Tivoli Pentre.
Tivoli Pentre. The chief place on the bill at the Tivoli this week is filled by the world- renowned Boisset Troupe in their divert- ing sketch, The Bricklayers." It is the most amusing skit seen at the Tiv." for a long time, and from the rise to the fall of the curtain the audineces are con- vulsed with laughter by the mirthful antics of the members of the company. Quite a novel turn is given by Ida Kathrena, the dolly girl, whose terp- sichorean scena, Carnival of Toys," gains her much popularity. Lazern, the mystic, a native of Australia, gives a clever display of legerdemain, concluding with a disappearing watch trick. Harry Zetter shows us something new in eccen- tric dancing. Kimberley and Melbourne, cross-talkers; Bessie Callow, ballad vocalist; and up-to-date films oil the Bioscope conclude the programme.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
WORDS OF WISDOM. QRxa supreme excellence i3 simplicity. A loTiag- heart will make a thoughtful head. loosing1 theaxt is only a form of losing one's ymt We all be actors; somebody must watch j tho show, n is often more difficult to forget than it is to temember, Aaxiefcy never yet successfully bridged over mxj chasm. iiien have ambition, but it's application counts. I Idleness travels very leisurely, and poverty •BOD. overtakes her. T'ue unprofitable thing to hold in this dd. is a grudge. Don's give all your sympathy to the poor. The fcioh need some of it. People who have no opinions are uninterest- lag ;hey never quarrel. The more we learn to improve our time, the lees we find of it to lose. Faith is the silken garment of the soul; dis- belief the rags- and tatters. | Happiness cannot be counterfeited; the real N-19 is too easily recognised. iYOiJ. will never "find" time for anything. If p7!J. want time you must make it. Argument is a device generally employed to tIonvinoo ourselves that we are right. It is from the remembrance of joys we have lost that the arrows of affliction are pointed. When a man aims high and fails to hit the mark, he is apt to complain that the mark was too low, We reduce life to the pettiness of our daily IiTI-ag; we should exalt our living to the gran- deur of life, n n one of the easiest things in the world to wnvàwc a coward that discretion is the better part of valour. Hospitality is for the benefit of those who dol1. need it. For those who need it we have a. p cheap substitute called charity. The habit of viewing things cheerfully, and thinking: about life 'hopefully, may be made to grow up in us like any other habit. Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity there are « hundred that will stand adversity. See that all the hours of the day are so full of interesting and healthful occupations that there Ili no chance for worry to stick his nose in. to. some people arrogance takes the place of grtne&3 of mind; want of humanity the room oc firmness of character, and low cunning of understanding. He that goeth about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well governed as they ought to be shall never want attentive and favourable hearers.—HOOKER. The worth of a civilisation is the worth of the man at its centre. When this man lacks moral rectitude, progress only makes bad worse, and FURTHER embroils social prcblems.-CHARLES WGNER, Inexhaustible good nature is indeed the most precious gift of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather. The good which a holy, self-sacrificing man does in life is scattered here and there in little f,agirient-A of blessing; a kindness to a child, a glance of pity, a sympathetic word, an answer- tag- "mile. The great things he is called upon to do make but little part of the real value of his Me Opportunities for doing greatly seldom occur, far life is made up of infinitesimals. If you com- ■ (¡.cIte the happiness in any given day, you will H find, that it was composed of small attentions, H kind looks which made the heart swell, the S g-l1tr.ø word that removed half the weight of a tardea. I OPPORTUNITY. H JLifo'g greatest opportunities are not like the B great snips which sail from tiie cniet ports ui world, which sail and come again and sail at attted intervals from the eame ports. The great chMoas touch once at the pier of our lives, throw out the planks of opportunity over which our feet may pass, ring their signal bells in our ears, and then sail out of the harbour and away 111(;0 the eternal sea and never come again. The Itfcfcte chances linger and return, but the great chuaoea come and go and never come again. If With illuminated sight we could look back over the lives of the people by whom we are suf- rounded, how many great and rich opportunities would we see that they have permitted to drift by tbsm unimproved ■ FA