ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. A BIG SPECIAL ATTRACTION. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. “The Scoffer,” heralded as one of the season’s real dramatic thunderbolts, is announced as the attraction at Everybody’s to-night and to-morrow. It is said that this is Allan Dwan’s masterpiece, and on this ground it is expected to cause excitement. When a man’s sublime faith in Providence is shaken by a cruel fate arid he becomes bitter in his disbelief, it is certain he is “heading on” for extraordinary experiences, because no man ever fought fate without startling results. The leading character in “The Scoffer” provides a startling instance of a man’s turning away from, and finally returning to the faith which had borne him up previously. It is a 7-reel First National attraction and is enacted by an all-star cast of unusual brilliance. It is to show at usual prices. The bill includes gazette, comedy, and “Silent Avenger,” THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “GIRL OF THE SEA.” It is not every picture which is so entertaining and instructive as the De Luxe Selznick attraction “Girl of the Sea,” concluding to-night at the People’s. The featured artist is America’s most perfect woman, Betty Hilburn. One of the most exciting moments in “Girl of the Sea,” is the combat between a diver and an octopus, in which the honors go to the diver. The pictures were taken under the sea by the Submarine Film Company. They are unique and instructive, as well as highly entertaining and thrilling. The bill includes ‘•Moonriders,” and excellent supporting items.

TOM MIX TO-MORROW. “The Texan,” a Fox production starring Tom Mix which will begin an engagement at this theatre to-morrow night, is a picture rich in romance, sensational in incident, beautifully staged and abounding in the during feats for which this star is noted. Absolutely clean and wholesome throughout, it appeals with the greatest possible force of the great outdoors. Do you like snap, pep, punch, thrills, stunts, romance, comedy and the suggestion of a tear. Of course you do. Then don’t miss “The Tex-an.” A romance of the sage-brush land and the great plains and an absorbing drama of life in the great outdoors, of thrills, stunts and hair-raising situations. A big super-Snnshine comedy and gazettes are also on this bill. THE CHERNTAVSKY TRIO. WORLD-CELEBRITIES APPEAR TO-NIGHT. To-night, in the Empire Theatre the eagerly-awaited concert of the famous Cherniavsky trio of instrumentalists will take place. Memories of the last Dominion tour of these illustrious artists are still fresh in the minds of New Zealanders, and a hearty welcome from New Plymouth music-lovers at tonight’s concert is assured. Six years of continuous touring have intervened since the Cheruiavskys’ last appearance, this period having been principally devoted to the complete cultivation of the American and Canadian musical world. The Press criticisms throughout, those two countries were characteristically flattering. That of the New York Times is typical ‘•'They thrilled us again and again. They are really groat artists.” Sympathy I and ensemble being the two most important factors in trio-playing, it is easy to understand how the Cherniav--kys are what they are to-day. Brought I up* side by side, taught that what belongs to one belongs to each of them, playing together not only trios but solos, accompanied by each other for the last fourteen years, ail these factors, joined to their phenomenal native talent, have combined to make three df the most brilliant exponents of trioplaying in the world to-day. For tonight’s concert, which is under the direction of Messrs. J. and N. Tait, an excellent programme has been arranged. Details are advertised. Seats may be reserved at Collier’s. SEQUAH. An opportunity will be given the people of New Plymouth and district this evening, at 7.30, of hearing an interesting and instructive address by the world-famed Sequah. Sequah is acknowledged to be a fine speaker, having acquired the happy knack of holding his audience, whilst his demonstrations are remarka'ble. Sequah has travelled the world over, and for years his name has been a prominent one. He has Press notices from all the leading papers of the world. He has just finished a. successful season in Auckland, where he has been addressing very large audiences nightly. He will speak on the vacant section at the rear of Messrs. Sole Bros., butchers, Currie, Street. There will be no charge made for admission. LOUISE MACK’S TRAVELOGUES. c At the Empire Theatre, next Tuesday night, Miss Louise Mack will appear in her moving picture travelogues and original sketches.
