ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. FRANK KEENAN, “BROTHERS DIVIDED.” Occasionally the picture comes along that is unheralded by effusive praise, yet is a really worthy 'production, and one that is guaranteed to provide perfect entertainment. Such a production is “Brothers Divided,” the Pathe feature showing to-night at Everybody’s, with Frank Keenan in the arduous dual role of the two brothers. It is big and human to a degree; without being in any way classified as propaganda. ‘■'Brothers Divided” makes an honest attempt to light the way to a better understanding between employer and employee, and having been directed by the veteran himself, Frank Keenan, in shouldering the triple responsibility, has been eminently successful. The bill includes gazette, Kinogram, and a big tworeel comedy. The matinee to-morrow commences at 2 p.m. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF BERT LYTELL. If you are a wild woman who has never been tamed by a cave-man, see Bert Lytell in the new Metro production of the successful stage play, “The Misleading Lady,” that is now appearing at the People’s Theatre. It’s all about a girl who laughed at a man until he picked her up and carried her off to a cabin in the woods where he chained her by the ankle to a ring in the floor. It’s a humdinger of a picture for thrills and laughter. The bill includes gazettes, comedy, and “King of the Circus."

To-morrow’s change presents another big Selznick special “The Sin that was His,” a virile play of the Alaskan mining camps, featuring Win. Faversham. “Moonriders,” gazette, and comedy are also on the bill, and the matinee tomorrow commences at 2 p.m. THE EMPIRE. FRANK MAYO IN “THE BLAZING TRAIL." TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW. A story of the Blue Ridge Mountains, rich in romance and vibrant with drama, servee Frank Mayo as his latest star-’ ring vehicle, commencing at the Empire to-morrow night. In “The Blazing Trail” the star appears as a young physician who plays truant from hie laboratory to regian his mental equilibrium and goes to live among the illiterate mountaineers of the Blue Ridge. His life work is to diecover a specific for blood poisoning, and hie unceasing pursuit of the subject hee broken his mind. In the pastoral mountain community he , forgets his work until a little girl’s life ie threatened with a mysterious blood poison. Then he summons his vast scientific knowledge and saves her life after a furious fight, coupled with obstacles which require his greatest heroism to overcome The bill includes a big two-reel Century comedy and gazettes. MALE CHOIR CONCERT. Opportunity is taken to remind New Plymouth music lovers, of the approaching concerto to be given by the New Plymouth Male Choir on Tuesday and Wednesday next, September 20 and 21. The excellence of the programme that has been arranged will guarantee supporters an absolute musical treat. Of the capabilities of Mr. Ernest Drake, the famous New Zealand tenor, insufficient indication can be given by mere words—a hearing is the only wise course to pursue. It is stated ’that Mr. Drake will be one of the finest, if not the best, tenors a New Plymouth audience has ever had the opportunity of hearing. Mr. A. L. Moore, who will Also be assisting the choir, will be a source of delight to his hearers. Mr. Moore is an elocutionist of the best calibre, and he will be giving items which are well chosen, and of a type well suited to the audience, for which he will be performing. The Melody Four, which is always a welcome performing factor, will contribute their latest and best numbers. Here again we are certain that the audience will receive a decidedly happy entertainment. The box plan opens for the public to-day at Messrs. Collier’s music warehouse. Patrons should book early and avoid disappointment.
