Rhondda Leader Maesteg Garw and Ogmore Telegraph

Amusements. f Hippodrome, Tonypandy. Crowded audiences have been the rule this week at the "Hippo," to witness the exceptional fare provided for Hippo. patrons. Topping the bill is Bill Rees end his troupe of clever lads, who appear ijV a novel act, entitled" Not a Crook," A representation of a training stables is disclosed to the audience, in which a number of stable. lads are discussing the fact that one of their number, who has been dismissed, has been guilty of im- parting forbidden information. Of course, the wrongly accused lad resents being called a crook, and eventually clears his BS-me in no uncertain manner. This act iii distinctly original and is plentifully ùtersperood with musical items. Bill and Bailey are a pair of new and original versatile comedians who cause yells of laughter. Their funny business is really clever and is greatly appreciated, Ray end Lingard appear in a very successful comedy duologue. "First of April"; the Bcriskis, comedians, obtain a full share cf the evening's applause; whilst Irene Ralph, vocalist and dancer, completes a strong bill, Turning to the picture portion of the programme one renews acquaintance with Nick Carter again, whilst aviation at Los Angeles is vividly depicted. A very fine example of coloured cinematography is eiltit-led "Cleopatra." Theatre Royal, Tonypandy. For the first time in the Rhondda, the (dramatic romance, 41 For Love and the Kii-ig," was presented at the Royal on Monday by Mr. Watson Mill and his com- pany, The scenery is in admirable taste, and the play possesses a fascination which (sustains the spectators' interest from Eitart to finish. The manliness and heroic bravery of ¡¡ Gerald Meredith," the soldier of fortune, is delineated by Mr. Watson Mill with a power and histrionic excel- lence which are admirable. Miss Joan fiilis gives a beautiful portrayal of the of Natila." the daughter of the Kjrrg 0f Sylronia, stolen when a child and brought up as a peasant girl. "King Dagomar is presented in a very dignified (manner by Mr. Stanley Weston. Love, hatred. envy, jealousy, revenge and treachery is worked up into the plot of the play in a masterly manner, and the various parts are well sustained by all the performers. Speoial good work is put in by Mr. Alfred Maurice as Michael Cberenovic," the miser Mr, Cyprian H. ^iatthewa as II, Vladimir," the miser's eon, the villain of the play; Mr. F. K. "Wicksteed as Prince tiros Dagomir Mr. Geoffrev Chate as Duke Fernand" And Miss Rosalind Tate as Edith 6leradith r? while Mr. Oscar Paver lends immour to the piece in his effective im- personation of the eccentric German, Carl Oppenheim," and creates much amusement in an episode with Grazia," the miser's daughter, a character admir- ably sustained by Miss Kitty Melville. The drama is in four acts, and the scenes throughout are impressive in the extreme. Next week, the drama, The Better Land," will hold the boards, and for the following week Mr. Duckworth announces two special aft ractioii,,s,- viz., the realistic drama, "Way Out West," and a new and original version of Monte Christo." Empire, Tonypandy. The Empire continues to go great guns. This week there is a bill of fare of all- cound merit, each turn being accorded T.-ell-deservea applause. Perhaps the most ser e successful on the bill is Miss Maude Mortimer, whose phenomenal success has been the talk of the vaudeville world. Miss Mortimer has been blessed with a capital voice, and this, added to her judicious selection of swinging songs, pro- cures" repeated demands for encores. Her t £ .Cock-a-doodle-do song, in particular, itv,-Is a great favourite, Another capital contribution is that of Miss Marie Dreams. This young lady, who is only 17 years of age, and who worked until a few months ago at an East End cigar factory, is the possessor of a baritone i-oice of excellent timbre and compass. Her throat has been examined by several London specialists, who declare that her throat is that of a man. She scores tieavily with a couple of songs, including Come back to Erin." Ross Warren and Alick Lauder provide the inevitable humorous element. Both gentlemen have styles aggressively their own, and their -fcongs and patter are rich and convulsing. Gibbon and Bell, in an acrobatic and dancing speciality, Wanted a Partner," provide an exhibition of agility which would be hard to beat. The gentleman ,c.ne would imagine to be made of rubber, so easy