ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “WHY CHANGE YOUR WIFE?” This picture is to be shown at Everybody’s to-night and to-morrow. It is a production of surpassing beauty. Robert Gordon, a lawyer, and Beth have been married ten years. He is still deeply in love with his wife, but is beginning to feel the matrimonial walls hemming him in. Beth, in the supreme effort to be a model wife, is living only for his good, and it is getting a little on his nerves. She is trying so hard to be a “model wife” that she forgets to play with him. She is not the charming companion he had married. She has become another person, a woman without the grace and charm that won him. He is growing slowly more disappointed. She in turn, is also disappointed. On the day of their first real quarrel, Fate—in the form of unpaid alimony—throws Sally Clark across his path. His fingers touch Sally’s card in his pocket, and before he knows it he is spending a cheery, cozy evening in her apartment —a striking relief to the stiff evening he has run away from. Beth learns of his visits and his interest in Sally, and believing her husband far too noble to carry on a mere flirtation, she assumed that he is in love with Sally, accuses him of being so, and offers to divorce him so as he can marry her. Such a thought had never entered Gordon’s head. But now, in a quarrel with his wife, she goads him to the point of admitting that he does love the girl, and wants to marry her, and the divorce proceedings take place. Beth’s heart is fairly broken by the day the final decree reaches her, but she is far too spirited to show her grief. Gordon marries Sally, and is surprised to find that the same thing happens as before. She changes just as the other woman had changed from a sweetheart to a wife. The little tricks with which she won him are gone. The climax is reached when he once more sees his exwife, now a free woman, captivating and alluring. She ultimately wins him back from his second wife. And now, having learned her lesson—that a woman must not only win a man’s love, but keep it, and that a wife, to bring any manner of comfort to a man must ,be his playmate as well as his married mate —the future looms before them aglow with happiness.

EVERYBODY’S. LEVANTE AND KEECH COMPANY. During the past week there has been much controversy regarding so-called “spiritualism,” the reason behind this being the approaching visit of those world-famed entertainers and wonderworkers, Levante and Keech, and supporting company, who hail from Ma-s--kejyne and Cook’s, London. Their first entertainment in New Plymouth will be presented at Everybody’s on Monday next, where we have no doubt a bumper house will greet them. Their entertainment is of a highly diverting na ture calculated to cause the most gloomy pessimist to become hysterica] long before the finale is reached. The programme consists of magic to mystify, spooks to make you laugh, and memories to cause wonder and bewilderment. The box plan opens at. Collier’s this morning.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF MAY ALLISON. Delightful May Allison appears finally to-night at the People’s, in the charming Metro six-reel feature “Held in Trust,” a ripping comedy-drama that everyone will enjoy. The bill includes the final episode of “Elmo,” and the commencing chapter of “King of the Circus,” the amusement wonder of the century, featuring Eddie Polo. To-morrow’s change, commencing at the matinee, will present Eugene O’Brien in Selznick’s latest feature “The Wonderful Chance,” and “Smashing Barriers/' gazettes and comedy.
