ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. j A SPECIAL BRITISH PRODUCTION. I "CHOOSING A WIFE." j To-night's programme at Everybody's is well up to the splendid standard sot by the management. The star attraction is the all-English production "Choosing a Wife." The story deals with the love of ft middle-aged bachelor explorer for a young and beautiful girl reared by her aunt, who had sacrificed her life to the work of training her niece. The girl, although in love with a young churchman, innocently makes the explorer her slave. A peculiar situation arises due to the finding of a handkerchief at a ball, and tlie explorer, before sailing for the Pacific Islands, asks the wrong woman, by letter, to marry him on his return. How everything ends in a satisfactory manner by the man finding his ideal in thc other woman makes a pretty, although somewhat pathetic, story. The supporting films include another episode of "Stilt-, garee" and the Pathe Gazette.
