Entertainments.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE, BESSIE BARRISCALE IN "JEALOUSY;" There will be final screenings to-day at/Everybody's from 1 to 10 p.m. of the big feature drama "Jealousy," or "The Green Swamp," in which Miss Bessie Barriscale gives a remarkably good performance of tne Jealous wire, "whose heart ia as an evil green, swamp," and who is suspicious of every look her husband (a doctor) gives another woman. The foolish jealousy almost leads to grim tragedy, when, not believing that her husband is ill, but that he has pretended illness to get away from her, the jealous wife is about to break into the room where her husband is undergoing a delicate operation for tetanus contracted while attending a patient. The supporting bill is an excellent one.

PALACE THEATRE. "THE EXPLORER. It is not often that a modern drama that has created world excitement, reaches the picture screen. "The Explorer" was so original in its conception, so profound in its delineation of great minds in action, and so humanu in its depiciton of human motives at war, that it made Somerset Maugham's name in one hearing. The actiotn is sustained, that is, the story retains its intense and searching interest in all the swift transitions of the scenario from London High Society Life to African Jungle and back gain.- The great 'character of the name part is portrayed by Lour Tellegen, an actor whose beauty is overwhelming. His face has the aquiline, forceful charm of the doer of great deeds, and his acting is dynamic in its tremendous force and strength. This great picture is Avell worthy of the Lasky Studios and is a feast for picture goers. However, the supporting programme is particularly excellent. The Bray Cartoon, "Haddem Bad's Elopement" is preceded by an almost incredibly unca' ny study of an orang-outang's wickedly human expression at meals. The Cartoon itself is a quaint and uproarious presentment of life in the Stone Age. Loveletters weighing half-tons, the Sniffinhound, a prehistoric monster, and Rinkusdinkus, a prehistoric animal that might be seen in a bad dream, contrive to make the elopement the zenith of genuine fun. The London Film Company feature "The Twt> Columbines." In this play, many of the scenes are stage scenes of a London Christmas Pantomime, and the back of the stage views are most absorbing. The small girl actress is most demure and sweet, and the story of the play is original and striking. A matinee will be' held to-day at 2 o'clock and the programme is eminently suitable for children.

HENRI DE LISSAC. Next Sunday evening at the Palace Theatre at 8.15 p.m., the people of Palmerston will have an opportunity of hearing the very clever Russian boy violinist Henri de Lissac. The lad is said to be a born artist, and his programmes would be an exacting test lor many an aider player. He comes to Palmerston with flattering references from the Press in other centres and Ms srered concert here on Sunday night should prove a big draw. It is pleasing to know that Henri de Lissac handed over to patriotic funds proceeds of Sunday concerts in Timaru, Dunedin, Invercargill, and Otautau, which amounted to over £IOO. Henri de Lissac is assisted by his tiny brother Maurice, a quaint little 'cellist, whose years number three.

KOSY THEATRE i

"EMMY OP STORK'S NEST."

There were large attendances at the Kosy Theatre yesterday at all sessions when the current popular programme was again screened, evoking satisfied applause. The principal film is a picture featuring Mary Miles Mintcr in "Emmy of Stork's Nest," which is described as better than "Always in the Way." There is also shown Episode 7 of "The Trey o' Hearts," "The Nation's Food," "The Come-back of Percy," and others. An especially good bill is announced for Monday, including "The Ballet Girl," a five-act drama; "The Panama Exposition, 1 ' and a series of exciting submarine pictures. There will be a repetition at all sessions today and to-night.

SUBMARINE PICTURES. The famous Williamson Bros.' Submarine Pictures are to be shown in New Zealand at last, and will be screened for three days at the Kosy Theatre on Monday, under the direction of W. & F. Williams, who have secured this novel attraction for the' Dominion at a big expense. For centuries men have wondered what rested below the surface of,the waters which cover threo-lifths of the earth. The Williamson pictures take you on a journey of nearly one hundred miles in length, which is filled with adventure and discoveries along the floor of the ocean —the most marvellous trip in the world—viewing enchanted sea gardens of the West Indies, exploring fifty-year-old wrecks by deep sea divers, crossing ocean meadows inhabitated by cannibal sharks, watching strange denizens of the deep in their native haunts; and, finally, the most surprising scene ever photographed, a life-risking combat between one of the Williamson brothers and a man-eating shark in front of the camera under the ocean. An ordinary programme will be shown in addition at the usual prices.
