ENTERTAINMENTS.

ARGUS AT THEATRE ROYAL. Argus, the Boy Prophet, is having a very successful season in Hamilton. Yesterday afternoon he interested a large audience of ladies, and last night the Theatre Royal was again filled. Argus appears to be possessed of mysterious powers, and gives a remarkable demonstration of telepathy. His powers were shovvn by the quick and unhesitating manner in which he gives his answers to, the many and varied questions put to him. As it is a legal offence to tell fortunes or foretell the future, Argus does not deal with future events, but speaks on subjects which would be of benefll to any member of the audience, such as sickness, missing friends., lost or stolen property, law cases, crime, change of occupation, or inventions. Argus will appear again to-night and a matinee will be held to-morrow afternoon. EMBASSY CELEBRITY VAUDEVILLE At the Theatre Royal on Monday, for one night only, Edwin R. Greenfield will present the famous Embassy Celebrity Vaudeville, direct from the Embassy Theatre, Auckland. There are- twenty-six artists and nine. star acts. The programme runs the whole gamut of variety. The audience will be astonished, charmed and amused in turn, and there will not be room for one dull moment. The “Eleven Rascals” will give 20 minutes of crowded entertainment. Trapeze, acrobatic and tumbling work all comes naturally to this troupe of girls. There is also Afanelii, the famous Continental juggler, a man who has devoted his whole life to the perfection of his art, and stands supreme among the jugglers of the world to-day. Reg. Thornton will present a comedy act with Miss Doris O’Shea. He is a master of topical humour. Leighton and Woods, a young English couple, have appeared for seasons at the most prominent cabarets and night clubs in London. The Marlins (Leo . and Marie) will cater for musical tastes in a novel manner. Pages could he written about the glorious tenor voice of Signor Enrico Palmetto, the Danish operatic singer; the hilarious and spontaneous comedy of Bert Harrow; the comedy work and marvellous acrobatic dancing of the Buchanans; and the engaging male impersonations of Miss Effie Fellows. But even then praises would bo left unsung. Seats may be reserved without extra hooking fee. On Thursday, August 2, tlie company will pay a visit to Cambridge. STRAND AND FRANKTON’S OWN. Girls! Girls! Girls! Blondes! Brunettes! Bed Heads! All give a bewildering display oL' pretlics in “Silk Legs,” a Fox Films production featuring Madge Bellamy, which comes to the above theatres to-night. The spirited little star carries the brunt of the comedy on her capable shoulders, and is assisted by a strong cast. “Burning Daylight” is the supporting picture. For those who haven’t read Jack London's thnilltag novel it might be explained that the title has nothing to do with the aurora borealis or other astronomical phenomena peculiar to the Arctic circle. ATTRACTION AT REGENT. On Saturday night, at the above Ballroom, a special exhibition of the “Yale Blues,” will be given by Miss Gladys Denz and Mr Jack Laing. This new' dance is sure to be the dance rage of New Zealand within a few weeks. The usual supper, for which the Regent is renowned, will again be provided. The floor and general appointments arc Loo well-known to the dancing public to need any rofercncc here. “Regent Dance Band” will dispense their usual melody and harmony.
