ENTERTAINMENTS.

HARRY RICKARDS’ VAUDEVILLE

COMPANY.

A good deal of interest centres ini the first' appearance in Gisborne of tlie Rickards’ Vaudeville Coy, which will appear at Gisborne in His Majesty’s Theatre to-morrow evening. Of all the companies the firm of Harry Rickards has sent to the Dominion, the present one is said to be the most successful, both artistically and financially. The Auckland season has been a record one, and on many nights would-be patrons could not obtain admission to- the Theatre in consequence of the sale of tickets having been stopped long before the rising of the curtain. Judging by the advance sale of tickets, a large house will greet the company on its appearance in this town. With the names prominently figure Binns and Binns, Aleide Capitaine, Pastor and Merle, Clarke and Mostol. Sydney Bach, Carlton Max, Fanny Powers, Camille Cornwall, Tom Dawson and others, an enjoyable entertainment should be submitted. For tlie convenience of country people a late train will leave after the performance to-morrow night..

PA THE PICTURES. There was again a very fail’ audience at- His Majesty’s Theatre last evening, when the management of the Pat lie Pictures submitted for the second time thie Very successful mid-week change of programme. A good assortment of dnamas make the series' intensely interesting, and of.these the item entitled "The Actress and the Singer” seems to be most gratifying to popular taste. "Lean Wolf’s End l ,” as may,be inferred from the title, is am Indian legend, •and this also is a depiction of many charms, and its moral is; that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian.” The other dramas, "Silver Threads Among the Gold” and "Dido Forsaken by Aeneas” are both, good subjects, and have been much* enjoyed by, all who have seen them. The most salient depiction, however, is a comedy, with more honest 'fact in it than, cam justly be expected of such, under the title of "How She Triumphed,” every scene of which is wondrously diverting. The' series olso includes, "Lake VerbanO.” "Servants Suspended,” "War on Wheels” and "Tree Felling in Norway.” , The final presentataon will be made 1 this evening.
