ENTERTAINMENTS,

EVERYBODY’S. /two big ENGLISH PICTURES TONIGHT. A /programme of exceptional interest is showing at Everybody’s to-night and to-morrow. Interesting firstly because H.R.H, the Prince of Wales appears in cast of “The Power of Right,” one of the features to be screened. “The Power of Right” is a picture that is a combination of ancient and modern times. Starting with a prologue of the stone ages, when skins were fashionable attire, and people didn’t bother to cook their food, and settled their differences in a way that holds even to-day, the story jumps to the days of the great war, and points th.e moral that pacifism doesn’t jiay when opposed to the domination of brute force. The hair-raising experiences of a man who is dodging the police for three months . for a murder that didn’t take place, and thereby earning £20,000, is the theme of the exciting scenes of “Big Money,” the second feature showing. James Knight plays the lovable young hero to an equally attractive heroine in Rose Manners. The picture has all that is required to recommend it to any audience in plot, thrill, and real entertainment value, and it also has what can never be imitated successfully in American productions, the real thing in beautiful settings of -English and Irish country homes and atmosphere. Taken from a popular novel, “A Run for His Money,” it lives up to the (Hie in every moment of its five enthralling reels.

THE PICTURES. LAST NIGHT OF “THE MAN IN THE MASK.” The beautiful French actress, Rene Creste, in Gaumont’s famous mystery play “The Man in the Mask,” screens finally to-night at the People’s. This production is beautifully, set amid the French Riviera, and some splendid scenic effects result. The bill includes latest gazette, travelog and comedy. To-morrow’s new bill presents the popular and delightful Olive Thomas in her latest Selznick production, “Youthful Folly,” which is a fascinating and entertaining story, and beautiful Olive Thomas makes it even more so. As Nancy Sherwin, a courageous and pep-pery-tempered girl who makes a valiant fight for love and wins, Miss Thomas has a role ideally suited to her temperament. .Of added interest is the fact that Miss Thomas wrote the story herself. She claims to have had the incidents from real life, it being practically a story told her by one of the “Ziegfeld Folly” girls, telling of actual experiences. The bill includes gazette, comedy, and the dpenihg episode of the Wonder serial, “Tik Mink.” The matinee tomorrow commences at 2 p.m. Miss Monica Neumann, of Auckland, representing Chautauqua, was in New Plymouth yesterday making arrangements for the 19*21 season. The dates selected for New Plymouth are Feb. 7 to 12, and there will be submitted a varied programme of high iflerit. Season tickets are now in the hands of guarantors and committeemen at the reasonable rate of 10s for adults, students 6s, and children 4s. These admit to all sessions. It is intended to introduce a special family ticket to cost £l.—Advt.
