MRS. WORKING MAN!
MRS. WORKING MAN! How You Can Spend Sixpence and be Thanked for it. If you can give your husband a breakfast that makes him say ■'I never felt so well in my life work was like play this morning." like play this morning." don't you think he would thank you, Mrs. WOT king-man ? He might not notice the differealee at the time but he would notice it during his work- hours. It will cost you just sixpence (not extra money; Mr. Working-man musit drink some- thing with his breakfast) to give your husband Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa to-morrow morning. The grocer sells, it in IGel packets as well as 9d and Is 6d tins; you have simply to ask for Vi-Cocoa and get it. There is nothing cheaper; but if Vi-Coetoa were as dear as the dearest of all it would still be worth more. For Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa is cocoa, kola. malt and bc-ps. These make all the difference. There is no doubt whatever of the vrMrue in Vi-Coooa. You can'feel the benefit you derive from Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. Do not ask your grocer for cocoa. Ask for —it„ makes all the difference.

NEW THEATRE ROYAL, BARRY.
NEW THEATRE ROYAL, BARRY. SUCCESSFUL OPENING, GOOD HOUSE, EXCELLENT PLAY. Barry, a town of over thiitty thousand in- habitants, has until this week been lacking in that great essential for public amusement, a permanent theatre. Now, however, through the enterprise of Mr. Arthur C'arlton, the managing director c-f Messrs. Tours Ltd., this gap has been filled, and the local, public can bo,astt of a place of entertainment in the. Theatre Royal which is, fit to grace any town. It 16' not elabor- ate, that is to say to a superficial degree, but it provides" the main eleinienits, of public desire— restfulness in, colour and comfort in seating ac- commodation. The. exteribr is imposing, but plain the, interior is pretty witbqut needless adornment, capable of seating over 2,000 people with comfort, the, acoustic properties excellent, r and from everywhere a good view of the stage is. afforded. The building has been erected in place of the ill-fated Theatre Royal and Hippodrome, which was totally destroyed by fire in a couple of hours last November. But the former erection was more of an experiment, to see whethet there was sufficient demand for a theatre in Harry, and it was, Mr. Carlton's intention long before it was destroyed to erect a permanent structure. The result has been the new Theatre Royal, which fully comes up to the most par- ticular demands. Without any undue pomp and ceremony this new place of amusement was opened on Monday evening last when the stage was, occupied bv Mr. Robert' MacDonald's Company in The Dairymaids," a musical comedy of that light and pleasing type juslt ideal for such an event. The function was very simple. After the orchestra, under the conductorship of Mr. Paul Smythe, had rendered a couple of overtures, the'drop curtain, a charming seene of Venice, was rung up on a good house, and revealed The Dam-maids' Company, with Mr. Arthur Carlton, on the stage. The Naltional Anthem was played bv the orchestra, and was heartily taken. W by the artistes and the audience. God Bless' the Prince of Wales followed, after which Mr. Carlton stepped forward, and in a brief address welcomed the audience to the new theatre, and expressed a hope that thev would go away satisfied with the entertainment. There were still a few things yet to be carried out, but the whole building would be completed within a. short time. From the stage lie could see everyone in the. theatre, and therefore, everyone could see the stage and follow the performance. His desire was that, whether the people had paid for the most expensive seats or only the humble sixpence for the gallery, they should have a comfortable seat and a good view of the stage. (Applause.) He would like to correct an erroneous impression that had got abroad to the effect that the theatre would be opened this week and then closed for a month. This was not so. The theatre would be permanently opened from that night, and a long list of bookings included the "Merry Widow," Florodora," Silver King," Miss Hook of Holland," and a judicious mingling of musical comedies and dramas. Concluding, he -n, -r, would like to thank everyone for the part they had taken in erecting the building. Mr. Carl- tOlD introduced to the audience Mr. A. Hamil- ton Warden, his general manager, who would have charge of the theatre, and made his exit amid applause. Mr. Hamilton Warden said he was proud to be manager of such a, fine theatre, and he hoped the public would always be comfortable and enjoy the entertainment, as his first considera- tion would always be for their enjoyment. (Cheers. ) The curtain was then dropped, only to be raised a few moments later on the firslt act of the play. It is one of the best of the many musical comedies now touring, and is full of delightful songs, catchy music, pretty dances, good comedy and four love affairs. It is in bringing the love matters to an, end that it deals. The first act taker,, place in Lady BrudenelLs model dairy farm. Lady Brudenell is, in love with Dr. O'Bryne, R.M., a part excellently played by Mr. Bernard Vaugh.ai. As the austere lady, ¡ Miss Margaret Carter, returning unexpectedly to the farm, where she finids the doctor, his friends Lieut. Sa.m, Brudenell, her nephew, and Lieut. Frank Meredith, making love to her dlairy maids. Mr. Donald Price-Evans, who playa Sam, makes love in an admirable manner to Winifred (Miss Kathleen Sinico), and his brother officer to Peggy (Miss Eva Ellis). So cross is my lady that she sends the maids off to a ladies' seminary. However, with the heJp of Sam's sister Helen, the lieutenants disguise as girls, and, the doctor adopting the guise of the father, they become pupills at the Academy. The gymnasium at the Academy forms the second act, in which is introduced the famous Sandow Girl song, but this is only one of a, host of pleasing numbers. The company, from chorus to principal, is an excellent one, and as Joe Mivens, the doctor's servant, who makes love to Eliza, a maid of all work, Mr. Norman Bower and Miss Ruby Lewis, cause the house to rock with laughter at their antics, novel dances, etc. They are botth as if born to their parts. Seen after the play, Mr. Andrew Spe,ns, the manager, and all the principal members of "The Dairymaids," expressed delight wifth the theatre, especially the dressing room provision for ar- tistes, and the acoustic properties of the new buildings. Mr. Carlton was highly pleased. It more than c-oimes up to my anticipations," he said, and I am fully satisfied with to-night's house and performance." The public are invited to inspect the new building to,-day and to-morrow (Thursday and Friday).

