ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. THE TOP OF THE WORLD.” "The Top of the World,” which Is to be shown to-night, smacks of Action and drama and love—the three graces that are fundamenally necessary to every successful photoplay, if it is to fulfil its mission of entertainment. Knowing that it was adapted from the novel of the same name by Ethel M. Dell, we are practically safe in assuming that this screen play teems with vivid drama, virile action, and tender romance, for all of .those elements were part and parcel of the story. Something different in the way of scenery may be expected, as most of the action place out on the mysterious and little known African veldt. With a combination of such box-office favourites Q. Nilseon, James Kirkwood, .Raymond Hatton, .and Sheldon Lewis there is no lack of acting talent. TO-MORROW NIGHT. “ENTICEMENT.” “Enticement,” ,the First National attraction which is the principal picture for to-morrow night, is a story of to-day. This dramatic story of a girl’s love swings from Belgium to the Alps, from Paris to London, with the latest fashions in a ..background of salons, palhces, and chateaus. It Is a liberal education to follow, through the camera’s lens, the sequence of t|he play. We see the famous resorts of Europe, with their gay lights and laughter ; we visit the high Alps with their eternal snows; we plunge into the hear,t of Continental Europe’s society, then London’s. There is a constant panorama of life at its gayest, with always the entrancing, vivid story of “Enticement” to lend interest to the excursion. The players who perform against this) elaborate and beautiful background are Maiy Astor, Clive Brook, lan Keith, Louise Dresser, Vera Lewis, Edgar Norton, Lillian Langdon, Aileen Manning, Mathilde Comont, and Russell Powell. Also, by special request and at considerable expense a retuiln visit of Charles Valentine has been arranged. As a ventriloquist Mr Valentine has few equals, and patrons should not miss the final opportunity of hearing him. A matinee will be held at 2.30 p.m. WAIHI BOXING TOUKNEY. TO-MORROW NIGHT.
