AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. The management of Everybody's have been fortunate enough to obtain one of the popular “Famous Players” as the loading feature of to-night !s----programme. "The Call of the North”' is a film done very best style; of these producers, and ranks as one of the best dramatic productions yet offered at this theatre. The story concerns, young Ned Stewart, who. for, defying: the laws of the trading company, is sentenced to make the of death,, as his father did before him. A man sentenced to make the journey of death has to walk across the bleak, barren, snow-covered plains, five hundred miles to civilisation, without food o-r arms. The factor’s daughter, Virginia, falls in love with Stewart, and promises to aid him. Her endeavours to do so are discovered by the villian of the story, Raud, who tries to injure young Stewart, but is foiled eventually and shot. Before his death ho confesses to the wrong he did years before. This causes the factor, Albret. to relent and consent to the marriage of the brave ycung woodsman. This remarkable story loses nothing of its ocect in thei picture dramatisation. Some of the; scenes are distinguished by remarkable grandeur. .The thirteenth episode of “The Broken Coin” serial is also responsible for an interesting story. The programme will be shown for one night only.

THREE STARS,

The programme at the Three Stars last night was as remarkable for its variety as for its general all-round excellence. The film showing scenesin Colombo was a most interesting one particularly the one where the tame monkeys are screened. The “War in. Africa” is brought home to us by illustrations of the native troops our men are fighting against. “An Excursion to the Chateau Chambord" is a Splendid specimen of Pathe colour cinematography. The Pathe Gazette brings us right up-to-date in topical happenings. Th e humour of the evening was provided by an exceedingly funny film entitled “His Dukeship,” in which an impressionable man assumes the personality of a duke in order to meet the girl who has captured his fancy. The incidents are ludicrously funny. In the drama, “Going Straight,” the figllt of a man and woman to live down their'past'is admirably depicted, and the Climax' is reached when the man, t 6 wife and the mother of his children, yields to the threats of a former,accomplice. However, all ends' Th e “Swiss Milk Industry” film is also very informative, and -the programme is one that for variety and quality is hard to excel.' It will be shownn for the last time to-night.
