ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S. FAMILY NIGHT. She breaks into the movies and she breaks up the audiences. That, in brief, is what Marion Davies accomplishes with William Haines in “Show People,” which is finally showing at Everybody’s, New Plymouth, to-night. The story is the romance of a girl who comes to the film colony, enters pictures by the comedy route, becomes a dramatic star, nearly loses everything because her success goes to her head, and is. saved at last by the machinations of William Haines, and by her own sense of humour. The supporting items include “Songs of Spain,” a Music Master series, English motor-cycle film, “Wrong Again” (comedy), N.Z. Scenic, Australian Scenic and M.G.M. News. “Two Red Roses” and “Quinneys” are the two features showing on to-morrow’s change of programme. “Two Red Roses” is a film epic of dramatic and romantic events which result from the superstition of a wealthy man. A talented cast headed by Liane Haid and Harry Halm interpret this magnificent story, showing how a little florist who'knows the language of the flowers, finds life completely changed through superstition. “Quinneys” is a unique British production based on Horace Anncsley Vachell’s imaginative and romantic character study of an antique dealer who valued “things” higher than people—until a happy married life brought success and | new experiences. Alma Taylor and John I Longden head a distinguished cast. i

THE PEOPLE’S.

“The Harvest of Hate,” starring Rex, King of Wild Horses, with Jack Perrin and°Helen Foster, and “Wyoming,” starring Tim McCoy and Dorothy Sebastian and a big supporting cast, will both be finally presented at the People’s Theatre, New Plymouth, to-night. “The Harvest of Hate” tells of a circus horse and his love for his mistress. “Wyoming” is a thrilling outdoor drama, throbbing with suspense, adventure, desperate fighting, and enduring love. The supporting bill includes a two-reel comedy, Empire Bulletin and International News reel. “Poppies of Flanders” recently screened at Australia’s latest and most palatial new theatre, the Capitol, in Sydney, will commence a two-night \ season at the People’s, to-morrow night. “Poppies of Flanders” is not another war picture. It is a picture of a man’s redemption and the power of a woman’s influence, and is a picture which brings home to all how easy it is to misunderstand the character of a man, and how hard .it is for him to reveal the good in him when one slip has overshadowed his life. Jameson Thomas, England's foremost screen artist, and Eve Gray, the noted Australian beauty, play the principal parts.
