ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. : LAST NIGHT OF "PRUDENCE ON BROADWAY'." Can you picture a little owe lamb amongst the elite of New York, and holding her own amid dashing debutantes and ravening wolves? That is the picture that dainty, lovable Olive Thomas, the Harrison Fisher girl, is in her latest Triangle comedy "Prudence on Broadway," The serious side of life is always before her, but she has an extraordinary sense of humor that is mirth-provoking to the last degree. The sayings of Prudence display wonderful perspicacity for so unsophisticated a maiden, and furnish food for merriment right through the piece, The final screening takes place to-night. TO-MORROW AND THURSDAY. "THE ROMANCE OP TARZAN." Imagine a story of breathless movement set amid the contrasting scenes of the jungles of unexplored Africa, and the luxurious atmosphere of American society, with Tarzan, the son of noble English parents, raised in the heart of the wilds by an ape foster mother, as the central figure, and one can obtain some idea of the treat in store when "The Romance oi Tarzan" commences its season at Everybody's to-morrow and Thursday. The massive seven-part production is a visualisation of the concluding chapters of the famous Burroughs 'novel "Tarzan of the Apes," which has been an outstanding sensation of the current season. Elmo Lincoln and Enid Markey repeat their former triumphs in the leading roles of Tarzan and Jane Porter, while Cleo the star of' many successes, is prominently featured in the "Romance." THE PEOPLE'S. SHIRLEY MASON IN "HER ELEPHANT MAN." It is, just lite going to a circus to see Miss Shirley Mason in the Fox picture, "Her Elephant Man," at the People's to-night. Miss Mason is one of the most popular of screen actresses, and her debut as a Fox star is made in this charming story of circus life, which is told with gripping interest and mkny thrills. No picture of the circus has been so vividly reproduced—with its great tent filled with people, a performance going on in three rings, and a thrilling storm scene which wrecks the tent. The little rider and her elephant man are the central figures in a wonderful love story. The bill includes a beaming Sunshine comedy and gazettes. "THE FAMOUS DIGGERS." EMPIRE THEATRE-SATURDAY. After a triumphal tour through Australia under the J. C. Williamson, Ltd., banner, "The Diggers" are paying a farewell visit to New Zealand.under the direction of Mr. Victor Beck, and will appear at the Empire Theatre next Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, in an entirely new programme of comedy sketches, musical gems, burlesques, eccentric dances, and potted revues. "The Diggers" return to New Zealand brighter and better than ever, and should receive an overwhelming welcome fr6m their friends, admirers, and amusement-lovers generally. The eulogistic press reports I bear tangible evidence of the excellence of the show. The Melbourne Age %ays: " 'The Diggers'' reputation has preceded them, and" last night many people had to be turned away. 'The Diggers' presented a clever and. original entertainment. The music and the comedy which go to make up most of the programme both reach a very high standard." "The Diggers" are a happy band of entertainers in every sense of the word, and their entertainment is original, novel, and unique. "The Diggers'" orchestra of ten artists will be a special feature of the entertainment. Judging by past experience "The Diggers" may expect a bumper house when they appear here. The box plans open to-morrow morping, at Collier's.
