ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE TURNING POINT.” A girl’s sacrifice to restore matrimonial harmony is the underlying thought of “The Turning Point,” Katherine MacDonald’s latest production, which will be shown at Everybody s tonight and to-morrow. As Diana Tennant, Miss 'MacDonald is afforded the chance of her career for portraying the emotions of a New York society girl burdened with the shadow of a past and endeavoring to maintain the honor of her name. The story is by Robert W. Chambers and is one of his best novels. There is a fine supporting programme, including a new song picture “The Children’s Home,” a delightful featurette with song solo iby Miss Annie White; the eleventh, episode of “Winners of the West” and a comedy and Gaumont Graphic. Prices of admission remain as usual. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE BEAR CAT.” ■Smiling Hoot Gibson, the world s champion cowboy for the past ten years, and the most active of screen Westerners, capable of any saddling stunt, a good actor with an agreeable personality, is screening at the People’s tonight in his latest Western picture “The Bear Cat.” It is described, as a riproaring story of the jolly old west. The star. Hoot Gibson is se<Sn as a likeable young cowboy who tries to convince the community that he is a real bad man, can handle two guns better than any other fellow in the business, and proves it at every conceivable opportunity. Now and again he has to take the “call down,” but when the time comes to prove that he is a real man in action he is all there with bells on. It is a very able story of its kind, and will hold the eyewitness in a continual state of excitement to say nothing of thrills. The supporting films include Century comedy and Topical films. THE EMPIRE. “THROUGH THE BACK DOOR” TO-NIGHT. Owing to the great success of the two night season of Mary Pickfords “Through the Back Door” at Everybody’s the management have arranged to give a final showing to-night at the Empire Theatre. “Through the Back Door” is without doubt Mary’s greatest picture yet released. It is not only full of fun and happiness in the first two reels but develops into gripping melodrama as the picture proceeds. Those patrons who think Mary can only portray child roles get a decided surprise with “Through the Back Door.” To-night will be positively the final screening in New Plymouth, as the picture is booked for Waitara to-morrow afternoon and night.
