EVERYBODY'S TO-NIGHT GEORGES CARPENTIER AS "THE WONDER MAN" Probably this picture "The Wonder t Man," has gained Georges Carpcntler •- more popularity among the fair sex i- than his powers in the ring as boxer. •_ It was in this picture his charming r manners were made manifest, and if i.! the crowds who attended Everybody's 1, at. the beginning of the. week could ■ s have assisted the Frenchman, he would to-day be the champion of the L . world. "The Wonder Man." is a tine ,1 picture, and is to be shown at Everyt. body's to-night. lt KOSY e _______ t Karle Williams in a motor car story 1 "The Silver Car." and a beautiful Ital- " ian picture "Rife," are the outstanding features of the Kosy's week-end proe gramme. The former is full of ex--0 eitement and incident, the later is re- ''' markable for its beautiful Italian scenl ~ erv and line acting by the principal ,J lady. 0 ■ ,p PALACE. g "Hush," with the adorable Clara -" Kimball Young as the indiscreet wife ,_ who should have "hushed" about ( ' something that did not concern him, • but. instead, told of a mild affair 3 many a long day ago, and destroyed l ' the beautiful confidence he had in her. This is an object lesson with the old t saying as th» theme "What a man d does not know, cannot irritate him." -1 1 GARDEN FETE if Considerable interest is being taken d in the Plunket Nurse. Garden Fete, d which is to be held in Mr. L. A. Abrat ham's grounds on Wednesday after. e noon next.

The: third ball dashed to the .slips to Bennett who * itook a line left-handed catch. Breath- ! less silence reigned as Napier's last ihope, Ball, took centre. His luck was | out, however, and Gallichan's first ball scattered his stumps and PalmerI ston had won a wonderful game by two runs. The visitors undoubtedly owed their win to their fielding, in which department they gave a brilliant exhibition 0 which it would be-almost, impossible to _ surpass. The placing of the. field was „ excellent, ami the captaincy of the n team first-class. Galiichan bore Ihe brunt of the bowling, and kept, hi.s I length splendidly throughout. Tier and jlßrophy also bowled well. M. Beuth ;1 ! played a very tine uphill innings for j Napier.
