is another one on the programme by the same company, this one entitled “The Collin Ship.” As an example of photography alone the picture is worth going a long wav to see. Apart from this it is an excellent picture, conspicuous for brilliant acting on the part of the principals. “At Jones’s Ferry,” and “By Aid of the Lariat,” are tip-top western dramas. “Weighed in the Balance” deals with a chemist, a coward ,a banker, and a bomb, in exciting fashion.

There are also several scenic films of the usual high standard. To-night this programme will be screened for the last time. For Thursday’s change a special treat is offered in the picture which shows the daring deed of the man who went over Niagara in a barrell. “The Diamond Gang,” “In Hot Lands,” and a “Trip to the Isle of Man,” are other films which are sure to be fully appreciated.
