AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY’S Two big features will head Everybody’s programme for to-morrow Saturday. “A Woman’s Temptation,” a Fox feature in which Miss Betty Nansen plays the leading role, and ‘‘On Record,” a Paramount production in which May Murray will be the star Anna, the heroine of “A Woman’s Temptation” is the wife of a Russian diplomat high in the councils of his country. This man cold, reserved, and wholly wrapped up in his duties, gives neither time nor attention to his young and beautiful wife. Anna, though she respects her husband and adores her little son, yet craves the love which she feels is the right of every woman, and when Count Wronsky 4 a handsome young cavalry officer, enters her life and offers her the admiration and devotion which are denied her in her home, she eagerly grasps her chance for happiness. The inevitable result follows: Rich and beautiful as she is, and of exalted social position, Anna finds that she cannot defy the conventions. She is cast off by her husband and denied the sight of her son. Her former friends desert her; she is an outcast from Society where she formerly reigned a queen. The story of “On Record” is that of a typical young girl reared in a small town the most } interesting incidents of her life being the falling of an aeroplane from the sky, after which she is enabled to be a member of the rescue party. There is a young aviator with whom, after a series of interesting and dramaticsituations, she falls in love and is happily married. A Travelogue and a Victor Moore comedy complete the programme.

DANCE RECITAL A final reminder is given of the Dance Recital to be held in the Town Hall this evening, when Miss Kathleen Blomfield and her pupils' will give an exhibition of all the latest terpsichorean noxeties. For some considerable time past strenuous preparations have been made for this function, which, by the way will bo unique in Taihape, as we have not yet had introduced to us an evening’s amusement composed wholly of dance numbers, and it will be a revelation to those who attend to witness what artistic concerted dancing means. There arc some 28 items on the programme, consisting of tableaux, costume dancing, solo -dancing, national dances, etc The proceeds of the recital are to be divided between the returned soldirs and the Catholic Bazaar fnud.
