ENTERTAINMENTS

LAST OF “BONNIE BRIAR BUSH.” The splendidly successful season of that most admirable screen version of lan MacLaren’s world famous story, “Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush,” will conclude at the Theatre Royal to-night and all who appreciate what is best and cleanest and most wholesome in moving picture production should make certain of seeing the beautiful Scottish play which, filmed as it was on the actual spots in Scotland, and allied.as it is in the screening to appropriate Scottish music, makes one of the best film entertainments seen in HamiltoTi. Marie Prevost has a fine picture in “A Parisian Scandal,” and “Teddy’s Goat,” is a really funny comedy. Seats should he, reserved over ’phone 1580. TO-MORROW’S "ROYAL” STARS To-morrow’s extra attractive quality with quantity screenings will be Selznick’s huge all-star success, "Down Home,” Mabel Normand in a part that fits her in the circus drama, “Jinx" and a big star comedy. Box plans are at Paul’s. \ LAST OF JOHNNIE WALKER. Johnnie Walker, who leaped into favour in “Over the Hill," is more popular than ever in his newest success “The Jolt," a good drama which finishes to-night. Edna Murphy also scores in this picture. Charming Peggy Hyland has a delightful play in “Faith” and there and four auxiliary subjects and pleasing music. To-night’s screening should be largely attended. “GET RICH QUICK WALLINGFORD.” This tremendous success which had a vogue the wide world over, done for the screen by Paramount in 8000 feet of film and acted by a cast of stars, will top to-morrow’s massive bill at the King’s Theatre. “BONNIE BRIAR BUSH”—FRANKTON To-night, lan MacLearen’s celebrated story, “Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush,” which is positively one of the greatest public favourites amongst motion pictures that has ever been shown in Hamilton, will be shown at Frankton’s Own Theatre and the fame of the film is sure to draw a big house. The second episode of that highly popular and thrilling serial “The Branded Four,” will be full of interest and the splendid Century comedy, “Teddy’s Goat,” will raise roars of laughter. The “International News” and other subjects will complete the big bill. NICOLA THE MAGICIAN. Many people who are fond of sleight-of-hand and other feats of magic, with the mystifying illusions and flights into the world of mystery, will welcome the announcement made by J. G. Williamson, Ltd., of the appearance of Nicola, the world’s greatest magician and illusionist, at the Theatre Royal, Hamilton, on Monday next, for one night only. Nicola’s transformations are stated to be particularly neat, yet everything is presented on a gorgeous scale and with a wealth of detail. Nothing is apparently impossible to this man of mystery, and the charm of it is that it is done so swiftly, so cleanly, and in full view of the audience that it is more confusing than other tricks done by magicians who make use of .devices mechanical and otherwise to distract and blind their audiences. Supporting Nicola is a company of high-class vaudeville artists, and the whole entertainment is one which will not fail to appeal to all lovers of good wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. The box plans open at Paul’s on Thursday next.
