ENTERTAINMENTS.

GIANT BILL AT STRAND. The popular New Strand Theatre has again hit the bull's eye with the exceptionally fine programme it will present to-night. The Musgrove Vaudeville artist is Miss Jen Latona, who is billed as the "happiest girl in vaudeville." She has already made an impression in Australia and New Zealand, and will be thoroughly enjoyed by the public of Hamilton. Miss Latona is an English artist of high standi ing and has a big repertoire of drama_ tic and comedy numbers. For dramatic effect obtained by a silent play on the human emotions, few pictures surpass the William Fox production of "Hoodman Blind." The story relates the tragedy of a man who misunderstood his wife, accusing her of wrong of which she was innocent. The work of Gladys Hulette, as the woman who is misunderstood and who finally Is left destitute, is remarkably effective. David Butler plays a powerful part in the dramatic role of Jack Yeulettej the man who misunderstands. Frank Campeau has the difficult role of Mark Lezzard, an evil.miser whose influence nearly ends two lives and wrecks others. Seats should be booked at Lewis R. Eady and Son, Ltd, or by theatre 'phone 1422. THEATRE ROYAL. "Wild Bill Hickok," featuring Bill Hart and his famous Pinto pony, will be showing to-night.
