A complete vaudeville theatre setting was built in the Dolly Sisters’ initial Metro screen attraction, “The Million Dollar Dollies,” which will be presented at the People’s Theatre to-night. On this vaudeville stage, the Dancing Dollies offer their repertoire of dances which has won them fame on the largest vaudeville circuit in the United States. It you have never seen these daughters of Terpsichore dance, here is your > chance. Women will find this picture a fashion review and the men will also find the many gowns attractive to gaze upon. The bill includes “King of the Circus,” Gazette and comedy. The big special foothill week matinee for the kiddies commences to-morrow at 3.30, when e complete programme of and "The Moonriders'’ will be screened. There will be no drama, so that the kiddies will have a rare feast of good fun. EVERYBODY’S. BIG MATINEE CARNIVAL TO-MOR-ROW AT 2.30. As no matinees will be held on Saturday, being the occasion of the Africans’ visit, a big special double star matinee bill will commence at Everybody’s tomorrow at 2.30, when the bi* week-end double bill will be screened in its entirety. The features are: “The A.B.C. of Love,” a Pathe 6-reel feature starring Mae Murrajf, and the Paramount-Art-craft 7-reel super-special, “The Teeth of tbe Tiger,” a picture that is all thrill and mystery. It is Maurice Le Blanc's master-crook creation, with a big element of mystery about it. “The Teeth of the Tiger” is not a mystery story only. It will win approval for many other reasons. The cast, is capable, headed, by David Powell, and the acting is superb. It is an excellent detective stori' and deals with the further adventures of "Arsene Lupin,” the hero immprtalised in fiction by Maurice Le Blanc. Those who cannot easily be out at nights should take advantage of the big matinee to-morrow at 2.30. The bo'x plan for evening sessions is at collier’s. To-night “Thou Art the Man,” featuring Robert Warwick, concludes its season. THE EMPIRE. “THE RIGHT TO HAPPINESS.” TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW. The big eight reel Universal special feature, “The Right to Happiness,” commences at the Empire to-night. “The Right to Happiness” is not a propaganda picture, neither is it a mealy-mouthed smoothing over of a bad situation. It is a forceful, smashing exposure of certain existing conditions with the solution pointed out clearly and dramatically. Even were it not for the picture’s own merit the name of the star would assure it success. Dorothy Phillips, whose work in “The Heart of Humanity- ’ and “Destiny” was epochal, stars In "The Right to Happiness.” She depict-: a dual role; a pampered child of society and a child of the Russian soviet. The bill includes a big two-reel special eomedv “That Dog,” and the prices are D.C. Is Gd, Stalls Is (plus tax). CENTRAL SCHOOL CONCERT. It is many years since a children’s entertainment of the kind arranged by the Central School been given in New Plymouth, and it is not surprising, therefore, to find the amount of interest that the forthcoming concert is creating. The concert is part of the original prosTam»® arrang«d by the general wm-

mittee in connection with the scheme for I raising funds for the improvement of the playing grounds at both the Cour- 1 tenay Street and Central Schools and the provision of better environment generally. The programme for the concert is an excellent one, and includes a number of well-known old English school songs, as well as new and specially adapted choruses, solos, action songs, and recitations. The pupils haye been to a lot of trouble to memorise the whole programme, and infinite pains have been taken in the preparation of every item, and the children may be relied upon to excel themselves. The concert will be given in the Empire Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of next week. The prices of admission will be 2s and Is. and school children will be admitted R t half-price except to the dress circle. Seats may be reserved at Collier’s’ Music Depot from Friday.
