ENTERTAINMENTS.

NEW PLYMOUTH CHORAL SOCIETY. It is gratifying to know that a choral society is to be formed in New Plymouth, which will help to cultivate a taste for good vocal music. A society of this kind has long been wanted, and will give lovers of music an opportunity to hear some of the works of great composers rendered by local people. The production of the “Messiah” led to the formation of a committee to organise and frame rules, and it is hoped the society will meet with the support of the music-loving public. Mr. Cooper, the conductor, will be in attendance in Whiteley Hall to-morrow at 7 p.m. to interview intending members, and a hearty invitation is extended to all vocalists. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE VALLEY OF DOUBT.” “The Va-ftey of Doubt” is a story as untrammelled and free as the wide, generous Northland where its action takes place. It is rapid in plot development, and vigorous in pulse, and its scenery is unrivalled by any picture taken in the snow. The story, written by Willard Mack, contains many stirring dramatic situations, and a strong cast is headed by Thurston Hall and Arline Pretty. To-night’s final screening should attract another large audience.. latest Gazette, interest and “Tih Minh” are also on the bill. Wm. Farnum’s big 6-reel screen play, “Wings of the Morning,” commences to-morrow. One of the greatest scenes in this drama of the sea is a shipwreck —one of the most realistic incidents, it is said, ever photographed for a motion picture. An imitation of an ocean liner was built, and later wrecked on a rocky shore. The many perils and adventures that Mr. Farnum, as the hero, has to undergo, coupled with a delightful love story, bid fair to give the admirers of this screen star a great evening’s entertainment. EVERYBODY’S. MARIE DORONIN “TWELVE TEN”. There are certain stories which have a rare fascination for women, and “Twelve Ten” is certainly one of x these. It holds great opportunities for the little star, Marie Doro, whose ethereal beauty and charm were never so appealing as in this picture. The scenes are laid, and were actually filmed in London and Paris, and all the wonders of art and Nature, the marvellous beauty spots, of street life in these two great centres, are truthfully depicted. Taken all through, “Twelve Ten” is, for an English production, really a surprising mystery photoplay, of the type that retains its place in one’s memory long after the film has gone to the resting place of all pictures. “Twelve Ten” shows at Everybody’s to-night and tomorrow, with the twelfth episode of “The Vanishing Dagger”. Next Wednesday this wonder picture will commence a two-night season. Seats can now be reserved at Collier’s.
