ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “ A DOUBLE BILL FOR TO-NIGHT. A brilliant double feature programme will be shown at Everybody’s for tonight only, headed by Justine Johnsone (the famous screen beauty) in a Paramount feature, “The Plaything of Broadway,” and supported by Jack Warren Kerrigan in a five reel Western feature, “The Turn of a Card.” “The Plaything of Broadway” is set in Broadway and East Side—the one richly eyotic, the other coloured in the drab shades of poverty and despair Justine Johnstone appears as Lola, a hot-house flower, whirling in shimmering beauty, moth-like about a hungry flame. The Thirty Club is introduced with its millionaire roues, whose brainracking day in Wall street gives way to the clamorous night when invocations! to the goddess pleasure are offered up. amidst orgies and scenes of the wildest' abandon. Tossing and seething in rhe mystic crucible of fate, these elements! fashion themselves into a shining, gold ribbon of pure entertainment which unfolds itself before the spectator in dazzling colour and perfect sequence. “The Turn of a Card” is a Western romance with a story admirably gifted to the special abilities of Jack Warren Kerrigan. The ninth episode of ‘“’Nan of the North” will be included. MATINEE AT 2 P.M. The matinee programme will consist of “The Turn of a Card.” '“Nan of the North,” the Gaumont Graphic. “Pathe Review” and “The Landlady,” a Reelcraft comedy. Children will be admit ted to the matinee for sixpence. THE PEOPLE’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. Miss Alice Brady will be seen to-day and to-night only at the People’s Theatre in her latest Selznick re’ease “Her Silent Sacrifice.” Selznick pictures feel very proud over their acquisition of this star’s services. In all her films Miss Brady has the advantage of a thrilling story, high-grade direction and unstinted expense to help her make her work attain a high degree of perfection. “Her Silent Sacrifice” tells the story of a simple little country maid, who falls in love with a struggling artist. In order to gain for him the of the Parisian art, centre, she consents to sacrifice herself to a notorious old rogue. The picture, is full of tense moments, and Miss Brady carries her audience to great emotional heights. The supporting films include episode six of “With Stanley in Africa,” Comedy and Topicals. Admission prices are as usual. “FOOLISH WIVES,”- MONDAY.

The long-waited-for picture sensation, “Foolish Wives,” commences its New riytQont.h aeasQn t of thr e nights at the

People’s Theatre next Monday. For every minute that it is shown, more than £lOOO has been spent in its production. But one forgets in terms of money ai one watches the unfolding of the drama; gazes in fascination at a world more strong# than the customs of a savage land —a world of wealth and wanton folly and fashion’s frivolities. Without parallel in the world’s history the exotic life of Monte Carlo has created its own atmosphere —an atmosphere reproduced down to the smallest detail of the surroundings, the magnificent Casino, the Cafe de Paris, the chateaux and villa's, the gardens and the seas; the streets, the cosmopolitan crowds. Erich von Stroheim wrote, directed and is featured in “Foolish Wives.” The box plans for the three mights are now open at Collier’s. The picture commences at 7.45 sharp each night. SCOTCH CONCERTS. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. Pleasant recollections of toe last Scotch concert should ensure a full house on Monday and Tuesday next at he concerts to be held in aid jf the uniform fund for the New Plymouth pipe band. The' band has been very generous in assisting at various local functions, and the Caledonian Society is anxious that the band should possess uniforms of their own. An excellent programme has been arranged, and the public should not. miss this opportunity of witnessing the Highland and fancy dancing of Jean and Thelma Mackenzie, of Wellington, Dominion champions. Harry Hall, Masterton, scotch comedian and humorist, who has no equal in the Dominion in character impersonations, will appear in several humorous sketches, which will give general delight. Several well-known local artists are assisting, and a good night’s entertainment is assured. Popular prices of 3/3 and 2/2 (including tax) will be charged, and the plan is at Collier’s.