does he twist and bencj himself. La Belle Linda is a charming trick cyclist who fairly rides on wheels into the hearts of the audience. A very clever iÚece of acting is given in the sketch produced by J. G. Grahame and Zerlina Harrington, entitled A Daughter of Pleasure." A new feature which is intro- duced is the Empire Song Sheet, which is nothing less than illustrated songs sung toy a local vocalist. The vocalist this week is Ben Thompson, Treherbert, who ^ives a capital rendering of When the Vaying-time is over." Needless to say* the. chorus is taken up with gusto by the 11 Uale-nce. It' is pleasing to note that the depar- ture made in reducing the prices of ad- mission has been an unqualified success. The stalls have been reduced to 9d. and the gallery. Tuesday to Friday, 2d.; Mon- days and Saturdays, 3d. Palace, Porth. Topping the. bill at the Palace this v-eek is the La Faille Troupe of nsley 44crobat-3, who: submit an uncommonly 6inart acrobatia turn. Tumbling, throw- ing, twisting, jind also equilibristic feats tire each successfully performed with such dexterity as 3o evoke loud and con- tinuous. applause. The Michel Bros., head- to-head balanters and tumblers, are equally skilful* and are thorughly appre- ciated. Uproarious laughter is caused by George Greville; the bashful dame come- dian. With wttv puns, amusing yarns and funny melodies, Greville is an in- stant success. LMiss Annie Schubert, in a smart song fcena. The Deputy, or a Private ■ Rehearsal," is charming, and is the rwipie-nt of loud encomiums. Wisper, comedy cod kid juggler, ie particularly tfunny and excites huge mirth. Beattie Bloom is a delightful comedienne who scores heavily. Harry Luck, comedian. is also great, and is responsible for much applause. The Bioscope, with its assort- ment of pictures, pathetic and humorous, augments a very fine programme. Tivoli, Pentre. The entertainment this week is again different in nature from that of previous weeks. Mr. J. F. Preston presents the well-known Oriental play, Secrets (by Max Goldberg). The Lord Chamber- lain's prohibition of the original title, "The Secrets of the Harem," has pro- bably proved a splendid advertisement, while the removal of the ban and re- granting of the license demonstrates the quality of the play. Each of the four acts includes magnificent spectacular surroundings, and the acting by the various principal characters is much to be admired. The story is probably quite common to many people, but the play itself serves to leave a far deeper im- pression. The exciting incidents are interspersed with comedy, chiefly produced by two English comedians, man and wife, who enter the Caliph's employ as concert singers. The Three Jewels are speciality dancers of good quality. The whole play is well worth witnessing. The performances of the Mikado increased in popularity during last week, from evening to evening. On Thursday there was an excellent attendance—the performers being highly applauded throughout. It is a source of satisfaction to learn that this Amateur Operatic Society did not lose financially by extend- ing the sphere of their operations to Pentre, in spite of the fact that trade locally is practically stagnant. Opera House, Treherbert. The Treherbert Picture Palace (Opera House) continues in a very flourishing state. The entertainments are of a high- class character, and the audiences are increasing in size weekly. What was, perhaps, the most topical and interesting of all the many delightful pictures shown during the first part of this week was the one described With Roosevelt in Africa." The, travels of the intrepid ex- President were shown very clearly, "Napoleon's Game of Chess was a very fine dramatic picture, whilst in A Wes- tern Cowboy's Story a picturesque little love affair is worked in amongst the highly exciting incidents of a clever plot. A Good Action Rewarded points out, in a pretty story, that "honesty is the best policy." This picture was loudly applauded. "A Cycling Honeymoon" was a very laughable film, and Bobby Wide-Awake" was also amusing. The variety turns this week are excel- lent. The Rurals perform a most novel musical aot with a dexterity which would be difficult to excel. Sylverne, the acrobat, is a marvel. He performs the most astonishing feats with the greatest ease. He is assisted by Mdlle. Florence. The Little Colonel is a pathetic story of the South African War. It is exceed- ingly well acted and secures unstinted