GOLDEN RULE. (4373r remember the thing one could wish 'otherwise. Never forget any benefit, or favour, or pleasure, or enjoyment. Taken together, the two make up a golden rule for all individual and all .social life—a rule which cannot but conduce t4,, phonal happiness. PROVIDENCE. Round about what if, lies a whole mysterious wocldof what might be—a psychological romance of possibilities and things that do not happen. B/ going out a few minutes sooner or later, by stopping to speak with a friend at a. corner, by meeting this man or that, or by turning down t astreet instead of the other, we may let slip IIOme great occasion of good, or avoid some im- pending evil. by which the whole current of our liraa would have been changed. There is no jposaible solution to the dark enigma but the one wood Providence." THE GAP QUICKLY FILLED. Wd cannot too soon convince ourselves how eMfity we may be dispensed with in the world. We think that we alone are the life of the circle ia which we move; in our absence we fancy that life, existence, and breath will come to a. general pause; and, alas, the gap that we leave is scarcely perceptible, so quickly is it filled again —aay, it io often but the place, if not for some- thing better, at least for something more agree- ■ab-LE.— GOETHE. THE LAWS OF NATURE. The laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The eieaienas no forbearance. The fire burns, | the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth g buries, And perhaps it would be well for our caoe if the punishment of crimes against the laws of man were as inevitable as the punishment of CCialle6 against the laws of Nature—were man as unerring in his judgments a Nature. BEAR YOUR OWN BURDEN. Sufficient unto most people is their own birdell. Do not pile your load upon othere. Do not distress them with your aches and pains, your doubts and fears and forebodings. Do not tell them of your mental and moral infirmities. They will find them out soon enough without your help, and possibly will see them more clearly than you do yourself. If there is a cloud in your heart do not let it appear in your face. {Bear your own burden bravely. You can lighten it by giving others a lift. THE TRUE RICHES. What is he worth? we ask of the rich man, when we should inquire: W hat did it coet him?" Prosperity may be poverty: or, as Ruskin puts it. wealth may be illth." Suppose t& harp selling its strings to buy music; it parts wth them one by one, beginning with the bass, and at last finds its power to make music wholly gone. So men barter soul wealth for body gain, and pawn jewels of their immortality for the treasures of time. But a rich soil is always rich. HARD WORK BENEFICIAL. Hard work, mental or physical, rarely ever tills. If a mild amount of physical exercise be taken and a judicious amount of food be fur- nished, the surface protected with proper cloth- ing, and the individual cultivates a philosophical nature and absolutely resolves to permit nothing to annoy or fret him, the chances aTe that he can do an almost unlimited amount of work for aa indefinite length of time, bearing in mind ■always that, when weariness comes, he must rest and not take stimulants and work upon false ■capital, r.

: Hippodrome, Tonypartdy.
Hippodrome, Tonypartdy. A tremendous holiday bill of fare is provided at the Hippodrome;, and thou- sands Of amiusiement-sleekers have clamoured for admission this week. Bo Bender and his Troupe of Giants appear in a merry mix-up as they appeared in a recent Drury Lane pantomime. The troupe comprises puny dwarfs from 2ft. to towering giants 20ft. high. Of course, the giants are made up, but their performance is certainly unique. The Pender Troupe preface their per- formance with very funny knockabout business, and their putting of a man together who hai previously been blown to pieces," is very clever. The Brooklyn Comedy Four contribute a number of very pleasing selections, interspersed with ex- cellent comedy. Each member is the pos- sessor of a fine voice and the voices blend to a wonderful degree, Hubert Connorton and Partner are, greatly appreciated in the comical sketch, entitled The Tired One." This sketch is full of ludicrou situations and provokes hearty laughter. "The Squire and the Dairymaid" is the title of the comedy act presented by Clive and Vera._ Their cross-talk is very smart, whilst their mechanical cow is responsible for a great deal of fun. Marjorie Ceal, refined comedienne, makes up a stron programme. In the picture portion, The Spanish Girl is a splendid picture story, whilst another powerful drama in pic- tures is 'Twixt Red Man and White." Amongst the humorous section Fools- head is again to be found, also a screamingly funny picture, entitled The Hair Restorer."
