ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. DOUBLE FEATURE BILL TO-NIGHT. The virile Vitagraph star, Harry Morey, another of his fighting parts in the story by Cyrus Townsend Brady, “The Man Who Won.” Plenty of mystery and melodramatic situations keep you thrilled right up to the whirlwind denouement, where Morey throws the villain of the piece over a cliff. In his supporting cast are Betty Blythe and that old-time screen idol, Maurice Costelloe. This is one of the features on the double bill to be screened at Everybody’s to-night and to-morrow. The second feature on the bill is a fivereel comedy-drama, “A Fugitive from Matrimony,” starring H. B. Warner. Confirmed bachelors, social climbers, designing mammas, a millionaire cupiddodger, and an escaped convict all have a part in “A Fugitive from Matrimony.” Incidentally, it discloses the best work Warner has done for a long time—the role is eminently suited to him, the story is bright and humorous with many original touches, and taken all through may be considered a happy and humorous picture. This bill shows at the matinee to-morrow afternoon also. EMPIRE THEATRE TO-NIGHT. MDLLE. IRMA CARON AND REMARKABLE TRAVELOGUE. ''Mdlle Irma Caron, the distinguished versatile entertainer, will make her first appearance in New Plymouth to-night and will give a final and second performance to-morrow evening. This charming artist has simply captured New Zealand audiences wherever she appeared, and the Press of the Dominion has been loud in its praise of her finished work. Mdlle. Caron presents excerpts from the popular grand, comic and light operas in character costume, sings ballads, songs, plays her beautiful Amati violin, dances, talks, and generally speaking surprises her audiences at every number and turn. In addition to this* fine artist, Mr. M. P. Adams will present his remarkable travelogue, which is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining and unusual pictures ever thrown on a screen. It depicts the vast unknown country of the Nor’-West of Australia —pearling, coral reefs, wonderful fish, peculiar trees, dugong spearing, aboriginal life, and the most astounding pictures of turtle life ever secured. Armed only with a camera and backed by a well equipped expedition, William Jackson went forth and secured the record of the exploring party which spent some eight months on this wild coast. Mr. Adams explains the film as it is unreeled. It is said to be wonderfully enlightening. He is leaving for London on March 3, where he is to launch the picture during the English summer. The box plan is at Collier’s and the usual popular prices are being charged—ls fid, 2s, and 2s 6d. SPECIAL SCHOOL MATINEE TO-DAY A special matinee of “Australia’s 'jyild Nor’-West” will be given this afternoon at 3.30. Mr. .Adams will tell the tftory of the expedition during the screening, and the picture should prove a fine education for the school children.
