ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S. An excellent programme is announced for to-night,' the chief item being another great Paramount picture, starring Eis;e Perguson, who appears only in special productions. This one, “Under the Greenwood Tree,” is quite apart from the orthodox picture story, is full of delightful romance, is produced on a very lavish scale, and reveals the great actress at the very pinnacle of her success. Miss Ferguson, besides being in the foremost rank of American actresses, is conceded to be the most beautiful woman on the screen. In addition, a quaint Montgomery Flagg comedy, full of clever satire and scathing humour, entitled, “Independence B’ Gosh,” will be shown, together with other rare Paramount items. Although the attractions are special, prices are as usual Is Id and 6d. t THEATRE ROYAL. The picture list for exhibition this evening is massive and exceptionally strong. The film de resistance, “The Cq-respondent, ” is a “Jewel” production of startling character, and the widest possible appeal for all classes of patrons. Handsome Ellaine Hammerstein stars, and Ralph W. Ince, the eminent producer, regards the film as his masterpiece. Madge Evans, who is recognised as “the most delightful of child actresses,” will show in “The Gates of Gladness.” Humorous relief will be supplied by the Christie Corporation, “By Orange Ade.” The popular Royal Orchestra will accompany the unfoldings. Patrons should reserve at the theatre, or over ’phone 580. KING’S THEATRE. “Stolen Orders,” a great “Jewel” super-production in eight acts, will open to-night. It is a remarkable picture, with a remarkable all-star cast, that includes June Elvidge, Kitty Gordon, | Madge Evans, Carlyle Blackwell, Montagu Love, and over 10,0Qfi people. President Wilson also takes part in the ' drama, which strikes a patriotic note. I Much of it was filmed by the Italian I and American Governments respectively. These sections include battleship scenes and reproductions done bn ' the actual Italian war-front, _ hydroI planes, naval launches, anti-aircraft, I guns, and dirigibles. The thrilling story is that of the wonderful Drury Lane success, “Sealed Orders.” “StolenOrders” is credited with marking an epoch in the process of film production. The work is upon a scale of magnificence. “The Fighting Trail” and other films will form a massive programme. .“THE KIWIS.” On Tuesday evening, at the Theatre Royal, “The Kiwis,” most popular of all soldier combinations, will afford theatre-goers an opportunity of wit-' nessing one of the delightful entertainments that have won the highest approval wherever shown. “The Kiwis” did wonderfully well for the boys at the front, and subsequently appeared in London, Paris, and through Britain in aid of deserving •causes, and 40 per cent of the present tour goes to worthy objects. The combination includes: Harold Hill and Will Coterill (tenors), Alf. North and Ernest. Skain (baritones), Ashley McDonald (bass), Ernest Graham (comedian), Wolfe Thompson (female impersonator), Wally Murrow (soubrette and dancer), A. Owen Cardston (light I comedian and dancer), Arthur Gordon I (pianist). The tour is directed by Captain A. J. C. Angus. The box plans are at the Theatre Royal. Early appli--1 cation is advisable.
