ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. GEORGE WALSH~iJ 'BRAVE AND BOLD." MATINEE 2 P.M. TO-DAY. George Walsh, the William Fox human dynamo, made a big hit at Everybody's last evening, when he was ahown in his latest photoplay, "Brave and Bold." His stuntß are thrillers and either cause a cold chill up your spine or make you laugh so that you'll forget that your business rival intends to crush you on the morrow. This play is certainly a care-chaser. It has an excellent story and the climax comes soon after George carries a prince from a hotel that is being dynamited by George's rivals in business 'and love. The prince has a billion dollar war order to give and George goes after it—and gets it and the girl in the case, too. Between the time he starts and the time he finishes he overcomes some mighty big, thrilling and amusing obstacles. There are some fine pictures amongst the supporting items. THE PEOPLE'S. "SATAN IN SYDNEY."

The programme at the matinee today will consist of a delightful Billie Burke feature, "The Make-Believe," and the big Billy West comedy and gazette. "Satan in Sydney" screens to-night only. "SATAN IN SYDNEY." When all that is worth living for is at stake, it can do no harm to be brought face to face with the truth, and' nothing would be more beneficial to humanity than that every one should see "Satan in Sydney". The picture performs a work that should be the'duty of every parent. Every great city abounds with scoundrels who advertise the perfumed, beflowered pathways to perdition, and this story lays bare the shame, the lies, the falseness of the easy, soft silken life of the darker side of Bydney. It tells of a young girl, thrown on the world to make her" own way, hopelessly handicapped by want of knowledge of the evils that will beset her path. The evils exist no one will deny, they exist not only in Sydney but in New Plymouth, and the picture will prove an object lesson to all .who strive for clean cities, and better conditions of living. The only way to guard against the evils that exist in every great city is to provide enlightenment to all who might fall victims to them. "Satan in Sydney" does this because it tells of local conditions—it j s founded on a great deal of fact, and was created with the object of driving home with sledn-e hammer blows the fact that knowledge is the greatest protection to the young at the outset of their careers. "Satan in Sydney" is the greatest screen sermon that has ever been shown in this country. It is tremendously inspirin" and goes right home. Patrons are reminded that no pictures will be shown ftt the People's on Monday.
