AMUSEMENTS.

THE KING'S THEATRE. , "Ebb Tide", as the title of the j 'splendid Paramount production j 'screened at the King's Theatre on! i"Saturday night affords no indication! of the interesting and exciting! events with which the story abounds. The attendance at the Theatre; was more' encouraging to the roan-! agement to continue to provide j these gems of the screen than lias [been the case for some time and the advertisement that Satur- | day's programme is sure to gain for I the King's will likely lead to larger numbers of patrons in the future throughout the week. After the usual programme of sonic and topical films, Torchy's latest in the | series provided great amusement. I Johnny Hines makes acquaintance i with a baby, owing to a kidnapping incident, and what he doesn't know about babyland at the conclusion, when the kid is returned to Its parents - after a succession of screams, only the boys in the front seats could tell him. "Gog-gone Tor- • chy" is among the best of the series presented at-the King's to date. Film fans will be interested to know that four such stars as Lila Lee, James Kirkwood, Raymon Hatton, and George Fawcott, figure in the cast in "Ebb Tide." It is a I weird story of the sea. Three shipwrecked mariners, as hard as they i are made, after some experience, ! find themselves on a South Sea island, where a pearl, trader and his daughter are the only white people. "Here lie the bodies of a faithless wife and of a man who called him- , self her husband's friend. Venis mine," was the in- | scription on a tombstone amid the ! luxuriant native bush, as a warming to the three visitors. There is a riot of excitement amid a coloring of beatiful bush, pearl-fishing and its attendant danger from octopuses, hard drinkers at sea, a ship on fire, retribution at last, and the conquest jof a woman's love. See this pro- ! gramme to-night for the last time.

WALTER GEORGE REVUE i COMPANY. THE "SUNSHINE PLAYERS." There will always be a welcome for a combination like the "Sunshine Players," who are to appear at the Town Hall this evening. The l ( programme to be presented is entitled "The King of Dunnowhereski," la bright sparkling comedy which I has had long and most successful I runs in Australia and New Zealand. Good clean comedy is abundantly provided by three front rank comedians, amongst whom is Kennedy Allan—whose association' with the recent tour of the Ada Reeve comedy company, and with operas and revues, will be well and favourably remembered. Comedy is further j supplied by Frank IVToran, who h.is J also toured the Dominion with sevj eral prominent companies. The i "King of Dunnowhereski" contains | plenty of comedy keeping the audI ience in a constant simmer of .laughter, it is the uniform excellence of the performers, the mounj tings, the elaborate costumes, and the orchestra de luxe. that gives } the "Sunshine Players", a ion, and make 3 the performance so i attractive. The box plan is now {open at Grubb's. BALL AT ELTHAM.

Everything of the best is promised at the ball at Eltham on Monday next. "LAVENDER FAIR." j. The Lavender Fair, in the Salvation Army Hall, is to be officially ! opened at 2.45 o'clock to-morrow afternoon by the Mayor (Mr J W McMillan). A STITCH IN TIME. No kidney ailment in unimportant Don't overlook the slightest backache or urinary irregularity. Nature j may be warning you of approaching gravel, or serious kidney disease. Kidnev disease is seldom' fatal if | treated in time, but neglect may pave the way. Don't neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular or discoloured urine, headaches, weariness or depression. If you feel you neel kidney help, begin using the reliable time-tried remedy—Doan's Backache Kidnev Pills. For years they have been found effective. Read this testimony : Mr H. Hearn, Argyle Street, wera, says; "For a good while I suffered a lot of backache, the pain being at times so severe that I could hardly get about. My rest at night was disturbed, as owing to the nagging ache I could not Ho in one position very long. During tho day I felt tired and weary, and had no energy for anything. One day I happened to hear Doan's Backache Kidnev Pills well spoken of, so 1 got a bottle, and after taking them for a few days the pain-in my back began to ease. I was delighted at this, «o continued using the Pills, and a thorough course cured me completely. Five years have elapsed then, and I have had no return of niv old complaint, so I am safe in saying my cure is a permanent one.'' Mr Hearn makes a second statement two years later; "I have had no reason to alter mv good opinion of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. They cured mo over seven years ago and 1 > am still well." I

Doan'a Backache Kidney Pills are sold bv all chemists and storekeepers at ,3s per bottle, or will bo posteJ on receipt of price by Foster-Me-Clellan Co., 15 Hamilton Street, Svdnev. 'But, be sure you get DOAN'S.