Theatre Royal, Tonypandy.…
Theatre Royal, Tonypandy. [ Frank Harvey's comedy drama, Shall We Forgive Her," has proved a good draw at the Royal during this week, the -house being well filled each evening. It is well presented by Messrs. Bainard and Eden's company, the whole of the artistes being well up to their work. A special attraction is announced for next week, when the boards will be occu- pied by Miss Ida Molesworth and Mr. Mark Blow's company, who will presen the great London and American success, From Slave to Princess." It is a romantic drama similar to those recently produced at the Lyceum Theatre, Lon don, and is full of exciting and sensa- tional ituations) interspersed with amusing comecfy scenes and bright gongs and dances. The company presenting ili9 pjay is an exceptionally strong one. Miss Agnes Verity, who will be remembered by local playgoers for her splendid per- formance of Dynamite Ann in "At Crinnle Creek," will play u Vera," £ part in which she excels anything she has already done. Miss Dora Gilham, who has just concluded a starring engagement in South Africa, will play the "Countess," and Mr. Wernham Ryott has been specially engaged for the part of Prince Vladimer." The entire scenery and effects are travelled by the company, and the production wttl be found to be com- plete in every detail. Mr. Duckworth is to be congratulated upon having made arrangements to secure the fihn of the funeral of his late lamented Majesty King Edward VII. (which will be shown at every performance next week). The film, which is 1,500 feet long, will show the entire procession from the start from Westminster Hall to Padding- ton Station, and again from the station at Windsor to the St. George's Chapel, where the remains will be interred. The procession, which is most unique in his- tory, comprising as it does nine Kings, which will follow the remains. Mr. Duckworth has secured this film at great exspense, and we are sure his enterpris will be rewarded by crowded houses.
Empire, Tonypandy.
Empire, Tonypandy. The holiday programme at the Empire is a solid two hours' feast, in which the finest vaudeville, courses" are served with signal success. Cruikshanks, who has rightly been termed The Inimitabl One," tops the bill, and provokes a long, loud laugh during the whole time he occupies the boards. His stories are ex- veedmgly funny, whilst his parody of the popular song "Somewhere" is particu- larly happy. Another side-splitter is th capital sketch produced by Charley Harvey and Company. The sketch is entitled "The Broken Statue," and con icerns an amazingly'daring scheme to dupe an uncle. The statue is emphatically a moving specimen of the, sculptor's art, and behaves in a manner that would give pain to any self-respecting statue, whether of marble, bronze or common clay. Laurie Ley ton, a clever young ventriloquist, is also very successful in his turn; whilst Jules Kiaro provides some exciting moments with his new tricks. Vio Lan and Daisy Hicks are comediennes with catchy songs, and Ben Thompson contri- butes another Empire Song Sheet number'. The Empiroscope projects some capital pictures, notably The Ingenious Safe Deposit" and "The Squire's Romance." GOTZ v. HAZEL. Owing to the unsatisfactory termination oi the wrestling match between the above two well-known wrestlers on Friday even- ing last, we are authorised to state by the Tonypandy Empire management that they are doing their best to arrange an- other meeting between the two men, which will be duly announced in our columns.
Palace Porth.
Palace Porth. The star turn at the Palace this week are the original Four Regals in a sen- sational scena, The Armourers." For astonishing feats of strength, their equal has not been seen at the Palace. One of them is truly a modern' Hercules. He swings a blacksmith's anvil about with his teeth as if it were a toy. Thick iron bars are also bent with apparent ease. Very smart are the Five Bombays in a vocal and dancing act. Charming artistes, excellent vocalists and expert dancers, they are m loud demand. Jack Laird, Scotch comedian, is also a capable artiste and receives great applause. Maude Forde, in her latest songs and dances, is superb. Bert Errol, the lady, possesses a phenomenal voice, and contributes an item par excellence. Frank E. Taylor, quaint comedian, is also peculiarly funny and causes much amusement. Ugo Nap also. scores heavily with some comedy business. The, pictures on the Bioscope, as usual, are most interesting and enter- taming, and augment a fine programme.
Opera House, Treherbert.
