ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE EMPIRE TO-XIGHT. fIWITH ,CAPTAIX SCOTT TO THE SOUTH POLE-" Many films have been produced of the Polar regions, but it is doubtful if any surpass the wonderfully graphic and comprehensive kinematograph record entitled "With Captain .Scott lo the .South Pole," to he screened for the first time in this town at the Empire Theatre tonight. The Xew York Sun states:—"No moving pictures ever exhibited in this city have been more profoundly stirring. They possess a scientific value tlmt cannot be attributed lo pictures of another character. Fortunately the execution is worthy of the profoundly interesting theme." The Xew York Globe savs:— "The moving pictures showing- Captain Scott and his crew in their manifold struggles and dangers to reach the South Pole are as remarkable as they are inspiring. They tell the story with beautiful vet tremendous reality." These opinions have been more 1 than endorsed by the remarkable season just concluded in Auckland, when 1i performances were given to crowded audiences- in Christchurch If), 000 people paid for admission and a special morning session was necessary to accommodate the crowds. Duncdin and Wellington also report record seasons. The five gallant* explorers' are shown at the South Pole, the goal of their hopes, and then comes the great tragedy, revealing a tremendous tale of human adventure. During the screening the story of the expedition will be told by Mr. Walter Searle. Prices of admission are D.C- 2s, stalls Is fid (plus tax). Seats may be reserved at Colliers' at the D.C. prices. EVERYBODY'S. A BIG DOUBLE PROGRAMME FOR TO-NIGHT. One of the strongest double programmes over presented locally is billed, for Everybody's to-night and to-morrow. The big features are "Six-Shooter Andy," a Fox feature starring Tom Mix, and a Goldwyn feature, "The Stronger Vow," ' with Geraldine Farrar An the leading role. "The Stronger Vow" has a brand new and colorful role for Geraldine Farrar, the screen's most famous emotional artist! a role that presents her as the queen of the notorious apaches of Paris, loving and daring amid the ruthless chara'ters of the underworld. Farrar has never had a play that was so true to life, and so replete with logical situations as this new Goldwyn. It is a drama with a "wallop" and is Geraldine Farrar's most convincing screen triumph. The plot unfolds scores of thrilling and adventurous situations, and the star has abandoned all conventionality in a big, modern drama, that will be hard to beat. "Six-Shooter Andy" introduces Tom Mix in the character which he has made famous, that of a true-hearted son of tho West in the days when brave, adventurous men took big chances in their attempt to Tfrih gold. Tom is pitted against a desperado f-hcr-iff and his gang, and his "clean-up" of the outfit is not the least exciting part of the picture. The management announce no increase in prices for this attraction.
