ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. CHARLIE CHAPLIN MATINEE ! TO-DAY. The ever popular Charlie will show at both matinee and night sessiou at Everybody's to-day in his latest comedy scream "The Immigrant." This picture is a mad, merry cyclone of fun with Charlie at his best. It needs no explanation, the story is nothing, and Charlie is quite enough. Throughout the picture is one continual scream of merriment. The programme also includes a brilliant six-reel Metro feature, "The Slacker," with Emily Stevens in the lead. The final screening of botli these special attractions takes place to-night. THE PEOPLES'. CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND BELLE BENNETT. To-day's new bill at The Peoples' presents Charlie Chaplin in his big rollicking comedy, "The Immigrant," and dainty Belle Bennett in Triangle's super drama, "A Soul in Trust." The matinee to-day commences at 2 pjn. Chaplin will also be on to-night bill. THE DANDIES—TO-NIGHT. It is doubtful if there is a more popular body of entertainers known to local audiences than Mr. Edward Branscombe's well-known company, "The Dandies." These clever artists are to appear in the Empire Theatre for a season of three nights, commencing to-night, and on the record of success achieved in other towns and cities of the Dominion, should easily justify the management in deciding to occupy the theatre for the period stated. Of the ability and versatility of "The Dandies" little need be said. They do not come as strangers, for "Dandies" of the past have established very firmly a line reputation, and it is said that this is worthily upheld by the latest combination. The performance given by the visiting company is said to be particularly bright and mo3t acceptable to a public whose nerves are jaded after four years of the stress of ; war. "The Dandies" are essentially a j cheerful combination. In music, jest and dance they find an outlet for their joint and several efforts, and report says that they are eminently successful in their efforts. This sweet little company are just concluding a southern tour, and il is said that in all places visited the theatres were too small to accommodate the crowds desiring admission. Records were made in several places, where it was considered no company could command an audience for more than three nights; yet "The Dandies" succeeded in establishing themselves for double that period, and crowding the theatre each evening. This may bo accepted, then, as a recommendation that the company appearing to-night i 3 well qualified to'satisfy the desires of a public in search of pleasure and healthy relaxations. Popular prices will be charged, and seats may be reserved at Collier's. "MY POUR YEARS IN GERMANY." COMfSG TO TARANAKI Ambassador Gerard's oflieisil film "My Four Years in Germany," whicu conies to the Toranaki district next week under the Direction of Leo de Chateau's International Attractions, should arouse more interest to-day than it did before the armistice. "My Four Years in Germany" is not reallv a war picture. It is 10,000 feet of animated history which holds the interest spellbound. It is n living document of absolute truth. It i? not only the duty of every man and woman to ?ce it. but is the duty of every mother and father to see that their children see it. It is the duty of every school niaMer and mistress to see tha! their pupils see it. There will Dp nil sorts of conlroverr-ics concerning the war in the future, and if one desires to crter into these discussions, they wiU stand on safe ground if they are fortified with the faets as shown i'n this official film.-.where Ambassador Gerard faithfullv record? every important occurrence m Germany for four vcars before an<( arter thr> declaration of war.
