ENTERTAINMENTS

REMARKABLE FILMS AT THE ROVAL It. is claimed that the two supcr- ! productions that go to form to-night's i massive double quantity with first. ! quality bill al the Theatre Royal arc j the best, yet shown here. Elmo Lincoln, the splendid specimen of physical manhood and actor of power, who achieved fame as "Taiv.an of the Apes," will star at his in th<-> Universal.lewel de Luxe feature play, "Under Crimson Skies." The gripping story told amidst scenes of beauty is one in which romance, adventure and love intermingle in a manner that "tickles all palates and pleases every taste." Paramount will be represented by hand- | some Wallace lieid in "What's Your Hurry?", a bright and sparkling production. A popular overture by Mr Claude Smith and the Royal Orchestra will he a pleasing feature. To overtake the demand for reserved seats a special ! attendant will be on duty at the theatre . from 2 o'clock until 7 p.m. TO-NIGHT AT THE STRAND. A big and thoroughly satisfied audience greeted' the unfolding of Thos. 11. Ince's great special attraction, "Lying Lips," at the popular Strand Picture House last evening. An unusually powerful cast of most prominent artists include: Florence Vidor, House Peters, Margaret Livingston, Emmet C. King, Edith Yorke, Calvin Carter, and Margaret Campbell. The story is adapted from the world-read book. The thrilling situations include wonderful scenes of shipwreck. A splendid programme of topical (English Gazette), Pathc's educational review, and comedy films are included, in'the excellent bill, which is screened to delightful music by the Strand Orchestra. For to-night's final presentation patrons are urged to book their seats, for a great crush is inevitable. The plans for this evening are at the theatre ('phone 1422). TOrv; MiX IN "THE UNTAMED." I The King's Theatre is certain to be packed this evening, for the redoubtable Tom Mix will appear in "The Untamed," the biggest picture Mix has ever made. The daredevil of the screen and his clever horse '.Satan" arc seen in wonderful deeds of daring, and in the supporting cast—one of extraordinary strength—Pauline Starke. The added attractions, which are unusually strong, will include a very funny Sunshine comedy in two reels of mirth, "Mutt and Jeff" in cartoon, a thrilling section of "The Diamond Queen," an educational film and a bunch of gazettes which, allied to the enjoyable music of H. Spencer-Salt and Miss Lockwood, will form a splendid entertainment. Seats may be reserved over 'phone 1580 until 6-45 p.m. BENEFIT CONCERT AT FRANKTON. For the benefit concert to be given in the Frankton Town Hall on Wednesday next by the Frankton Sports and Recreation Club an unusually line programme has been arranged, and it should attract a very large audience. Among the talented people who will contribute are Misses Cora Mclvin

'soprano , Hogg. Gladys Den?: (Waikalo champion national dancer), Messrs A Cade (baritone), Harold Piper (bariItnne), .). Carter < violinist , .1. Brabnor, : Res. Cook, and P. \V. Maddock. Willi such an array of talent an enjoyable ■ evening is assured. The proceeds of i the concert, will lie devoted to a very \ worthy object- : ALEXANDER WATSON'S RECITALS. "Long before the time of startins : the hall was completely filled and I scores of disappointed would-be patrons ' were turned away. The crowded houses which he is experiencing every night are a tribute not, only to Mr Watson's ■ popularity, but to his unique ability as ian entertainer. It is safe t.o say there I is never a dull moment during his re--1 eitals. He is never the palpable reciter, : but always the very character lie is J interpreting, and his unfailing humour, i combined with his dramatic skill and j his irreproachable elocut-ion, stamp ; his as a thorough artist at the top of I the tree in his own particular line." In I different words this is practically what j has been written after every recital • given by Alexander Watson since he | began this his fourth and final Australasian lour in Melbourne in April last. I On Tuesday evening the public will have I the opportunity of seeing that it is no ! exaggeration. At his recital here Mr j Watson will give selections from the j works of Sir J. M. Barrie, Rudyard KipI ling, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain. I The box plan is now open at Paul's ißook Arcade. SOLE BROS.' CIRCUS AND ZOO. i Sole Bros.' Circus and Zoo, which will commence a three nights' season at J Hamilton on Tuesday next, has been ! well-known throughout Australia for j many years, and uas earned an enviable ! reputation in the amusement world. The extension of its tour to New Zealand has, so far, been crowned with success, the Auckland season being particularly successful. Sole Brothers know what the public want, and give it to them. A strong combination of clever performers present a programme that holds the attention of audiences throughout. Thrilling acts and amusI ing interludes are presented, making up a performance of much merit. A zoo is attached to the circus, and always !a! tracts much attention. There is no {doubt, that the circus will have a very I successful season in Hamilton.
