ENTERTAINMENTS.

A FOX FEATURE AT THE EMPIRE. VALESKA SURATT IN "JEALOUSLY" A fine Fox film drama "Jealously" starring the brilliant artist Valeska Suratt will be the chief attraction at the Empire to-night and to-morrow. It ■is a powerful drama of love and passion, with Miss Suratt in*the leading role of a woman who marries for position but is not content to leave a former lover happy in his home circle. It is said "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" and this picture is a realistic portrayal or the lengths to which a jealous woman will go. The supports include a very humorous Fox comedy "His Bomb Policy," and the first picture of a series of thrilling adventures lasting over fifteen weeks entitled "The Secret of the Submarine." The same programme will be shown at the matinee to-morrow and for the last time to-morrow night. A MAMMOTH PICTURE ATTRACTION "THE WHIP" COMING TO EVERYBODY'S j Local play-goers of all classes will j hair with delight the news that the world's greatest play and stage success, "The Whip" will bo shown as a mam- 1 moth motion picture at Everybody's next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. ; No other play ever staged has had the ' sensational record runs accorded "The I Whip." the great Drury Lane Melodrama. And the success of the stage version has i been reflected in the gigantic motion! picture portrayal which shows all the j sensational and spectacular effects which ' the stage version could only lightly : touch in their full detail. Also the : motion picture introduces wonderful ' spectacular scenes utterly impossible in the stage production. The hunting scenes are real, full of excitement, with crowds of riders on superb hunters, a magnificent pack and a real fox. The society scenes are of a lavishness and ' luxury almost unbelievable, and the train i wreck is a realistic incident that causes ' the onlooker to hold his breath. Will | they get "The Whip" out of his freight ! car before the express crashes into it is-.j the almost agonised feeling that grins i the audience. The train wreck is the j Jast word in what motion picture pro- ' ducers will do in spending huge sums of • money to get the resulting realism. A whole express crashes full into the j standing freight car, which is hurled j clear of the tracks—the boiler of the ! engine explodes, and the huge line of j railway carriages topples over, blazing fiercely. It is a wreck of a real train costing a huge sum. The race scenes were only possible by the ingenious arrangement of a number of cinematograph machines, one being carried bv a fast motor which ran just ahead of the finishing horses. The final sensation is the dramatic win of "The Whip" with the owner's daughter in the jockey's seat, the, original jockey having been detained on a bojrus charge by bogus detectives in the villians employ. This great picture has had remarkable runs in the city houses, in Wellington it showed for a full week at "The King's" and "The Crown" theatres, and then did another week at Everybody's since which it has again screened for a full week at yet another theatre. The local season will be for three nights only, ami the prices of admission will be D.C. 1/6, Stalls 1/-.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN "THE PRICE SHE PAID" AT EVERY' BODY'S.

In the trenches on the social battleground, is where most of the scenes of "The Price She Paid," the last amazing success of Clara Kimball Young, are laid. The play is produced by Miss Young's own corporation, and it is a veritable masterpiece. The setting is extraordinary luxurious, and the dresses worn are the last word in fashion, while the furnishings of the rich homes of wealthy Americans will surprise even the picture public already used to scenes of extravagance. The story is a strong one, dealing with the experiences of a society girl who is forced to marry a repulsive and terrible man, who has hewn out an enormous fortune through absolute ruthlessness. When the final test

arrives, the heroine. Mildred Cower, is •not prepared to 'pay (lie price," and she leaves lier uncongenial husband to seek -her own career. Then she finds black and terrible trouble, ami she. passes through the dark valley of despair lie.l'ore she earns her right to life and love. Bettor than "The Common Law," can be truly said of this great work which will be shown at Everybody's to-night, at the matinee to-morrow, and finally to-morrow night. On the same programme the big Mutual sensation "The /Secret of the Submarine'' will commence '.its tistoen wears season of striking' adventures.
