ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBDY'S i Patrons of Everybody's theatre were, last night, treated to a splendid evening's entertainment- The management provided a "double attraction, which was highly appreciated by those present. Mr. Norman Tate, who styles himself "N.Z.'s Premier Juggler and Heavy Weight Balancer," appeared for the first time locally, and his performance was most entertaining and decidedly clever. For fifteen minutes Mr. Tate kept the audience intently interested, and at times produced quite a thrill, several daring feats being gone through. The picture portion of the programme was headed by the Bluebird masterplay, "Southern Justice," a delightful story in which %Iyrtle Gonzalez appears to great advantage. This production is one of "Blue-bird's" best to date, so little more need be said. "Auckland to Hunua" was most interesting, as also "Her Boy," a two-reel drama by the English Hep-worth Co. As the title "implies, "Boy, Girl and Auto," provided much fun and mischief. This programme will be shown again to-night for the last time. "BETTY TAKES A HAND." For to-morrow night's change the popular favorite, Olive Thomas, will be seen in the Scenario Competition Winner, "Betty Takes a Hand," a bright and breezy play of love, life and laughter. The final chapter of "The Girl and the Game" will also be shown. "ENLIGHTEN THY DAUGHTER." FINAL TO-NIGHT. At the Empire to-night the final screening will take place of the powerful moral drama "Enlighten Thy Daughter," a play in seven acts, dealing straight-from-the-shoulder, with abundant evidence from real human life, with that problem of sex that confronts every girl, and with the disastrous effects that arise through keeping her in the dark regarding the facts of life- There is no question about the power of this picture, which has been produced by the Enlightenment Corpor. ation. The picture introduces a story of two girls, Ruth and Lillian. Whereas the one is warned against the possibilities of sorrow through meeting a nice boy, the other is not so told, with direful results. The story itself is sufficiently powerful for all the purposes of the mission for which it has been designed, but its home-tlirust at prudery and that innocence that does not lead to bliss is enhanced by the pointing finger of its head-lines. "THE OUTeTTVPR." On Thursday evening the Metro Co.'s latest picture, "The Outsider," will he presented. In this feature the popular Emmy Wehlen appears. The story is adapted from the noted novel, "Nobody," by Douis Joseph Vance, and deals in beauty and thrill. One of the handsomest private homes in America was used a s a background, and it provided an ideal setting for the story.