approval. Cardiff Empire. VESTA TILLEY NEXT WEEK. The "announcement that Vesta Tilley, London's idol, is due at the Cardiff Empire on Monday next will suffice to draw crowded houses, for the popular male impersonator is an immense favourite in Cardiff. In one of her latest songs, Sydney takes his holidays in September (Naughty Boy!). she is a seaside "masher," the type of giddy youth who is generally understood to brag about the fearful life" he has led. Her representation, as usual, is a perfect marvel of character drawing, The Bros. Egbert, the happy dustmen, are also on the same. bill. Their perform- ance is an exceedingly amusing show, and thev get more fun and amusement out of the beating of an ordinary carpet in the backyard than one would imagine. The Findens are also due to appear, when they will present one of their latest and most popular sketches. Among the other items are Fred Curran, parody comedian, who has only recently returned from a most successful tour in Australia Falco and Eida, in an original Ji Jitsu speciality dancing act; Addie Adell, a very charming turn; Cu.rainiiiger and Colonna, two clever dancers; Lulu Williams, comedienne; and some excel.. lent pictures on the Bioscope screen. Pavilion Rink, Tonypandy. On Monday afternoon last, at the above Rink, Mr. Tom Andersen was the recipient of a silver cigarette case and gold-cased Albert from the patrons and staff of the above Rink on the occasion of his depar- ture to take up a responsible position in the North of England. The directors of the Pavilion also presented Mr. Andersen with a gold pendant. Mr. F. T. Studd, manager, made the presentations, the recipient suitably responding. Mr, Andersen thanked all who had subscribed so handsomely, and he sincerely wished the directors all the success which their enterprise deserved. "The Cingalee" at the Tivoli. Mr. Will Stone is to be congratulated upon having secured for Pentre that brilliantly successful musical comedy, "The Cingalee," a musical comedy of bold effects, gorgeous costumes, and rich, melodious music, in which, under ever- lasting summer skies and splendid Oriental scenes, the romantic Englishman woos and wins his bride. A prominent feature is the famous Fire Dance-an ancient custom of Ceylon, where, on the New Year's Eve at midnight, the High Priest kindles a fire, in the Tower of the Temple, this being accepted as a signal throughout the land, and the Feast of Fire is indulged in by high and low. The comedy of "The Cingalee" is its greatest feature, roars of laughter follow- ing the piece from start to finish, and this, couped with the exquisite music, seal the fact that The Cingalee" is a most enjoyable musical play. We would advise all who intend seeing this great musical comedy, to book early, as the best seats are quickly snapped up. Gymkhana at the Olympia, Pentre The grand gymkhana and skating gala on Thursday evening last proved a great success, attracting numerous competitors and skaters as well as a large number of

Blaenclydach Woodwork Class. A very successful supper in connection with the above class was held on Wednes- day last at the Aberystwyth Restaurant, Lltvynypia. presided over by Mr. A. Taylor, H.M. Inspector of Art and Handi- craft for Wales. After doing ample jus- tice to an ercellent fare provided, an adjournment was made to the concert room, where an interesting programme was gone through. In his speech, Mr. Taylor congratu- lated the students and their teacher, Mr. J. Lloyd, on the character of the work done during the session and on the bro- therly spirit that existed between them. He alluded to the skill of the old Welsh craftsmen, and mentioned that Mr. Owen M. Edwards, the Chief Inspector for Wales, took a keen interest in the sub- ject, and was anxious to foster and en- courage this talent. A photograph of the class was after- wards handed to each student by the Inspector, signed by himself; and the students showed their appreciation of his encouragement and advice by asking his acceptance of a framed copy of the photo- graph. Mr. J. Lloyd also spoke. The following programme was gone through:—Solo, "Father O'Flynn," Mr. Taylor, H.M.I.; solos by Miss Gwladys Bowen, and Messrs. Williams and Bowen; overture on piano by Mr. E. Richards; and a recitation by Miss G. Bowen. A thoroughly enjoyable evening's enter- tainment was closed with the singing of "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," the solo being taken by Mr. Taylor.

