ENTERTAINMENTS.

I EVERYBODY'S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 3,30. Flaneur and his remarkably clever canine performers have interested and delighted big audiences all this week at Everybody's, and to give the kiddies a chance to see this amusing turn the management have arranged to hold a special matinee this afternoon, commencing at 3.30, when there will be a selected programme of pictures shown, and Flaneur and his dogs will fill the rest of the bill. Special prices are advertised for the matinee—children fld and adults Is—which make it possible for the whole family to see this entertaining performance. Flaneur and the dogs appear for positively the last occasion to-night, and will be supported by a powerful picture programme headed by "Poor Relations," a homely, human story that contrasts superficial city folk with honest, true-to-life country people. This film introduces a new actresß, Zasu Pitts, who is certain to: secure a big vote of popularity from picture patrons. THE PEOPLE'S. MAY ALLISON IN "THE WALK OFFS" The famous stage play "The WalkOffs," from the pens of Fred, and Fanny Hatton, picturised by Screen Classics, and featuring beautiful May Allison, commences at the People's to-night. "The Walk-Offs" has been produced for the screen by Screen Classics, from the successful stage play by Frederic and Fanny Hatton. It is a brilliant and telling satire of social parasites into which is woven the strong romantic love story of a woman who is freed from the web of a society spider by the man who loves her, despite herself and all she can do to prevent it. The production has been mounted with all the luxurious settings in the clubs, studios and homes of the wealthy that was required by the 9tory. I Fashion and artistic.effect were the ! guides of the producers, with the result that a most captivating picture for the eye, and one appealing to the heart, has been accomplished. It is a swift moving, beautiful story that leaves one aglow with the satisfaction of having seen something worth while. The bill includes latest gazette and comedy. THE EMPIRE. "ON OUR SELECTION" TO-NIGHT. This splendid Australian production proved immensely popular with local picture-goers during its local season, so much so that hundreds were unable to gain admission to the final screening last Monday night. Mr. H. Rowell, who is touring manager for Mr. Carroll, has one night vacant during the week, and in order that no local picture patron will be disappointed, he has arranged to screen the picture again at the Empire to-night, for one night only. Intending patrons can reserve at Collier's. KING'S THEATRE, STRATFORD. TO-NIGHT ONLY. Robert Warwick, the Paramount Artcraft star, will appear at the King's Cinema Theatre, Stratford, to-night in his latest picture, "An Adventure in Hearts." This is a picture pulsing with adventure and bristling with thrills. It is Anthony Hope's story of Captain Dieppe, gentleman adventurer, 6ecret service agent, ardent lover, and hard fighter. It embraces plot and counterplot, intrigue and treachery, and interlaces those elements in vivid patterns, through all of which runs the golden thread of love. Other items on the programme are "The Mystery of 13," "Rip and Stitch Tailors," Mack Sennett comedy, gazette and pictograph. FRIDAY NIGHT ONLY. "ON OUR SELECTION." Another step forward in popularising Australian-made, pictures baa been made with the seven-reel production, "On Our Selection," which is to be shown for the first time at the King's Cinema Theatre on Friday night. The innumerable incidents, gay and tragic, of this splendid picture are familiar to a big percentage of the population of this country, and those who have had the varying emotions stirred by Steele Rudd's famous book will appreciate all the more the realistic humor and natural manner in which they are depicted on the screen. Prices for this picture will be: Dress circle 2s, stalls Is fld (plus tar). Seats may be booked now at the theatre from 10.30 to 5.30.
