ENTERTAINMENTS.

THEATRE ROYAL. “The Adventures of Algy,” was screened again at the Theatre Royal last night This Beaumont Smith production was a delightfully amusing production, with Claude Dampier and Bathic Stuart in the leading roles. The picture tells of two young men who come ' out to New Zealand to claim property left them by a relative in England. They meet a New Zealand girl named Kiwi and both fall in love with her. The hero is too timid and shy to declare his love, but his cousin proposes to Kiwi and is firmly rejected. • Finally a happy solution is reached. The cross word puzzle, wh.ich is Algy’s craze, runs right through the film with amusing results. The settings, including many New Zealand scenes, are of great Interest, and the amusing adventures of Algy, as portrayed by popular Claude Dampier, create much amusement. The inclusion of a Hamilton girl in the cast adds to the interest. “The Adventures of Algy” will be screened for the last time to-night. THE STRAND THEATRE. A splendid programme was presented last night. Fred Thomson hits the bull’s eye literally as well as figuratively,in “Thundering Hoofs,” the first of his new series of colourful outdoor stories w’hich he is making for, F. B. O. Thomson invades a Mexican bull ring in this exciting picture, saving his beloved horse, Silver King, from the horns of the enraged animal at the risk of his own life, and staging one of the most unusual conflicts ever seen in pitting his courag* and athletic ability against the brute force of the big bull. In the second picture, “My Son,’’,” Nazmova plays the starring role. Seats may be booked at Lewis R. F.ady and Son, Ltd., or by Theatre ’phone 1422. FRANKTON’S OWN THEATRE.

Green was a well-known tram conductor on the Lamb lon Quay run, bright, cheery sort of chap, but these last few months lie simply wasn't “hitting” it. Rough spin by travelling public? Not a bit of it. they had great respect for Green, didn’t stand on the platform, apologised when giving a half crown over a twopenny section —you know the kind of fellow Green was. But for some time lie was off colour and took up a “public-be-darned” sort of attitude. One morning he heard one passenger telling another bow he had repaired his run-down condition by the use of "K.P.” Life Salt, a product manufactured by Kempthorne, Prosser & Co., Ltd. He thought he would try it himself, so he bought a bottle for 2/6 at the chemist's. He has bought several bottles since, and would not now miss this “Joy of life” drink. Moreover his wife calls out to him each morning, “Do not forget your morning fizz."
