ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. THE LUBOWSKI MUSKTANS AND, FULL PICTURE PROGRAMME. The violin virtuoso, Daniel Lubowski will give his first New Plymouth concert at Everybody’s tomorrow night. Very great skill is needed to play such a programme as- is announced. The Yokohama Gazette, in referring to two of the items included to-night, says: “Daniel Lubowski’s rendering of Mendelssohn’s ‘Concerto Op. 64’ was excellent. The young performer brought out the brilliant gaiety of this favorite composition in a very astonishing manner. ‘The Zephyr of Hubay’ formed a contrast, affording an oportunity for the display of technique, particularly harmonies.” Other items on the programme are: Wieniawski’s “Legende,” Hubay’s “Herjre-Kati,” Saint-Saens’s “Introduction and Rondo Cappriccioso,” Sarasate’s “Zigeunerweisen,” Dvorak's “Humeresque,” also “The Rosary.” Anna Lubowski will play the “Prelude” by Rachmaninoff, and the Dvorak’s “Humoresque,” also “The Roslar selections. Seats can be reserved at Collier’s. The picture programme presents the big 7-reel all-British Broad west film, “Snow in the Desert,” featuring Violet Hopson and Stewart- Rome. Violet Hopson and Stewart Rome, rapidly becoming the most popular of English stars, are seen together in the Broadwest feature, “Snow in the Desert,” a sort of modern variation of the “Taming of the Shrew,” but with originality of plot and methods. The production lacks nothing in the way of direction

or acting. In many scenes both stars do work that intensely interests and enthrals, and the story has an easy running logical sequence that makes it all the more lifelike. Latest Gazette and Interest are also on the bill. LAST NIGHT OF “EYES OF YOUTH.” The splendid “Equity” feature, “Eyes of Youth,” the first of the new Clara Kimball Young productions from her own company and which drew a packed house last night, concludes its local season to-night. The picture is in eight reels and does not fail to fascinate the onlookers for the whole of its length. The bill includes Gazette, Educational Review and “Dragon’s Net” No. 2. To-morrow’s change presents the big eight-reel Broadwest all-British film,, “Snow in the Desert,” which shows in conjunction with the Lubowski musical family. THE PEOPLE’S. GEO. WALSH AND SHIRLEY MASON. To-night’s new bill presents another of the famous double star programmes, headed by popular Geo, Walsh in “Number 17,” a smashing play of mystery and romance in a big city. Tn “Number 17” George Walsh is said to have one of the most thrilling roles of his career. He plays the part of a man who, singlehanded, fights a gang of enemies who would destroy him and those he loves. The bill includes Fox Gazettes, and popular Shirley Mason in “Girl of My Heart,” the film version of “Joan, of Rainbow Springs.” THE EMPIRE. “THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER.”

More than ordinary interest is being taken in the forthcoming presentation of “Banjo” Patterson’s classic, “The Man from Snowy River,” opening at the Empire on Thursday for a season of two nights. Some of the most beautiful and interesting scenes in “The Man from Snowy River” were taken at the home of the real man from Snowy River, nestling between two giant hills, on the banks of the Snowy River. Others were taken around the Mulgoa district, in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, and along the banks of the Nepean River. It’s rugged—plain—yet irresistible Australian! A story that sets your heart a’thumping and brings the mighty tide of National sentiment, which courses in every man’s being, no matter to what depth he may have sunk—surging up in an overwhelming wave! Away with the sordid drama of life’s social swirl away with weak-kneed stories of other races. Here is something as truly Australian as the native kangaroo. The box plan ip now open at .Collier’s.
