AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. “I’LL SHOW YOU THE TOWN.’’ Crowded houses are greeting the films now showing at the above theatre, and the pictures are indeed worth seeing. After the stress and worry of the day's work it is refreshing to let oneself go in a good hearty laugh, and there are plenty in “I’ll Show You tho Town.” Another mirth-provoker is provided for patrons with the film “Billy the Kid.” This picture is packed full with action, thrills, and fun. Book your seat at Upton’s till 5, then at the Rialto till 6.30; after ring 2863 for reserves. CHARLIE CHAPLIN TO MORROW. All roads will lead to His Majesty’s Theatre to-morrow afternoon, because every kid, from six to sixty, will want to see Charlie Chaplin as “The Adventurer,” and we don’t blame ’em, because this one of his is the absolute best, filled with clean laughs. At the matinee (also is the picturisation of Charles K. Harris’ immortal song across “Tho Brige of Sighs” telling the simple story of stirring adventure and poignant heart drnmn. At the evening session only the third big attraction is “Tho Hoosier .Schoolmaster,” a mid-Western masterpiece. .Short subjects include two very fine comedies, and tho latest English Gazette. The plan is rapidly filling at Upton’s, where reservations should be made.

THH SWANKERS' CLUB. LADIES’ NIGHT. Tho Swankers’ Club ladies’ night, held at the R.S.A. Hall on Saturday last was a very successful function, and reflected great credit on tho promoters. Tho programme took the form of a progressive euchre tournament and dancing. The euchre tournament was Übly controlled by Messrs B. Cooper and W. Dunn. The duties of M.C. ’s were carried out by Messrs Fry and R. Bond and proceedings went with a swing, the dance music being supplied by Miss Feltham’s orchestra. An interlude was made for supper, when over a hundred guests sat down to a dainty repast which had been prepared by the ladies’ committee consisting of Mesdamos Cunningham, Burns, Bonner, Cooper, Firth, Fry, Dreyer, Coull, Dunn and Feltham. The tables were very tastefully decorated, the club’s colours (red and white) predominating. After the supper adjournment the prizes were presented to the winners of the euchre tournament by the president (Mr. F. Cunningham). The dance programme was then continued, and with streamers land confetti the scene was one of much gaiety. A most enjoyable evening was concluded at midnight by the singing of “Auld Lang Sync.”
