THE KING'S

THE AMERICAN SMART SET

In addition to presentingfan excellent programme of pictures lasst-evening,-the * .i-.agement of the KitK^jntro'dueed a »ory entertaining interj«3e. ~Thia-was ■.Ujjpiied by the American -Smart Set, ..alien consists of a trio of excellent enLex'i'ainere. The ladies of the party sing a^d dance very acceptably, and give •duets and musical monologues. The male member of the trio is a delightful • little chap who is distinctly clever. His items last evening, particularly "Mr. Booze" and "The " Wibbly Wobbly I Walk" were much appreciated, as were ; also those of the 'ladies. The | best of their items were "Down the ; Wanganui," "Tell your mother to keep j her eye on you." The programme put on by the American Smart Set. will bo changed each evening this week, and we J have no doubt that there will be large audiences in attendance. The performance'is quite a change from the ordinary entertainments and well deserves support. So far as the pictures'portion of- the programme is concerned, they are of a high order, and last evening were deservedly encored,.-. The programme of pictures "will be. repeated this evening. We are asked to state that the American Smart Set has no connection with the "Smarter Set »

ROYAL PICTURES

The current programme at the Opera House presented by the Koyai Pictur.es. continues to com© in for the warm _ap«probation of the audiences. The star iilm, "At the Wheel," seems to become more popular with each screening, and deservedly so, for it is a star of the. first magnitude. This is a high-class romance of the sea, intersperse^ with A-bVe#t&: of the land.; Nevertheless;.an^the.3(X>a< feet of film is crowded with stirring-iii-■•-cidents, the concluding: £oene;bejttg^etry impressive.
