ENTERTAINMENTS.

RATHE PICTURES

Good business was recorded at His Majesty’s Theatre last night, when the Bathe Picture Company repeated its “Voiceless Message” programme. The great military drama, “For the Soke of His Uniform,” was very warmly received, as were the other dramas, in the series, “The LongSkirt” and “The Voiceless Message.” The delightful comedy, “Tho Nearsighted Chaperone,” called up unbounded merriment, and is one of the greatest laughter provokers screened for quite a long while. The scenic film, “Scenes in Bonnie Scotland,” gave a number of magnificent views of the “land of brown heath and shaggy wood, land of the mountain and the flood,” ‘which were greatly admired. “Making a Six-Ton Cheese” was such a highly interesting industrial film as to interest more than those engaged in dairying pursuits. “A Sentimental. Walk” and “A Discussion on Politics” were two humorous subjects of merit, and both met with .approval. This strong series will be repeated to-night.

NEWBURY-SPADA CONCERT CO

It is only too infrequently, unfortunately, that Gisborne audiences are afforded the opportunity. of listening to first-class vocalists. It is, therefore, only natural that exceptional interest is being taken in tho concert to bo given at His Majesty’s Theatre tomorrow night by the Newburv-Spada Conceit Company. Mr Philip Newbury’s magnificent tenor voice has made him "renowned from one end of the Dominion to the other, and it is doubtful if the Dominion lias ever produced so finished ail artist. Not alone in New Zealand has the great tenor made good. He has successfully appeared in most of the European capitals, and has won glowing comments alike from the press and the public. Miss Emily Spada, the AngloAmerican nrima donna, is little less renowned than the great tenor. She is the possessor of a pure soprano voice of great range, and the manner in which she produces it stamps, hei at once as a highlv-cultured artiste. The co-operation of these two gifted singers snoulcl provide <x musical tioatsucli as has been seldom heard hero. The two principals will he supported by a full'and complete concert company. The box plan opened at Miller’s yesterday morning, . and the. seating accommodation is being rapidly taken up. -
