AMUSEMENTS & MEETINGS.

EVERYBODY’S. William Paffiuih is particularly welcome in his latest production, “The Heart of a lion,” which will be screened for the last time to-night at Everybody’s Theatre. Credit for good work in this performance should also go to Mary Martin, Wanda Petit, Walter Law, and William Courtleigh, jun. How the story works ont to a conclusion Is well toM by this fine photo-drama. The supporting picture, “Lions in a Hospital,” is a scream from start to finish. To-morrow, Yale-ska Suratt will appear in the Pox drama, “The Victim,” a powerful pourtrayal, of a woman’s redemption. Seats may be reserved at Upton’s. GRAND THEATRE, Constance Talmadge takes the star role in “Up the Road With Sallie,” which will be screened for the last time to-night. Sallie inherits a small amount of money and buys a motor-car. She sets out in it to find adventure, taking her very prim; aunt with her. They are overtaken by a storm and break into a house in a lonely part of the country. Then two men arrived there. Sallie sees a newspaper stating that her aunt’s house has been, robbed, and she has reason to believe that these two men are the culprits. They in turn have good reason to believe her to be a crook. On top of it all they are by mistake quarantined in the house. Then things begin to occur. To-morrow (Thursday) Robert W. Chambers’ sensational society love story, “'The Business of Life,” starring Alice Joyce, will be screened. Seats may be reserved at the theatre office. The children’s temperance demonstrations, which, was to have been held on. Saturday next, has been postponed. V.A.S. "A CHRISTMAS CAROL.” FRIDAY NEXT. Judging by rehearsals, those who attend the school entertainment in the Opera House next Friday evening are in for something good. The tickets are going off merrily, and it would be a wise plan to book seats. This may be done without charge at Messrs H. I. Jones and Son’s, where tickets for the O.S. and D.C. chairs can also be purchased. The school children are also doing their little best to supply the public with tickets, ’ - WANGANUI EAST GIRL PEACE SCOUTS. On Saturday last another parade of the above was held. A good day’s work was spent in drilling and a paper-chase. The troop now consists of 47 girls. Thirty! of the girls were “sworn in.” The paper-chase was much enjoyed by the girls who took part. The work is now getting to a very interesting stage. In the course of a few more parades some of the girls will be qualified to pass the examination for their secondclass badges. In the evening a meeting of the committee was held, when some time was spent in discussing matters. On the Bth of April a dance is to be held in the Wanganui East Town Hall for the purpose of raising funds for the troop. GARRISON BAND CONCERT. The open-air concert to be given by the Garrison Band at Castlecllff tomorrow evening will doubtless attract another large audience. Given fine weather, the trip to the favourite seaside resort is always enjoyable, while the excellent music always given by the Band provides a healthy form of recreation which proves beneficial to all wlyo attend. Special cars will leave the Post Office about 7.20 to-morrow evening. QUEEN’S PARK OLD BOYS. The Old Boys of Queen’s Park School are holding a meeting in the schoolroom at 7.30 p.m. on Friday, with the object qf forming an Old Boys’ Foothall .Club.
