ENTERTAINMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. “FIND YOUR MAX.'’ Being booked for a two-night, season cnlv, this feature will conclude at the Cosy Theatre to-night. “Find Vonr Iran” is a photo-play story tspcciallv written bv Darryl Francis Zamuiek to show Riti Tin-Tin at his best. AVUiU* it is in no sense merely a “stunt ” pi !ure. it. provides abundant opportunity for the dog to offer additional proof that here is an animal governed more by a thinking, trained intellect than by instinct. The principal “humans” in the cast are also of more than passing interest. June Marlowe plays the leading feminine role, and Eric St. Clair has the male lead. A special added attraction is the official opening of the Dunedin and South Seas Exhibition. The programme also includes gazette, interest and comedy. Box plan at Henderson ’s. OPERA HOUSE. “GIRL SHY.” , v . Harold Lloyd in “Girl Shy” will be given its final exhibition to-night- at the Opera House. The picture offers suggestions of “Grandma’s Bov” mid “Safety Last.” But the sky-scraping episodes of the latter do not approach the high speed action and gags involved in the grand pursuit of the meek hero who had discarded his ricii sweetheart when the publishers rejected his manuscript. He is a bashful boy. is Harold, anil he writes a. book of his romantic conquests, which he offers as advice to young men in how to conquer certain types of women. So Lloyd uses a bit of each picture in making the best one of all. The gags aie bright and new—such as the scene at the brook when Lloyd takes a vide on a. turtle’s back. But the big kick is the finish, when he would stop his sweetheart from marrying a mercenary bounder. What a mad race it is as he commandeers a trolley and dashes through the city streets, and climbs the pole —and jumps into an auto. He uses a dumping cart, a few horses, on autoeycle—and numerous props, in reaching his destination. And there is no pause in the action. Finally to-night. Book seats' at Henderson’s.

AUSTRALIAN SILVER BAND. One, of the remarkable features of the programmes given by the Australian Silver Band (under the baton of Mr Albert 11. Baile, now conducting his second world’s tour) is the wonderfully appealing manner in which the hymns, often played as encore numbers, are produced. “They play as one man” is a phrase justly used iu a description of thi.se numbers. From the time of the attack, right up to tho close of each Vjerse, not a break or a breathmark i 9 perceptible. Each performer doubles with his mate, and quietly dies out, taking his breath in again, and gently relieves his “double,” who does likewise. So wonderfully trained arc the members in this particularly captivating method of playing that a. still, steady tone is maintained, which ranges from the most beautifully appealing pianissimo to the great thrilling and inspiring double fortes, at the will of Mr Baile, the conductor, who controls his combination as a master organist plays upon a grand organ, and produces the most beautiful effects and changes of tone colour imaginable. Arrangements have been made for the 'band to give a concert in the Memorial Park next Saturday night. A brilliantly lighted stage will be erected in front of the grandstand, from which the items will be given. 'Should unfavourable weather prevail the concert will be given in the Municipal Hall.