spectators The manager, Mr. Pattisson, succeeded in arranging the various items to the satisfaction of all-by, no means an easy matter, considering that there were eight events to be decided. The various amusing races, egg and spoon race, three-legged race, sack race, chariot race, and boot and card race, proved very popular, the spectators cer- tainly deriving much enjoyment; while the competitors also shared in the fun and took their wins or disappointments like sportsmen. In the ladies' four-lap race, the competition was partly spoilt by infringement of rules when first run. Finally the race was run in two heate, and the winner-Miss Phelps—fully de- served her prize. A League hockey match between Tre- orchy and Porth teams aroused intense excitement. The former team contained the stronger and more vigororts players, but the latter team took advantage of opportunities to score three goals, while Treorchy failed to score more than two goate, A drawn game would have been a fair result, considering that the Tre- orchy team did the greater amount of attacking work, The chief event of the evening was the final for the half-mile championship of the Rhondda Valley. The management offered a valuable cup as prize, to be held for one year only, and then the eup to be competed for annually. Ifbe pre- liminary heats during the last few weeks had reduced the competitors to three. Mr. H. A, Baker skated very steadily and carefully throughout and kept a good margin between himself and the second man, so that he was proclaimed the firist winner of the prize; time 2mins. 14secs. The prizes were presented by Mrs. Davies, Llewellyn's Hotel, Pentre. Prize-winners: —Egg and spoon race (ladies), Miss Nancy Nicholas, Treorchy (prize, egg stand); three-legged race (gents). Messrs. Baker and Howells (prizes, two pairs of opera glasses); ladies' four-lap race, Miss Alice Phelps; sack race, Mr. David Davies; chariot race (gents), Messrs. Baker and Howells- boot and card race (ladies and gents), Miss Phelps and Mr. S. Williams. Owing to the large number of entries in the above races, the obstacle race was postponed until Saturday, the 23rd inst., when it was won by Mr. David Davies, amid great applause and enthusiasm, Empire" Boxing Matinee. On Saturday afternoon last, a boxing tournament was held at the Empire, Tonypandy, promoted by Jim Driscoll, the featherweight champion of the world. There was a good attendance of lovers of the fistic art, and a good standard of boxing was displayed in almost every en- counter. The 9-st. competition brought out some promising lads from various parts of the Valleys, and the medal awarded by Jim Driscoll was captured by D. Jones, of Pentre. The 6-round con- test drew two clever boxers together in Naylor Kirby and Kid McCormack, the contest, however, being stopped owing to an accident, and the verdict awarded to McCormack. Jim Driscoll and Delaney, of Birmingham, gave four exhibition rounds, Jim displaying Lord Lonsdale's championship belt. On Driscoll's appear- ance, he was given a rousing reception. Another 4-round exhibition contest was given by Morgan, Penygraig (Tom Thomas' faithful second),, and Lake, Car- diff. The afternoons boxing terminated in a 10-round contest between Kid Harris, U.S.A., and Young Walters, Pontypool. Harris, who is a coloured gentleman, put up a very good show, but at the end of the ten rounds, Walters was declared winner on points. Mr. Lile acted as referee and timekeeper, whilst Mr. Dan Armstrong capably filled the role of manager. Mid-Rhondda Free Church Council. A meeting of the Mid-Rhondda Free Church Council was held on Friday evening at New Bethania Chapel, the Rev. E. Richards presiding over a good attendance of members. The discussion on the moral condition of our streets and neighbourhood revealed a sad state of affairs. The sale of Sun- day papers, opening of shops and the use of noisy gramophones on Sundays were strongly condemned, The Chairman, the Revs. J. E. Dennis, J. J. Hodson, M.A., and the secretary, Mr. A. Sutton, were appointed as a deputation to wait upon the authorities with a view to adopting stIch measures as will be necessary to abate the nuisance. The deputation will also wait upon the manager of the Rhondda Tramways Com- pany to secure his assistance in prevent- ing intoxicated persons riding on the care and using foul language, to the annoy- ance of respectable passengers,
