ENTERTAINMENTS.

BATHE PICTURES

The management has a most attractive bill of fare to place before patrons .at His Majesty’s Theatre to-night. The dramas are a particularly meritorious lot. “The Girl and the Motor Boat" is a capital Edison subject, showing how a young inventor mortgaged himself up to the hilt in order to win a big prize. In fact, be was after two prizes—a monetary \ prize and a matrimonial one. His rival also possessed a fast- motor boat and a burning desire to win the same heiress. To make assurance doubly sure, bludgeons the young inventor just before the race. The girl, however, has learned the ways of a motor boat, and just as the villain believes tlie race is his, she appears among the contestants, and drives the new engine to victory. “His Chorus Girl Wife" is a well-acted Lukin drama, which tolls how an old millionaire, who has disinherited his son, is won over by the Stirling qualities possessed by the ex-chorus girl. “His Brother's Double” is a novel drama, which tells the tale of two brothers who were wonderfully alike. One was good and the.other bad, and the bad brother flourished like the proverbial green bay tree. In the end he even vans the girl whom they both love. "A Day with a Circus" is a truly wonderful film, showing all kinds of freaks and a whole menagerie from elephants to snakes- “A Convenient Burglar’’ is a most enjoyable A.B. comedy. While his wife is away.

“hubby” determines to have a good time. Her unexpected return upsets the plans, and one of the guests, to save the situation, pretends to be a burglar, and is marched off by the husband. In addition to the attractions already mentioned “Lieut. Rose and the Moorish Raiders,” “The Crocodile Farm," and “Italian Cavalry,” the three films which caused so much enthusiasm on Saturday night, will be repeated by special request. The scenic and comic subjects are of an entertaining character, and in every respect the programme is -of exceptional merit. THE ENGLISH PIERROTS. The irresistible humor and originality of the clever English Pierrot C-om-✓jiany entertained another big audience at His Majesty's last evening, and the enthusiastic manner in which the performers were greeted, offered the assurance that the company would be heartily supported should they over call at Gisborne again. While the more serious -side -of the programme was given all due attention, humor and burlesque predominated, and in this lay the secret of the company's success. Particularly appealing were Hie -efforts of dainty Miss Elsa Langley and Mr Maynard Dakin in a series of quaint ducts and eccentric steps. Mr Rob Thomas, too, fell into favor with his “deaf men” song and his wealth -of Lancashire lore. The Company will proceed to the north today.
