GOULDS, I j Castle Buildings. .Everyone knows the very attractive emporium in Castle Buildings, at the corner of Ca?tle-stroet, and College-street and it i- a pl:e where, now that Christ- mas draws near, a large proportion of the population of Swansea are calling. Here, there is a very large stock of ladies* coats, and blouses which are peculiarly' suitable as Christmas presents. There is no profiteering at thie, establishment, prices marked up are always distinctly reasonable. Ah \nstanee of this are the delightful crepe do chene blou-ses despite their exceptional quality are j ticketed at 19$. lid. What- gift could be more' acceptable to a lady? R. E. ALABASTER, Ladies' Tailor, I Heath fie Id-«t roe t. Swansea ladies know that the place for high-class tailoring is that of Mr. H. K. Alabaster, of Heafchfield-street. The' pro- prietor, who is a son of Mr. Alabaster, of Castle-square, was pupil of Mr. C. Brockington at Cardiff, and before that had experience in London. lIe is ex- clu:"in>lya ladies' tailor. Nothing ready- made is sold: but ,a large stock of high- claims materials ar- on hand for lades' coats and skiivs, and these are made up on the premises by Mr. Alabaster's own tailors. H. S. ALABASTER. I this is .something special. Nrr. 11. S. I Alabaster came in l&s;) from Fenohnrcb- street, London, and opened premises in and remained there until old Castle-street was pulled down, and the present new thoroughfare created. Having then to leave, he has jducp occu- pied premises under tho Castle" Tower. But though the business is redolent of old Swansea, there is nothing antique about the goods or the styles, which are absolutely high-class and up-to-date. This firm has always been known as possessing one of the largest as well as the most carefully selected of stocks in Swansea. MAISON BERNELLE.

To meet this need Jiaison Bernelle lidve a special display of delightful little frocks.

Another special feature are tae charming handbags which are made to match your evening sown in all the new and beautiful brocades. Very charming, also, is the display of dolls' hats. EMANUEL THOMAS AND SON. I Tins well-known firul (established in 1877) are the sole manufacturers of the "E.T." Victory Pickle, the sales of which have reached unprecedented figures. Nothing like it for flavour has been seen pn the market before. They are manufacturers also of the E.T," cordials, Gravy Colouring, Swank Sause and Vinegar. The firm are in a splAdid position to extend their whole- sa le grocery and provision trade. The wholesale fruit and potato department is also coping with a record output this1 Christmas, and the firm's fleet of motor lorries, among which are about a dozen of the ubiquitous Fords and other large motor vans, daily scour the districts. In these days of delayed transport, the district deliveries within a radius of 20 miles of Swansea are a boon and a. biessinp" to traders in the valleys and the outlying districts. WATTS JONES. I Ladies will find at thi sestahlishment a choice selection of useful articles suitable for gifts.

v AMUSEMENTS. I Round the Swansea Picture I Halls and Theatres. EMPIRE. J Uood vocal and musical entertain- ments are particularly appreciated by Swanscn, Empire audiences, and next I week an excellent act is due in the Hylda Nelson Trio, who present Gems cf Melody." Fred Sy1veStor will appear with his Pocket Hercules," diminutive performers who proffer some astonishing feats of acrobating and equipoise. Billy O'Connor brings novelty in humour and a pack of cards. As a prestidigitateur, he gets off the beaten track and serves up his tricks with a briskness and brightness that is good to watch, carry- ing on at the same time a. running fire of witty chatter with his audience. Those clever artistes, Tom Waters and Eddie Morris bringi their comedy Irish classic, entitled Father and Son," to the Empire next week, and it is safe to assume that a warm Welcome awaits I them. George Morton, aptly described as "the black dot," Clara Magda, and those famous Japanese equilibrists, Yamamoto and Miss lvoyoshi, complete the bill. I THE ELYSIUM. f If vou want your holidays to be en- joyable, don't fail to pay a visit to the Eh'sium, High-street, as the pro- grammes arranged arc splendid. For the first three days of next week the place of merit will be held by a six-part Ideal super-drama, A Grain of Dust," ^eateiring Miss Lillian Walker. It is a magnificent picture. A grain of dust, invisible, insignificant, may clog the machinery of life, drift into the wheels of Empire, alter the majestic sweep of destiny, and even blind the eyes of men and women to their vision of immor- tality. Therefore let all give heed to this smallest of created things—a grain of dust. Followers of "Elmo the Mighty" film hare enjoyed every episode so far, and they will continue to do so right. to the end. Next week's episode will show how Elmo and Lucille, with the aid of the masked rider, escapes from the entombed mine and continues their fight against the swindlers. Other fine films will also be screened. Oil Christinas Day this hall will be opened at 2 o'clock and on Boxing Day at 1.30 p.m. The extra special attraction ior the end of the week will be another powerful Ideal attraction, "My Little ,Boy." featuring Ella Hall, Zoe Rae, and Emony Johnsori. This is a delightful storv of a charming little boy and a raw old curmudgeon. "Houdini" serial and a bill fuH of other all-star films will also be shown. THEATRE ROYAL. I .Next week, lor tile nr3t tnree utys, a powerful five-reel Triangle drama en- titled" Fuel of Li fc" holds the place of merit at the Theatre Royal. '.I.be story is most exciting, whilst the acting and staging effects are remarkably clever. Episode G of the thrilling 44arill, The Lightning Baider." should prove nry exeiting and full of stirring inci- dents. The Hope Chest," featuring one of the screen tavourites, Dorothy Gish (five reels), two-reel Triangle Keystone, I, A Dog Catcner's Love," featuring Slim Summerville; ana Pathe's Gazette, containing all the latest news. For the week-end tne programme will he quite up to the high standard shown at the hall. The star film is a five-act farce adapted from the play by Augustus Thomas, entitled Mrs. Jelf- ingwell's Boots," featuring Constance Talmadge. The moral of which is that there is always more than one of a kind in the world. Two-reel comedy, His New Breakfast Food," episode 12 of the thrilling serial, The Silent Mystery. By special request of numerous patrons who failed to get in to see "TJie Ex- ploits of German Submarine tlie management have been successful m se- curing this film for the latter part of next week. Never before, probably., have moving pictures boon obtained of the loss of a ship at such close quarters. The film is extraordinarily interesting. This theatre will be open Christmas Day at 1.15 p.m., and Boxing Day at 12.15 in the afternoon. CASTLE CINEMA. I The star picture for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Castle is con- sidered something of an event in photo- dramatic history. It is entitled At the House Opposite,And is a gripping drama in seven acts presented in a novel way. At "the house opposite" someone had been done to death. The man who saw that .deed held the clue to the assassin, yet he dare not speak. A woman's honour was concerned, and bis lips were sealed. Yet in the condemned ceil an innocent man was waiting the last penalty. The silent witness knew that. How the real assassin was found is one of the biggest sensations in this crreat rnvstcrv drama. Leah Baird Mid James Morrison play the leading parts, and are sunported by an all-star caste. In addition to this masterpiece a lull programme of drama and comedy lrns will be shown" Patrons are requested to note that, as in past years, the hall will not be open on Christmas Day.

CARLTON. -.I Don't Change Your Husband, which will be shown at the Carlton on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next, is the most recent ot Cecil B. do Mille's productions for Artoraft. mctures. One of the points of the film is the cos- tomes worn by Gloria Swanson, Avto pourtravs the wife who ceased to iove her husband because lie has a taste xcr spring onions.
