THE PEOPLE’S. MATINEE TO DAY AT 2 P.M. John Gilbert, who starred some time ago in “Monte Cristo,” will appear at the People’s Theatre this afternoon, tonight and Monday, in "The Lone Chance,” a William Fox feature. While the new picture is modern in setting, it has almost as many thrills as there were contained in the Dumas masterpiece. “The Lone Chance” is dramatically presented in a swift, convincing manner. The story itself is replete with romant’c action and thrilling episodes. Gilbert carries off his character portrayal smoothly, and Evelyn Brent, playing the feminine lead, has a charming personality. Other films to be shown include a two-reel comedy, a further chapter of "Beasts of Paradise,” and a Fox News film. Admission prices at the People’s Theatre are: Stall- 9d, dress circle Is 3d (children 6d to matinee). EMPIRE THEATRE. “TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR-ROOM.” ‘•Safety Last” concluded its season at the Empire Theatre last evening. The new programme for to-night is headed •by "Ten Nights in a Bar-room,” an eight-reel pieturisation by L. iSase Russell of the old stage sensation of the same name.

Admission prices at the Empire this evening are: Adults Is and Is fid. children Gd and 9d. MALE CHOIR AND ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY.

The programme, which is a very attractive one, should appeal to lovers of either vocal or instrumental music and elocution. The visiting artist, Miss Teresa McEnroe, brings with her a great reputation. Of her recent appearance in Wellington the following Is an extract from the Dominion. “In the Golden Legend” she took the part of Elsa, her singing of that role reached a peak of excellence that she never before attained. The soprano made this impression strong in her finst solo, “Why Should I Live.” and again in her very 'beautiful rendering of the devotional number. "My Redeemer and My Lord.” An exhausting test was set her in the supplementary number presented before "The Legend,” and this was handled in a masterly manner. The numbers to b? submitted by the orchestra are of an ambitious character. A treat is in store for those who appreciate this class of miuiu
