ENTERTAINMENTS

m MALE CHOIR CONCERT. It is hardly necessary to remind readers that the Hamilton Male Choir's concert will take place in the Town Hall to-night. An excellent programme •ras been arranged, and should prove very enjoyable. The choir will render a number of part songs, and will have the assistance of several gifted, soloists —Miss Mina Caldow (contralto), Miss G. Ray Fox (violinist), and Mr J- G. .Norman (baritone). Intending patrons would be well advised to book their scats at Paul's Book Arcade, for a very large audience is assured. KING'S THEATRE. The really splendid programme that has delighted exceptionally big attendances for the past two evenings finish to-night. Shirley Mason's fine circus picture, "Her Elephant • Man," is a great favourite, and seldom have two fun-makers equal to Mack Sennett's "Trying to Get Along" and Sunshine's "Her Private Husband" been seen here. Mutt and Jeff in "All that Glitters is Not Gold Fish," and two capital Gazetteers round off the big list. Paramount specials' screen to-morrow. .Bonnie Vivian Martin will introduce '"His Official Fiancee," and,'lrene Vernon Castle Will star in her latest, "The Amateur Wife." Box plans are at Paul's. THEATRE ROYAL.

A screen classic —a picture with a great reputation and one of the biggest favourites with the public that has toured the Dominion —shows tonight and finishes to-morrow evening. "The Walk Off," which faithfully reproduces Morosco's enormous stage success in seven massive acts, stars that wonderfully fine actress Mae Allison, . who . in- this production achieves the big hit of her brilliant career. The acting throughout has been criticised as "extraordinarily good," and "the mounting is a revelation." The story is from the joint pens of the famous American playwrights, Fred and Panny Hatton, so. that patrons may anticipate something of especial merit. Picked supporting subjects worthy of the»occasion will include a star comedy, a rare travel series, an instructive picture, and Bray's popular Pictographs and Gazetteers. .The Royal Orchestra will accompany the unfoldings. . •Seats should be reserved at Paul's or over 'phone 1580. THE STRAND. Will the prayers of British mothers whose boys were-.killed as a result of the world war be answered? Or will the bereaved motherhood of the world have offered up invocations to nothing more than a mere fancy? This is the daring thought that D. W. Griffith, master motion picture producer of the world, presents in his latest creation, "The Greatest Question," which will be seen at the Strand Theatre, commencing on Friday next. Never before in the history of the screen or stage has this problem been brought face to face with the public.and in a manner that cannot bo misinterpreted. Weaving his 'thought through the meshes of a simple story about farm folk who are deprived of an oldest and favourite son through the war, Griffith calls for- the answer of the greatest question. In addition Charlie Chaplin present's' his fourth million-dollar comedy, "A Day's Pleasure," in which the King of Comedians, with his Ford car, his wife and family of two chubby minature Charlies, provides plenty of wholesome fun. It is said to-be the greatest shriek that Charlie has perpetrated to date. This remarkable programme has had a record run in Auckland for the last two weeks, and should not be missed by picture patrons. Box plan for the season will open to-morrow morning at the Novelty Depot, Victoria Street.
