ENTERTAINMENTS.
PATHE PICTURES. •
Infinite variety and entertainment of a bright and attractive nature is contained in the new programme to be placed before patrons by the Pathe Picture Company at ITis' Majesty k Theatre to-night. “The Voice of the 'Child” is a powerfully-acted drama by the Biograph Company, which shows how the cry of a little child averts a terrible tragedy. A busy business man neglects h-is wife, who listens to the flattery of her husband’s college mate, and consents to run away with him. The maid overhears their plans, and informs the "husband, who is about to wreak vengeance, when the voice of his little child restores liis -better nature. “Hie Child Crusoes” is a beautiful Vitagraph film, in which the story depicted is like turning over the pages of a book of adventures. “An Innocent Burglar” is a highlyenjoyable comedy by the Vitagraph Coy. In this a young fellow leaves his keys at the office, and in order to keep a pressing engagement is forced to break into his own home. He is promptly arrested, and has considerable trouble in convincing the limbs of the Jaw as to his identity. “The Life of a Honey Bee” makes an instrmjtive natural -history subject, while “The Making of Metal Filament Lamps” is a fine industrial film.
The scenic picture is a happy conception by the Pasquali Co., showing much of the picturesque beauty and quaintness of the Dutch island of Marker!. An interesting budget of Pathe Gazette subjects, and a number of clever comic pictures complete a high-class programme.
VON ARX COMPANY
Another delightful evening’s entertainment was provided at His Majesty’s Theatre last evening, when the Von Arx Company brought their season to a close. The building was packed, and from start to finish there was not a dull moment. Von Arx again mystified the audience with his illusions, while Professor Norwood kept them in a state or merriment with his powers of hypnotism. Mr. Bert D. Holt, manager of the company, expressed himself as highly delighted with the reception the company had been accorded during their short stay in Gisborne.
