ENTERTAINMENTS.

1 I LAST NIGHT OF ENID BENNETT. Charming Enid Bennett'in "When Do We Eat," a bright play in which an actress cleverly fools a pair of crooks to save a young man, screens finally tonight. The programme includes a two reel comedy, Burton Holmes Tr&velo" r.nd the "Railroad Raiders." ° "A WIFE BY PROXY." To-morrow's new bill presenting Mabel Taliaferro and entitled "A Wife By Proxy," is rich in both dramatic and comedy situations. The bachelor was to marry by a certain date to get a fortune. The scheming villain was the next heir. The blonde adventuress was already married, but wanted the money. The little Irish girl upset the plans, and married the bachelor—and won her husband's love. EVERYBODY'S. ROBERT WARWICK IN "THE MAD LOVER," One of the most charming screen Btones witnessed for many a long day is The Mad Lover," a Pa the feature starring Robert Warwick, supported by a dainty, fascinating little bundle of charms, Elaine Hammerstein. Robert Warwick is an old favorite and will be more popular since his return from trance, where he helped with his 'bit' in the trenches as a captain in the American Army. All accomplished actor, his charm is realised in this picture, which gives him every opportunity of proving his ability. A delightful story with a special appeal to all lovers and young married folks particularly, and present" ed in a manner that can call forth only the greatest admiration. The picture is a poem of production, and guaranteed to drive away the 'grouches.' "The Mad Lover" shows to-night and to-morrow at everybody's, and the programme also includes the 19th episode of "The House of Hate," entitled "The Hooded Terror Unmasked."

THE EMPIRE. TE KOA CONCERT PARTY. The New Zealand Divisional Entertainment Troupe, which since its formation in 1916 did much to brighten the life or battle-tired men throughout the theatres of war on the Continent, have returned to New Zealand. Prior to disbanding they are touring the Dominion and will appear in New Plymouth for a two-night season commeneing at the Empire next Monday. A number of concerts were given "by the troupe in England while waiting for a transport home, and the following extract from an English paper is one of the many tributes as to the merit of their work: "The Diggers are a clever concert party of 20, including orchestra, soldiers of the New Zealand Division. A Scottish general, after enjoying one of their concerts in Germany expressed a wish that the people of his native city, Glasgow, might hear them. Another Scottish brigadier wrote to Lord Provost Stewart telling him that 'The Diggers' would be delighted to give a concert in Glasgow for a war fund." The men who are included with this troupe have seen the battlefields of the Old World, and have there, within sight of the trenches, given music, songs, and verse to their comrades during spells from the front line. Their experiences over tl\ere have given the party a nice sense of judgment as to what is wanted and best liked in the' way of entertainment, and they promise a selection of the best in song and verse from the halls of England and Europe. The box plan opens at Collier's Thursday morning.
