AMUSEMENTS.

THE KING'S THEATRE. "OUTLAWED", TO-NIGHT. Bill Patton, a star actor new to i the Stratford public, will appear in his latest Selznick picture "Outlawed", at the King's Theatre tonight. "Outlawed" is a thriling Western story full of exciting moments, and a picture which holds the interest of the spectator from the . beginning to the end. Other items ; include Gazette, Comedy and Edu- ) cational. On Thursday night, Conway Tearle will be seen in a picture enj titled "After Midnight." J SUNSHINE PLAYERS. •I The programme presented by the

clever combination of vaudeville artists known as "The Sunshine Players" at the Town Hall last night was a varied one, and patrons spent an enjoyable evening. The

attendance was not as large as the merits of the company demanded, but no doubt the inclement weather j prevailing yesterday accounted to a large extent for the paucity. "Rays" of Sunshine dispelled dull care from the rise to the fall of the curtain. The first half of the programme was devoted to vocal items and short play scenes, displaying the ability and versatility of the members. "The Island of never mind where," by Mr Walter George and the Sunshiners, followed the over-*-by the Sunshine, orchestra. "Flattering" by Yorke Grey, Robert Raymond and Eily Dalgleish was I very clever. Frank Moran burst upon the scene with Ray No. 3 in an amusing interlude. "Marriage a la Mode," by a cast of five, was a perfect scream. "A Cuban Moon" was Robert Raymond's contribution, assisted by the Sunshiner's chorus, Georgie Martin, a laughing Ray, sang "Why am I always a Bridesmaid." Kennedy Allan appeared in a puritan Ray with the Sunshiners, and was followed by a tragic episode of the Montmartre Apaches— Vera Sewell and Yorke Grey. Highland dancing by Eily Dalgheish and Violet Campbell was a good turn. "The Street Musician," was Mr and Mrs Kennedy Allan's amusing skit. Opera turned to Rag-time afforded i the company an opportunity to diffuse more Rays of Sunshine, and i was a .series o* clever acts.

The second half of the programme was taken up with the musical comedy extravaganza "The Ki#g of Dun-no-whereski" by the company. It was a well-staged play on'the style of a revue, and was very much appreciated. Altogether the Sunshine flayers gave splendid value, and must be placed among the best shows of the kind that have appeared in Stratford. The company left by train this morning for Eltham, where they appear at the Town Hall to-night. M4TIOE DANCE. The usual, fortnightly dance is being held in the Mahoe Hall tomorrow evening.
