ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. SHACKLKTON'S EXPEDITION TO-DAY. To-day and to-morrow there will be presented at Everybody's a series of pictures of special interest to all New Zealanders. No drama of imagination was ever more vivid tlian the wonderful motion pictures of the Shackleton Expedition, and the crushing of the Endurance in the Polar pack-ice is unique in the history of photography. The imagination falters; one's mind can hardly encompass the story and scenes of hardship, heroism, and dramatic adventure in the Antarctic that are unfolded in the progress of Captain Hurley's lecture and pictures. In his own words: "Perhaps no films in the annals of kinematography have been subjected to such amazing vicissitudes and run the gauntlet of so many hairbreadth escapes before reaching the screen a3 those I took of the last Shackleton Expedition. Although this grand endeavor was defeated on the very, threshold of success, and our vessel was nipped in the -ice-pack within sight of our destination, tiic film records did not suffer. On the contrary, I was enabled to secure a range of unique subjects hitherto unseen and unrecorded, in the South Polar regions". Captain Hurley did not exaggerate the value of his remarkable achievement—the films are unique, an education to all who see them. Special matines are being run this afternoon and to-morrow afternoon at 3.30, when school children will be admitted for sixpence. At the matinee this afternoon, accommodation has been provided for the Central and Fitzroy schools, and tomorrow for West End and Convent schools. Other children can attend either day. The night sessions will commence at 7.45.
