ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S. “SHOW PEOPLE.” If you’ve never visited a motion picture studio, don’t fail to see Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s ‘‘Show People,” which is now showing at Everybody's, New Plymouth. The picture co-stars Marion Davies and William Haines, and offers the most interesting picture of a motion picture studio ever drawn. Not that “Show People” hasn’t other attractions to offer—it has John Gilbert, Douglas Fairbanks, Mae Murray, Leatrice Joy, Norma Talmadge, Ro’d La Rocque, Charles Chaplin and many other great screen stars. It will probably rank as the best and most unusual comedy of the year. Marion Davies is easily America’s leading comedienne, and William Haines tops his own particular field. The story is entirely new, unusual, and full of a million laughs. King Vidor has taken the story of a little Southern girl who comes to Hollywood, enters motion pictures and eventually rises to stardom, and with this material has made use of all the funny incidents of life in the film capital that have occurred in the last years. The result is a masterpiece. A word should be said also for the very excellent work of the regular cast, which includes Polly Moran, Tenen Holtz, Del Henderson, Paul Balli, Sidney Bracey and Harry Gribbon. Special added attractions are “Songs of Spain,” a Music Master Series, and English Motor-cycle Film (by arrangement with New Plymouth Motor-eyele Club). The supports include M.G.M. News, New Zealand scenic, and “Wrong Again” (a two-reel comedy). Everybody’s orchestra are in attendance. THE PEOPLE’S. “The Harvest of Hate,” featuring Rex, the wild horse, and Jack Perrin, and “Wyoming,” starring Tim McCoy, are two features showing at the People’s, New Plymouth, to-night and to-morrow night. “The Harvest of Hate” tells the story of a circus rider, forced to seek shelter after running away from the attentions of a man who -had bought the circus. She finds a place to stay in the cabin of Jack Merritt, who protects her from her pursuers, wins her love, and then marries her. “Wyoming,” is Tim McCoy’s latest outdoor romance. Many famous old Indian Chiefs appear in this picture, together with hundreds of real Red men from the Wyoming reservations. The story is one of the early settlement days when the whole families travelled by covered waggons along the Oregon trail to Wyoming to produc- . five lands In the interior—waggon loads of courage and endurance, or good humour and high hopes, .of love making and not a few happy marriages en route. Dorothy Sebastian heads a strong supporting cast. The supports include a two-reel Andy Gump comedy, International News and Empire Bulletin, i
