ENTERTAINMENTS

; ' EVERYBODY’S. FAMILY NIGHT TO-NIGHT. My Gun,” th© popular Pathe picture starring George Duryea and Sally ■Starr, "will be finally screened at Everybody’s Theatre, New Plymouth, to-night. There is a good supporting programme. COMMENCING TO-MORROW. , "Man to Man” and “Going .Wild” two big all talking attractions, will be presented on the programme showing at Everybody’s to-morrow (Wednesday) and Thursday night. There will be no pictures on Christinas Day. “Man to Man” stars Lucille .Powers, and Grant Mitchell.. The story deals with a son’s love for his father. Joe E. Brown, the big-mouthedj comedian of ‘‘Sally,” “Top Speed” and “Sit Tight” is starred in “Going Wild,” another laugh riot, and one of the funniest airplane stories ever filmed. Lawrence Gray, Ona Munson, Walter Pidgeon and Laura Lee head the supporting cast. There will be a matinee on Thursday (Christmas Eve) at 2 p,m. THE REGENT. “Behind Office Doors,” the Radio production starring Mary Astor and Robert , Ames, will be finally screened at The .1 Regent, New Plymouth, to-night. There i is an excellent supporting programme. A COMMENCING TO-MORROW. . “P. C. Josser,” a British comedy special i will be shown at The Regent to-morrow f (Wednesday) and Thursday, commencing at 8 p.m. In ‘‘P. C. Josser,” with Ernie Lotinga playing his familiar role of dud policeman turned detective, we are giving you the jolliefit nonsense imaginable.: < Lotinga has long been recognised as one ■ of our most devastating comics, and to “P, C. Josser” he brings all the ripe experience of his long succession of variety triumphs, with the result that , this picture is one long laugh. The story matters very little, it is but a peg on which to hang the quips and sallies of Josser. . Whether as a constable, private detective or waiter he is muddle-headed and incompetent, but it is all good fun, and good fun means good entertainment. There will be a matinee on Thursday. (Christmas Eve) at 2 p.m. OPERA HOUSE, THURSDAY. “BILLY THE KID.” "Billy the .Kid,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production, will be the principal attraction on the programme showing at the Opera House on Thursday next (Christmas Eve) at a matinee at 2 p.m. and in the evening at 8 o’clock. ‘Billy the Kid” relates the stirring happenings at Lincoln, New Mexico, during the famous “cattlemen’s war” of 1878, 18« U and 1880. The career of William Bonney during that time is the crux of the wildest point the wild west ever reached. John Mack Brown plays “The Kid” and Wallace Beery gives another of his inimitable characterisations as Sheriff Garrett. Kay Johnson has the feminine lead. Karl Dane is seen as the comic cowboy Swenson. The large cast also includes Wyndham Standing, Russell Simpson, Blanche Frederici, Roscoe Ates, Warner P. Richmond, James Marcus, Nelson McDowell, Jack Carlyle, John Beck, Marguerita Padula and Aggie Herring. The supports will include Metrotone News and “Bigger and Better” (comedy).
