ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. THE LEE KIDS AND SESSUE HAYAKAWA. There is one style of projection drama that is—and always will remain, so long fli human hearts beat—of universal appeal. It is the play with tho child hero or heroine. Their charm is lasting. And when we see such gifted youngsters as Jane and Katharine Lee, who are veritable prodigies, we want to see them again and again, for their appeal is as enduring as the flush of youth on adolescent cheeks. In "Doing Their Bit," showing to-night and to-morrow at Everybody's, they achieve results so spontaneous that we forget thay arc acting— we become absorbed in their adventures and feel an interest in "Seeing Them Through" which is so personal that for a time we forget it is a play. On the same programme, Sessue Hayakawa is starring in a powerful dramatic ffature, "The Gray Horizon." EMPIRE THEATRE. ENGLISH PIERROTS—SATURDAY NEXT. That clever combination of versatile artists, the English Pierrots, who were so well and favorably received on the occasions of their previous visits are announced to commence a season of four nights at the Empire Theatre to-morrow evening, under the direction of Messrs. Will and Rob Thomas, whose names are guarantees of perfection- The Englbl Pierrots include excellent comedians, whose humor is such that the audience is kept in a constant ripple of merriment throughout the entire entertainment. 'The burlesque comedies and ■lramas form special features in the programmes presented by this clever company of entertainers. In addition, to which has been introduced an extremely • fine instrumental quartette of four lady mepbers—all entirely new to the company. This acquisition proved delightful to theatre-goers, and added still further to the popularity of this fine combination. The programmes presented by the English Pierrots are always referred to as being singularly clean, refined and wholesome innovations of the most desirable kind, and the select bill ; of fare which tlic English Pierrots pre- | sent will doubtlessly go a long way to- : wards the forthcoming season being as highly appreciated as the previous one. The novel methods adopted by this merry band of entertainers must be teen to be appreciated. When it is mentioned that the English Pierrots have been appearing continuously for the past seventeen years, during the summer seasons at their pavilion at St. Kilda, Mel- : bourne, aTid are still as popular as when j they made their reputation in England, it will be understood what a talented organisation is about to visit this town. Box plan now open at Collier's.