Ernest Knapinan), the archi- tect of the build,ing, and expressed pleasure that the theatre, for accommodation and genearl convenience, was equal to any in' the country. From all parts of the building an, admirable view of the stage was ofbtained, and this was an important feature in, any pU4e of public amusement. The whole, structure reflected great credit upon the design of Mr. Knapman. Mr. Carlton also wished to thank Ijfcie contrac- tors, builders, and sub-contraefcare for the HU&terial service they had rendered, in Bringing about such a very excellent ræult, In reply, Mr. Knapman sincerely thanked Mr. Carlton for the tribute of efficiency he had paid him, and stated that without Mr. Carlton's co- operation, he would not have been able to have accomplished the work. The toast of the health of the contractors and sub-contractors was submitted by ,Mr. F. P.

(Cheers.) Mr. Carlton, acknowledging the toast, thanked all present for the kind way in which they had honoured him. He invited the company pre- sent. to conclude the evening by paying a short visit to the theatre.

THE NEW PICTURE PALACE.
THE NEW PICTURE PALACE. The auditorium is- a pleasant surprise, amd the hall is one of the prettiest picture palaces in the country. It is comforrtalbly seated- every seat in the house being upholstered, and a very considerable number are arm chairs. The bioscope house fulfils the latest require- ments of the Cinematograph Act, being built outside the auditorium entirely of fireproof material, a stone wall dividing the room fnom. the audience. The bioscope room is fitted with every up-to-date contrivance of cinemato- graphy, and everythfing is duplicated, So that in the, case of one bioscope breaking down, another is always ready to take its place. The pictures shown at the Kings Hall will be the best upon the market, and the enterlammeilllt will be particularly selected to suit the family cir- cle. It is felt that the bioscope, entertainment will be a lasting concern of amusement, but great discretion is neceseatry if it is to be am amusement to which a 'father can bring the whole family circle. The pictures will be com- pletely changed every Monday and Thursday.
