ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "FORBIDDEN," As a young woman who was forbidden something for her own good, Mildred Harris has a splendid character role in "Forbidden," being shown for the last time at Everybody's to-night. The main desire of the young woman is to go to the city. Riches fail to make her happy, but, eventually, the reason becomes apparent to her, and happiness follows. Also screening is a good topical picture and an amusing comedy, "Know your Neighbour."

THE EMPIRE. THE KIWIS TO-NIGHT. The ever-popular Kiwis, who appear at the Empire Theatre to-night and tomorrow, have been highly praised for their performances in the "northern centres. Indeed, every performer is said to be a master in his own line, and shows to even < better advantage in concerted numbers, where refinement and quality are their best aim- Like their comrades, the "Diggers," who already have, appeared at New Plymouth, the Kiwis have done a considerable amount of work in the Old Country to assist charitable organisations, foremost of which was a special effort, comprising a special tour on the Kiwis' part), to swell the funds of St. Dunstan's Hospital for blind soldiers, which, needless to say, foenefitedHy a large sum. This company has toured right through England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and France, and, just prior to sailing for New Zealand, they played for seven afternoons and evenings in London to packed houses. The Kiwis have only been back in New*' Zealand a few weeks, and opened their New Zealand tour at Auckland on December 20, 1919, where they played to packed houses for seven nights. The box plans for both, nights are now open at Collier's. THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF HALE HAMILTON. Metro's brilliant comedy-drama, "That's Good," starring handsome Hale Hamilton and screening finally to-night at the People's, is a play with great insight into human character and does not fail to amuse and delight with its irrepressible humor. The gazette and Billy West comedy are also good numbers. FATTY ABBDCKLE AND LILA EEE TO-MORROW. To-morrow's big new bill, commencing nt the matinee at 2 p.m., presents once again the wonderful fat man, Rosooe Arbuekle. This time "Fatty" appears in "A Desert Hero. - ' said to be the funniest thing since "The Butcher Boy," and acknowledged as one of the greatest comedies ever produced. On the same bill appears lovely Lila Lee in "Puppy Love."
