ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE TIGER’S CUB.” * There have been many pictures with scenes in Alaska, but—tho opinion seems to be unanimous among those who have seen it—never h<as life in this Northern wilderness been so vividly depicted in a story so interest-compelling and human as “Tiger’s Cub,” the William Fox production starring Pearl White, which closes a very successful run at the People’s Theatre to-night. It is the kind of picture that holds an appeal for every man, woman and child. A big Sunshine comedy and gazettes are also shown.

EVERYBODY’S.

•ALE’S BUTTON” TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW.

Instant popularity greets the hilarious extravaganza, “Alf’s Button,” the moment it flashes on the screen. A cleverly conceived variation of the well known fairy tale of Aladdin’s Lamp, “Alf’s Button” might be dubbed a direct descendant of that famous household article. The story introduces, or rather brings back Alf ’Tggins, of “Better ’Ole” fame, the role being splendidly played by Leslie Henson, one of England’s foremost comedians, and the discovery that one of his buttons on his new tunic has the magic qualities of Aladdin’s Lamp, leads to many amazing adventures on the part of Alf and his pals. Seldom is there such an aggregation of original mirth seen in any one feature. “Alf’s Button” abounds in skilful characterisations of the British soldier, giving it a human interest as well as providing shoals of the humor that is typical of the breed. No one should resist the call of “Alf’s Button,” for the magic of the button is infectious in regard to its attraction. “Alf’s Button” is showing to-night and to-morrow at Everybody’s and for either night can now be reserved at Collier’s. MATINEE TO-MORROW AT 2.30. To enable all the kiddies to see “Alf’s Button” the management have arranged a special matinee screening to commence at 2.30 to-morrow, when children will be admitted for sixpence.

THE EMPIRE. “ONCE TO EVERY WOMAN” TOMORROW.” To-morrow and for the following 1 .Tonights the management of the Empire are presenting a big special attract on in the Universal-Jewel production, “On< to Every Woman,” a heart-appeal; i< story of mother love. There is a whole picture in these four words, spoken towards the end of one of the most heart - touching photodramas ever screen-?. Mother, I’ve come home! Instinctive v you know the story—and you know* that never before have you been so eager for a real home-and-mother play—for a story that would touch your heart for a cast that could play such a story to perfection—for a production that, would satisfy in every last faithful detail. From small town to big city goes the action of “Once to' v v«ry Woman” — from the shabby little . r -| »r of a village blacksmith to the mifH'*”' stage of the Metropolitan and back again. And when you have come back—back home, with Aurora Meredith, the gorgeous song-bird, whose vo.ee will never charm 1 he* world again—you will have run the gamut of human ambitions and passions in an unequalled drama of mother love whose appeal for you personally will live for ever.
