AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S. OHAE.UH CHAPLIN TO-NIGHT, Commencing to-night Charlie Chaplin will he seen in his latest million dollar comedy, "'Simnyside,” which has created such a sensation in Wellington and Auckland. You have not seen Charlie at his best till you see his side-split-ting “Sunnysido.” In it ho teaches the world how to be happy though tired—how to make hens lay fried eggs—how to chauffeur the cows and catch wild oats. He is just the jazzy limit—though in. his life there is very little jazz—morning: breakfast, work and kicks; noon: more work, mistakes and lacks; night: romance, sweet thoughts and kicks. That’s Charlie’s day—a round of tiresome toil and disastrous day-dreams. You’ll rojyr and chuckle, sigh and sympathise “Back to God’s Country ’ is unique; it was) filmed for the most part north of 53 degrees, right in the Arctic Circle; and one of the cast lost his life from the intense cold. It is a story of passionate, elemental life in the world; of Dolores, the swimming girl, whose love for animals makes,, her friends protectors from preying men more heartless than the beasts of the forest. The supporting programme is good, and special music has been arranged for these two big attractions by Fuller’s Orchestra. Hie plan is at the theatre office. Special attention is drawn to patrons booking over the ’phone, as no seats will be kept after 8 p.m.

EVERYBODY’S. To-night will be the last screening of the Western drama, “Boots and Saddles,” starring Henry Grey. The supports include the Dominion Travelogue, the Topical Budget, and a good comedy entitled “The Window Dresser’s Dream.” On Monday, Marguerite Fischer will appear in “Jilted Janet,” a clever comedy with an allnew supporting programme. SPECIAL MUSICAL SERVICE. All lovers of good music are reminded of the-special musical service a i> Trinity Methodist Church on Sunday at 6.45 p.m. Tho Male Quartette will smg “The Chapel,” the sqlo and chorus “From Every Stormy Wind” will be given, while the enlarged choir will render Sullivan’s “0 Love the Loi’d.” Popular hymns from Alexander’s collection will be used, and the Rev. H. L. 1 Blamires will give a lecturette on ■‘The Place of Music in Religion.” Hie public are reminded of the early hour of the commencement. On Thursday evening, in the Technical School Hall, the Rev. H. L. Blamires, to assist the funds of Queen’s Park School, delivered his popular illustrated lecture “From Cairo to Damascus.” Tho story of the progress _of “our boys” on this memorable occasion was followed with great interest by a large and appreciative -audience. About one hundred and thirty pictures—a most interesting'and unique collection—made the story most realistic. At the close of the lecture Mr Blamires was warmly thanked by Air Bruce (chairman of the Schools Committee) and by the bead teacher, the latter assuring the speaker that the many children present had benefited educationally* and morally by the story so recounted.
