ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES TO-NIGHT. Pride of place on the bill at Everyfc.idy's to-night and to-morrow must be given to Colin and John Campbell, two Very able artists, who will give an exfcbitiou of concertina playing at its flest- As concertina duetists they stand alone. The two brothers had a great reception in Wanganui and Hawera last week. For their delightful concertina flaying they were brought back again hud again. Well-dressed and easy-man-liered are the Campbell boys. Aclass'it<l selection followed by popular melodies and phono-fiddle playing is what Jheir offering usually consists of. Wise Sv-e the pcriormcrsj who, like the Camp, fc-ll brothers. know bow to blend things without erring on one side or the other V 'lether the music was a classical selection or merely a catchy air, the two artists .seemed at their ease. They were deservedly encore! *!%• times for their cpst unusual but clever performance jtfie management will also screen the , Triangle drama, "The Devil Dodger," starring Roy Stewart, and the 19th episode of "Tlie Fatal I-iing." This highly fexciting serial concludes next week and the last two episodes are something to think over. THE PIDOPLE'S. MARY PICK FORD—"AMARILLY OF CLOTHESLINE ALLEY." The most popular of screen stars, the girl who lias won her way into the hearts of millions of people, little Mary Pickford, appears to-night in her latest Artcraft production, "Amarilly of Clothesline Alley." Before this girl scrub-woman— This gay little gamin— This wise-headed, merry-hearted child of the slums Loomed portentously The choice of two men—a life choice: Should she marry the gilded youth, the trifler, the dilettante? Should she accept, even with all his wealth and prestige, His colorless existence, his jelly-fish outlook upon life? Or should'she mate Willi the knight of the streets— The untutored, but two-fisted, Red-blooded offspring of the slums? A pistol shot settled the question! The story bristles with rare fun and witticisms, and cannot fail to be an endless source of amusement. The special matinee to-morrow commences at 3.30. EAST END DANCE. Wlmt was certainly one of the most successful balls in the East End Pavilion was that held on the evening of Easter Monday. The hall was packed to its utmost capacity and a large number of spectators lined the balconies, not being able to get inside The hall was beautifully decorated, the floor was in excellent condition, and music was provided by Mrs. George's orchestra. The ball was plain, fancy, and masquerade, and mupbers of bright and original costumes added considerably to the gaiety of the scene. The fancy dress competitions wore judged by "Mrs. Yates and Mr. J. Iloskin. whose decisions were:—Ladies: First (gold brooch donated by Mr. J. Bennett), Miss llcnnocli ("Joan of Arc"); second, Miss (!. George ("Eastern Princess"); third, Miss Cummingg "Star Light Fairy"). Men: First, Sergt-Major Williamson (full Scotch costume). The duties of M.C. were ably carried out by Mr. W. Hardgraves, assisted by Mr. F. Parker. An excellent supper was provided by a eommittc-e of ladies. A competition for a fancy cushion presented by the ladies' committee was won by Mrs. R. Williams, Leach Street (No. 54.)
