ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. “THE LUCK OF THE NAVY.” “The Luck of tho Navy” and “The Phantom City,” the two big features that screened at Everybody’s theatre, New Plymouth, last night, will again be screened to-night and to-morrow night. A monster matinee will be held to-morrow afternoon at 2 p.m. when both features will be screened and in addition chapter 8 of “Tarzan the Mighty.” “The Phantom City” is Ken Maynard’s best offering so far. The action is speedy, there are an unusual number of thrills, and the story presents something new and novel in its unexpected twists. The locale is an old deserted mining town, with a mysterious phantom running rampant and frightening everyone who ventures too near a deserted mine. The supporting cast includes “Tarzan,” the wonder horse, and Eugenia Gilbert. “The Luck of the Navy” is a great British production and stars Evelyn Laye and Henry Victor in addition to a supporting cast of hundreds. The story tells how a girl and her naval officer lover outwit a gang of spies. A most extraordinary coincidence occurred during the production of “The Luck of the Navy.”- A certain scene was being “shot” when it was suddenly recollected that the date was August 4, and that the action being played in the studio was an exact replica of what occurred 13 years previously on that never-to-be-forgotten day. There is a gazette to open. Everybody’s orchestra provide excellent musical accompaniments.

THE PEOPLE'S THEATRE.

FAMILY NIGHT.

“Not Quite a Lady,” in which the acting honors are shared by Mabel Poulton and Maurice Braddell, will be finally screened at The People’s, New Plymouth, to-night.
