THE KING'S THEATRE. "WEDDING BILLS." There is no doubt that Raymond Griffith's latest picture for Parauiouut "Weckliiig Bill?" is a real scream, and the largo aiulfmee on Saturday night soon realised what a wonderful artist- he is.

WJPTH'S CJIICUS. Christmas comes but once* a year —aiwl so does Wii'tli's Circus—and like Christmas the circus—when it coii^qs —brings good cheer. All will therefore be glad to le/am tln.it the tamed combination will visit Stratford on Wednesday, February 8, for one night only, the huge tented city being erected on Kino; Edwa'rd Park. Though it may sound extravagant to isjiy so, the big show is this year more crammed with wonders than ever before and is coming direct from Melbourne, where during the past two months a phenomenally successful season ha's been enjoyed. Melbourne people know a good tiling when they come across it, and they promptly recognised in Wii'tli's Circus the best thiiijr they had. seen for many >a long day. The greatest feature of all is Pallenberg's Wonderful Performing Bears, and the latest novelty Tin Hare Pacing, the public invited to bring their own dogs. There are so many astonishing acts figuring on the lengthy programme that it is difficult to begin selecting one before another, for all are pre-eminent in their own particular lines. That is one ot the secrets of success of this huge combination that entertains the whole of Australia, right whole year through. There is ample variety on the programme to captivate everyone. Further, there is no interval to spin out time, everything goes like clockwork in order tbl.it the 25 stars may be presented in scheduled., time- The zoo will be open from 4 p.m. to o p.m.

EUTUKN OF THE CHERNIAVSKYS. Tho CherniaVsky Bros., Loo, Jan and Mischel will appear at the Town Hall on Thursday'afternoon next for a. matinee only. Musical critics throughout the world hiive considered that the Cherniavskys, as trio players, are without equals, but the great feature of their work is that each one is a soloist of outstanding excellence. The programme arranged for their first concert will give scope to the in mutual versatility. The three brothers bear very little resemblance to one another, either in appearance or in personality. Leo is almost overwhelmingly vigorous and robust, Jan gives a suggestion of the spiritual, and Mischel H eager and earnest. The one great characteristic they have in common i s a naive and delightful sense of humor, which is the strongest element of their private life, and which, frequently creeps into their music. Travelling as they have done since early childhood, they have gf.LTiera! a vast amount of experience, and a fluency in many languages which makes them most entertaining, not only as musicians, but as conversationalists.
