ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLES. Doris Kenyon in Mary Roberts Linehurt's well known story "Street of Seven Stars" screens finally to-night at the Peoples. The bill includes gazette and a two reel comedy, "Footlights and Shadows," commencing at the matinee to-morrow at 2 p.m., is not the ordinary kind of story. It is rather an absorbing, intensely interesting theme of a girl who is unconventional but, "straight as a string"—who j puts happiness first. It is a strong | emotional drama with bright high lights of gaiety and humour. The director, John VV. Noble, is worthy of the highest praise for the truly splendid evenrunning production. There are many big scenes, notably the full stage set of "The Midnight Follies," the tire in the theatre, a big cafe set, as well as many truly beautiful interiors. The Selznick company certainly set a new standard in the completeness of production.

EVERYBODY'S. "The End of the Came" is a colorful, vivid drama of the Californian goldfields, and affords splendid opportunities for Warren Kerrigan to show his aptitude for romantic western roles. T here is action and thrill aplenty in this story of the wild days of '49 when the man who was slow on the draw was quick in the grave —when men made their own laws, and knew how to enforce them, too. A love theme runs delightfully through the plot, and allows Warren Kerrigan to prove that at love-making he is as apt as at gun-play ot fisticuffs. The supports include the "Topical' Budget," a laughable comedy entitled "Heroic Ambrose,' and "The Pathe News." , MALE CHOIR SOCIETY. Music lovers of New Plymouth and nil-rounding districts arc being offered p, treat next Thursday and Friday, November 4th and sth, when the New Plymouth Male Choir will give their tenth grand concert in the Empire Theatre.
