ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE COURT CARDS. Another splendid house greeted the Court Cards last night at their final entertainment. Each item, as on the first night, was splendidly rendered, and encores were tlu: order of the evening. ! Mr. Edward Warwick's company will leave behind them a reputation which only his company can sustain. • j "DOUGH AND Di'NA'MITE." j As proof that Charles 'Chaplin is Uic ! most popular picture artist known m Kcw Plymouth, the Empire Picture Theatre was crowded last night to see the wonderful silent comedian in the hit-' est Keystone production, "Dough and 1 Dynamite." The people who go to see Chaplin always go tn enjoy a hearty laugh, and no one eouM miss laughing at this latest film, which has been correctly described as "a scream from start to finish.' 1 Throughout the screening the theatre resounded villi roars of laughter from the crowds, who enjoyed to the full Chaplin's quiet farisil movements, his grotesque wav r.f walking, his delight when the joke is < a his side, ami his tvell-feigned di-comfitnre when it is turned against him. For this comedy a clever little n! it has been thought out, and a talente.' company has been selected to support their leader and help him towards the grand climax suggested by the catchv title. The strong point about the film is that Chaplin figures in it practically Ci-'Utinuousiy from beginning to end, and dmh'g tlie. whole time—a period of half an hour—he not ou'v holds the attention of onlookers, but keeps tlieni ill one long shout of laughter. When compared witli previous pictures in which he has figured. ''Dough and Dynamite" will probably be voted as the be<t of them all. Supporting subjects include an Edison drama. ''His Chorus Girl Y\ ife," the story of the secret marriage of a society gentleman with a stage L'ii'l; "Pathe War Gazette," illustrating recent startling events in the war arena; and a scenic showing the Egyptian monuments. near which our troops in khaki Were camped, and several, other films of merit are included. Intending patrons are advised to he early to-night or reserve their seats.
