ENTERTAINMENTS.

.# EVERYBODY'S. "THE GOWN OP DESTINY" TO-MOBBOW. Tho idea of "The Gown of Destiny," a Triangle feature showing at Everybody's to-morrow for one night only, was a brilliant inspiration. There aro fully half a dozen aspects to the story, and it is equally interesting from all of them except one. That one is the love aspect, which Is, of course, of special interest. The cast is a strong one. Including as it does Alma Reubens, Lillian West, and J. Barney Sherry, while Herrera Tejeddo is admirably suited to the role of the man who was Jeered at because he was too afraid to enlist, and was laughed at when he did enlist because of his slight physique. By profession he was a designer of gowns, and after being rejected for military service he dreamed of a wonderful design. In due course a gown was made according to it, and while the designer was lamenting the fact that he wa sunabloto serve his beloved country—France—the gown went on its fateful way, working unsuspected miracles, all to the benefit of the designer's country, and even saved the life of his mother and father. It also was the controlling factor in a delightful love-story. Altogether a most original and thoroughly convincing picture, beautifully produced. Included amongst the supports will be the sixth episode of "The Mystery of the Double Cross." THE EMPIRE. LAST NIGHT OP GEORGE WALSH IN "SOME BOY." George Walsh scores one of his greatest successes as "Joyous Johnson," a young college graduate, in the latest William Pox comedydrama, "Some Boy," screened to a delighted and enthusiastic audience at the cosy Empire Theatre last evening. The reputation of this house for screening the best pictures will certainly be enhanced by this laughable and wholly delightful picture story, George Walsh Is simply Irresistible as the "don't-care" young college fellow, who will have fun no matter what else Is mlsßing. And last night's audience can testify to the fact that if was not only George who had the fun—at least, one would so from the peals of hearty laughter w?«Ch scene after scene called forth. To-night will be the sixth episode of the fascinating serial, "The Mystery of the Double Cross," which will be screened at this theatre to-night, owing to the Cappelll concert at Everybody's. CAPPELLI. That the appearance of Signor Cappelll and his taiented concert party, at Everybody's Theatre, to-night, will be hailed with enthusiasm is evident from the heavy booking that has taken place, and the interest which the great Italian operatic tenor created on his recent visit. Tonight is the last opportunity that will bo afforded tho public of New Plymouth and district of hearing these accomplished artMs boforo they leave the Dominion to undertake engagements in America. The programme which is advertised to-day includes some of the choicest gems from tho favorite operas.
