ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. MOLLY BAWN,” SATURDAY. The Denis Kehoe Company arrive this evening and open the new Opera House on Saturday next with “Molly Bawn.” Tickets for early doors to gallery for Saturday and Monday’s performances by the Denis Kehoe Company will be on sale at Collier’s from 9 a.m. to-day. Persons buying day sales will be admitted at the Egmont Street entrance at 7 p.m. sharp. In selecting “Molly Bawn”. as the opening performance, Mr. Kehoe is confident that this sparkling Irish play will have a strong appeal to theatregoers in New Plymouth. It has been truly said that there is no heart like a warm Irish heart. In this pretty play of romance and wit the fine characteristics of true sons of Erin are faithfully represented. The box plans for the “’Molly Bawn” performances are now open at Collier’s. ‘Tom Moore” which will be presented on Tuesday and Wednesday, gives Denis Kehoe and his supporting players, opportunities to display their versatility. Denis Kehoe, in the name part, “Tom Moore” introduces several of the poets lyric gems and meets with great favour. The play shows Tom Moore in obscurity, then basking in the favour of the Prince Regent, courted and flattered by society and, finally, enjoying the happiness that the love of a good woman brings. Box plans for “Tom Moore” will be on view at Collier’s on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Country patrons wishing to reserve seats are requested to write to H. Collier and Co., enclosing money order for payment and stamped addressed envelope for return of tickets. EVERYBODY’S. “HIS SUPREME MOMENT.” Blanche Sweet and Roland Colman portray respectively a New York actress and a mining engineer who experiment with love in “His Supreme Moment,” a First National Picture, showing at Everybody’s Theatre to-night and to-morrow and Saturday. With her characterisation of the luxury-loving daughter of Broadway, Miss Sweet adds new laurels to her long list of screen successes and Ronald Colman, as the fiery lover, restrained by his promise, amply justifies Samuel Goldwyn’s prediction that he would be a leading candidate for the title of “perfect screen lover.” With his characteristic devotion to pictorial beauty, George Fitzmaurice, the producer, presents several important episodes of “His Supreme Moment” in natural colour by the improved Technicolour Process. The opening scenes of the picture —a lavish stage production of a Persian harem scene—and* a later stage episode depicting a Spanish drama of love are photographed in their entirety in natural colour. In addition to Miss Sweet and Colman, the cast of “His Supreme Moment” includes Jane Winton, Belle Bennett, Cyril Chadwick, Ned Sparke and Nick de Ruiz. Francis Marion wrote the screen story from May Edgintpn’s new novel, and made a good job of it. Box plans for 'the season are now open at Collier’s. THE PEOPLE’S. “INTO THE NET.” The new programme showing to-night and to-morrow at the People’s Theatre is headed by “Into the Net,” a seven reel drama made from a story written by Chief Enright, Commissioner of Police in New York. The plot of the story revolves around the disappearance of a number of rich and beautiful girls who have been kidnapped by a group of society crooks. The search for these girls forms the basis of the story. Enda Murphy and Jack Mulhall are co-featured in this production. Others prominently cast are Constance Bennett, Bradley Barker and Tom Goodwin. The storj 7 is real and its happenings are true to life. Many of the incidents are from pages of Commissioner Enright’s notebook. The manner in which the crooks are brought “into the net” is said to be gripping and the picture is full of baffling mystery. The supporting programme will include a two reel comedy, entitled “A Sailor Papa,” a Cartoon, and Pathe Gazette. Admission prices at the People’s Theatre aie: Stalls 9d, D.C. 1/3. Children will be admitted for sixpence tomorrow evening.

KING’S THEATRE. STRATFORD. “THE RAINBOW TRAIL” TO-NIGHT. The star atti action al the King’s Theatre, Stratford, to-night, will be “The Rainbow Trail,” a William Fox special attraction by Zane Grey. “The Rainbow Trail” Is a sequel to “Riders of the Purple Sage” which was screened at the King’s Theatre last week. Tom Mix is the star and the picture is, in every respect up to the high standard set by previous Zane Grey attractions. The box plan is now open at Humphrey’s. Seats may be book ed at the King’s Theatre on Thursday afternoon or by ’phone 268. FITZROY SCHOOL. Great improvements have been made at the Fitzroy School during the last few years, thanks to the energy of the school committee and the ladies who have always been willing to assist them. The whole playground has been levelled and grassed out, four tennis courts have been laid down, and very fine memorial gates are almost completed together with a stone wall all along the Barriball Street frontage. To place their finances in a satisfactory position so that further improve ments may be proceeded with, a Queen Carnival is being carried, on in the suburb and should prove very successful. All kinds of attractions have been planned by the different committees for this final gala day, and they anticipate a record gathering.