Opera House, Treherbert. Large holiday crowds were attracted to the Opera House during the former part of this week, and, as usual, an excellent entertainment was presented. They were very well satisfied and delighted audi- ences which left the theatre after the performances each evening. The two pic- tures of most educational value during the first part of the week were Maure- tania at Fishguard" and Moonstone." The latter was a superb spectacle, and gave the audience many an exciting thrill. The Countess' Revenge" was a very tragic and dramatic picture, with a well-arranged plot. The audience was immensely tickled by The Romance, of Boot and Slipper." From the loud applause given, A Dog's Sagacity seemed to be a most popular picture. The keen instincts, intelligence, and sagacity of the dog in this picture were instru- mental in discovering a foul deed and fixing the crime on the guilty person. Convulsions of mirth were invariably pro- duced by the pictures, entitled The Sailor's Monkey," Mr. Godabout's Christmas, and Stickfast Paste." The following pictures are shown during the latter part of this week:—"The Kind- Hearted Employer," Subterfuge," "Foolshead, Hero," Va,gabones' Adven- ture," Comedy and Tragedy," Matri- monial Shoes," Dash to Death," Case of Tomatoes," and Mr. Jones, Burglar." Not only were the pictures of a high wucr, but the variety side of the enter- tainment was also of a capital nature. The Boriskis were smart young comedians and knoo a outs. Their jokes were not of the usual stale kind. They were fllld imparted to the audi- ence, and were received with delight. Mdlle. Delamere's Table Circus was a very interesting turn. Performing rabbits, cats, dogs, doves, rats, &c., take various parts. The only performing rabbits in the world are seen. Everyone should see the rats' flight in the airship.
Cardiff Empire.
Cardiff Empire. One of the funniest productions yet staged will be seen at Cardiff Empire next week, viz., Parker, P.C." The outstanding personality is Chas. Austin, 9 the popular comedian, in the title role. He is the man who declines to follow burglars into the jeweller's shop, as he is afraid the police might arrest him for being an accomplice. Discharged from the constabulary for incompetence, Austin opens an opposition station, where the charges are lower. For instance, a person who would be fined 40s. or a month at the station of the genuine police, would only be charged 10s. for a similar offence by P.C. Parker. Mr. Austin will be sup- ported by a capable company of artistes. The Seven Perezoffs, clever Continental jugglers, are at the bottom of the bill, and will present their great Continental juggling pantomime, An Animated Supper in a Parisian Cafe"; Harvey's American Boys and Girls, including Daisie Dennis, in her original Teddy Bear" novelty song; Ejfchel Newman, musical comedy actress, in monologues, entitled" Hel: Wedding Day"; and Chas. Norton, the popular mimic of star artistes, in Pros, at the Races," are hilled prominently for next week. Other attractions include:—Tom E. Hughes, vocal comedian Lola Patey, comedienne Frank Lynne, an amusing comedian; and Chas. J. Johnson, the Black Diamond."

Pavilion Rink, Tonypandy.
Pavilion Rink, Tonypandy. Roller skating has been very much in vogue this Whitsun, and a glance at the patronage of the various rinks reveals as much interest in rinking as ever. At the Pavilion, large crowds of merry rinkers have indulged in this pastime on wheels, accompanied by lively music on the grand electric organ. The extra long; sessions. have been taken advantage of. and skaters have enjoyed themselves to the full. Outside the Pavilion and in the grounds, The Funmakers have been very suc- cessful on the open-air stage, amusing large concourses of people with their witticism and catchy songs, &c. Miss Hilda Hudson (soprano) is responsible for some excellently rendered songs, and in association with Mr. Dick Lloyd (bari- tone and humorist) appears -in some very original and humorous duets. The other artistes, along with Mr. Stanley Goddard (musical director), are -i-eatly appre- ciated.
! BLOODLESS CONQUEST.
Olympia, Pentre- The Olympia Rink, Pentre, has also been the venue of large numbers of skaters, who have enjoyed themselves in no small way. We are authorised to state that the grand summer carnival and confetti fete that was toTiave been held at the Olympia to-night (Thursday) lias been postponed until Saturday evening, the 21st inst., when the carnival will take place as advertised. A splendid evening's amusement is anticipated, and patrons can rest assured that such will be the; case, for everything will be done to secure their enjoyment.
