ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVEVRYBOEY'S. OLIVE THOMAS IN '-PRUDENCE ON BROADWAY." Olive Thomas, the famous Harrison Fisher girl, in "Prudence on Broadway," is a demure little Quaker girl,' met first in the strictly religious home surroundings, then in a girls' college, where she wiis the life and soul of all parties and escapades, and then in New' York amongst the elite. She was mischievously wiser than her simple dove-grey garments and demure mannerisms heralded; and her angle on what is good and bad morals brings her into predicaments that are always amusing, yet she always turns right-skle'-up-with-care. It is a clean, whole-souled story with a happy ending, and lots of the most charming comedy that has been seen for a long time. The screening nights are to-night &nj to-morrow. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. "THE ROMANCE OF TARZAN." All the- mystery and fascination of untamed life in the jungles is shown in ''The Romance of Tarzan," which presents the concluding chapters of "Tarzan of the Apes" in seven spectacular reels. The same magnificent background of unique jungle splendour that was such a feature of "Tarzan" is further exploited in the "Romance," and hundreds of wild apes, lions, tigers, huge snakes and man-eating crocodiles add excitement tq the rapid movement and novelty of the picture. The most interesting oi Tarzan's jungle friends; is Tantor, the mammoth elephant of almost human intelligence, who rescues Tarzan from a war party of infuriated savages. "The Romance of Tarzan" screens at Everybody's next Wednesday and Thursday.

THE PEOPLE'S. . LAST NIGHT OP HAYAk'AWA. Sessile Hayakawa's excellent characterisation in "Bonds of Honor," is easily the best that he lias yet done barring no previous production. Playing as he does the roles of twin brothers of totally opposite dispositions, his work is nothing short of marvellous. .He is ably supported and the story maintains keen interest to the end. . A line supporting bill is also screened. BIG FOX BILL TO-MORROW. To-morrow's change presents Shirley Mason in what is to be a very excellent circus play entitled, "Her" Elephant Man," and the l)ig Sunshine comedy "Her Private Husband." The latest Fox gazettes, as usual, are also on
