ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. "EXPLOITS OP U35" AT THE MATINEE. The remarkable topical picture of German submarine warface, "Exploits of U35," will be screened at Everybody's matinee this afternoon at 2 p.m. The matinee programme will also include the five-reel comedy, "The Pest," with Mabel Normand in the leading part. TO-NIGHT AT B—"THE PEST," AND "EXPLOITS OF U35." The programme for to-night will consist of a big triple attraction bill with Mabel Normand starring in the Goldwyn feature-comedy, "The Pest," the wonderful topical film "Exploit of U35," and a screaming two-reel comedy, "Fathers, Sons, and Chorus Girls." Mabel Normand its charming in "The Peat." In this. picture Mabel is seen as a little household drudge in a small village. She delivers eggs and milk, and also helps to run a ferry. Her dresses and carryings on at a ball are screamingly funny, while her bath in a water barrel is highly amusing. The "Exploits of U35" will be screened at 8.43 and "The Pest" will start at 9.15. Patrons are reminded that tli is programme is screening for to-night onIy"THE EXPLOIT OF U35." The dreadful devastation of German submarine warfare is| depicted in actual progress in an extraordinary film, "The Exploit of U35," taken by the Germans from the deck of one of their submarines, which was screened at both the local picture theatres last evening. This picture was purchased from the British Government shortly after it had been seized in Germany, and its bona-fides is beyond question. Those who'witness the film, however, will be convinced immediately of its genuineness. The Hun cinematographer, from a position on the after-deck of the submarine, has taken great pains to depict the complete procedure adopted in discovering, pursuing, holding up, and sinking the Allies' shipping in the Mediterranean. A merchant steamer is seen in the distance "Full speed ahead" is ordered, a gun is' dragged up through trap doors, shots are fired with telling effect on the quarry, the latter stops, the submarine drews abreast, sometimes at a distance of only a couple of hundred yards, the crew of the cargo steamer take to the boats and row away, one lifeboat brings the captain to the submarine, which takes him aboard, the quick-firer is discharged, a shell tears a gaping wound In tne water-line of the merchantman, which quickly reels over, fills, and then rises vertically as she takes her fearful plunge beneath the waves. This is all witnessed almost within a stone's throw of the U-boat. This unique picture is being screened at both theatres again to-night. . THE PEOPLE'S. SUBMARINE U. 35 ADMIRALTY FILM AND ENID BENNETT. , To-night's big double bill at the People's is headed by a picture which will live in the memory as long as life shall last. It is the awe-inspiring "Exploits of Submarine P. 35," which the Admiralty tells us sank 51,000 tons of Allied shipping. It is a film which is in every sense genuine. Anyone who doubts should ask any of last night's audience Mighty ocean-going ships are plainly seen b#ing disposed of by the great un-der-water terror, the submarine. Also on the bill are latest gazette and "Partners Three," an exceptionally fine drama, starring our own Australian "Enid Bennett." The matinee to-day commences at 2 p.m., but the matinee bill does not include "Submarine U. 35."'
