ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. : “LEAVE IT TO SUSAN” It is good to .see Madge Kennedy in the delightfully humorous role she has in “Leave it to Susan,” for comedy is her forte, and the woods are full of lachrymose actresses. This dainty star has few serious rivals when it conies to generating humor. As Susan she surrounds herself with such an armor of innocence, and appeal so unmindful of villainy that she makes her kidnappers, roaA bad men, apnear like a delegation of missionaries. She always wanted to meet bandits, and doesn’t think they are bad fellows at all. But—she knows how to handle them, and the scenes in the shack in which they are hiding, are among the funniest of the comedy. The action takes a melodramatic turn occasionally, which is immediately relieved by some ludicrous situation, handled with piquancy by the dainty comedienne., “Leave it to Susan” will provide a bright and joyous evening’s entertainment The screening nights are to-night and tomorrow at Everybody’s. THE PEOPLE’S. BIG “KIDDIES” NIGHT TO-NIGHT. In addition to the full ordinary picture programme at the People’s tonight there will be some special comedies, commencing at 7.30, for the kiddies. and “Floss,” the wonderful diggers’ mascot, will givepier final .performance in New Plymouth for the especial pleasure of the children, who will be- admitted for the sum of sixpence.

To-morrow night, commencing at 8 o’clock, Mr. Albert Steele will present to the theatre-goes j of New Plymouth the latest London dramatic success, “Fighting Through.” It is a story of men and women, who by grit win their way in the world by fighting through. It is a, delightful narrative, filled with thrilling situations. The plot is a simple one, and one that contains all the ingredients which the most exacting taste demands in good English melodrama. It is a mixture of smiles and tears, sentiment mixed with humor, and humor spiced with sensation and excitement. In addition to ths fine picture Miss Beke Jones, a young English giil who last week charmed theatregoer of Auckland with the quality of her contralto voice. Ted Cook, the singing boxer, will also appear.
