ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S! LAST NIGHT OF "THE FACE AT 'THE WINDOW." A tTTrilling climax marks the finale of the Australian Film Company's screen version of the famous melodramatic succes, "The Face at the Window." After committing a series of horrifying crimes "Lc Loup" is trapped in the house, where he has murdered his latest -victim. The murdered had recognised his slayer, and before he expired had managed to write the first letters of his real name. Death overtook him before he could complete the clue, but under the influence of an electric current his hand is enabled to complete the last order of the brain, and "Lc Loup" is shot in his tracks as 'lie makes a rrenzicd effort to escape. Interwoven with the tragic theme is a tender romance, which preserves the balance of the piny. This thrilling melo-drama shows finally at Everybody's to-night.

THE PEOPLE'S. HAROLD LOCKWOOD TO-NIGHT. "The Great Romance," the Screen Classics, Inc., production, starring Harold Loekwood, is to be shown at the People's Theatre to-night, and will present to the public an unusual theme enacted in this favorite of the screen's most virile and winning manner. It is a story in six reels and is crammed full of incidents —of romance for the romantic and adventure for the adventurous. ]t. is a story of glorious youth, showing that a brave heart is more precious than rubies. The bill includes: Gazette, Pictograph and comedy. "THE BETTER 'OLE." THE PLAY. At the Empire Theatre next Saturday there will be staged Captain Bructf Bairnsfather's great cheer-up play "The Better 'Gle." Speaking of the performance of Miss June Addell as Yietoire in "The Better 'Ole," an Australian paper says: "Her vivacity and exuberant gaiety were as fresh and natural as could be wished for, and her decidedly clever little sketch of the factory girl at the 'movies' will not readily be forgotten by those who laughed themselves sore at it on Saturday evening." Miss Addell is said to be the youngest and brightest of soubrettes who have visited New Zealand for some years past. Old Bill, Alf and 'Krb are in the capable hands of Messrs. Lionel Walsh, Hubert Lee, and Harry Young respectively, with a strong supporting east of characters. The dancing includes the latest craze dances, the fascinating jazz, and the "shimmy shako." There are quite a number of bright, catchy musical number?, amongst them "My Word! Ain't We Carrying On," "Where Did That One Go," in France," "Keep on Hoping," "We Wish We Were in Blighty," and "Venus de Milo to Me." The plan will be opened at Collier's tomorrow morning.
