ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “PLEASURE SEEKERS.” The moot question of whether it is possible to reform a man by marrying him, is one of the themes of the latest Selzniek production, “Pleasure Seekers,” concluding at Everybody’s to-night. Elaine Kammerstein is the featured star of ..the production, and it is quite safe to say that she has never had a. vehicle that displayed her talents to the advantage that this one does. Sweetness and reserve characterise the whole of her work in the principal role, and in the highly dramatic moments, of which there arc many, she rises to great heights of interpretation. There is considerable novelty in the treatment of the story although its theme is not new, and the comedy that now and then appears to relieve the tension is natural and clever. The bill includes ’“Bride 13,” comedy, and. gazettes. The usual matinee tomorrow commences at 2.30, when the big Vitagraph feature “The Purple Cipher,” will be presented as well as gazettes and comedy. Matinee prices remain as usual. RETURN VISIT OF RENO AND ARTA.

So popular did Reno and Arta become with patrons last week that the management have made a special effort and secured a brief return, visit of these ' popular entertainers. Reno and Arta will re-appear at Everybody’s tb-mor-row and Saturday for a short return season, positively limited to two nights, so that old and new friends will have another chance of enjoying their clean, wholesome and entertaining turn. The picture, bill will consist of the big special Vitagraph feature 'The Purple Cipher,” featuring Earle •Williams, a thrilling story of Frisco’s Chinatown. The bill includes gazettes and comedy. The box plan is at Collier’s. THE PEOPLE’S. A BIG BRITISH FILM. To-nights big new bill presents the 7-reel all-(British film masterpiece “Nothing Else Matters,” produced by the Welsh-Pearson company at their Willesden studio.?. This company are the producers of “The Better ’Ole,” “Garryowen,” and their recent brilliant picture, “Nothing Else Matters,”a typical English romantic drama Vesturing some of Britain’s leading talent in the persons of Betty Balfour. Moya McGill, and. Hugh Wright. “Nothing (Else Matters ’’ is without doubt an exceptional British film in the technical sense and a good entertainment. Its direction and photography, are suburb, and the acting of at least two characters exceptionally good, and the production holds the attention right to the end. The bill includes “King of the Circiw,” gazette, and comedy. THE EMPIRE. THE CHERNIAVSKYS.

“Three of the most remarkable young men in the -world of music is the description given by the London Standard of the firinous young Russian musicians,

Leo, Jan, and Mischel Cherniavsky, who are making a re-appearance in New Zealand after an absence of six years. The Cherniavskys are the most-travelled concert artists in the world. Since their first tour of New Zealand over fifteen years ago, when, as boy prodigies, they were hailed as three of the musical wonders of the world, they have been ceaselessly afoot throughout the civil* ised globe, and to-day there is not an English-speaking country in which their name is not known. Necessarily, with ; the passing of the years, the art of this interesting trio has matured. The early promise of their boy-prodigy days has developed Into a sound and finished musicianship which stamps them as artists of supremost worth. Describing their first performance in Toronto, Canada, the Toronto Daily News said: “Toronto has heard many great and wonderful musicians, but Toronto has never known anything mere exquisite in music than was heard on Saturday night in Massey Hall, when Leo, Jan, and Mischel Cherniavsky, the young Russian musicians, played here for the first time.” The Cherniavskys are now touring New Zealand under the direction of Messrs. J. arid X. Tait, and will appear in the Empire New Plymouth, next Monday evening. The plan opens at Collier’s tomorrow’ morning. A concert will be given at Stratford next Saturday, August 13.
