ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE EMPIRE. “OUTSIDE THE LAW.” There are countless thrills in the Priscilla Dean feature, "Outside the Law,” which now is on view at the Empire Theatre. The thrills are all plausible arising from natural situations in the story, by Tom Browning, and handled in that director’s best manner. The scenes are laid in the San Francisco underworld, on the water front, in the Chinese quarters, on Knob Hill, and in the most palatial mansion of the Californian metropolis. For tenseness of situation, for tremendous climax, for powerful characterisation and for painstaking production there w have been few pictures presented before a local audience which compare with “Outside the Law.” The bill includes two-ree] comedy and gazette, and the season terminates to-night. The box plans are at Collier’s. THE EMPIRE. CARTER AND DE LYALL’S ENTERTAINERS. New Plymouth will have the opportunity of witnessing a unique entertainment on Tuesday and Wednesday next, September 27 and 28, at the Empire Theatre, when Carter and De Lyall’s refined entertainers will present their popular entertainment.

THE PEOPLE’S.

“BLIND YOUTH.” “Blind Youth” is a picturisation of the famous stage success of the same name, written by two of America s leading actor-dramatiate, Lou Tellegen and Willard Mack. Lou Tellegen, steeped in the knowledge of international affairs, supplied the European “atmosphere,” which pervades part of the picture, while v\ illard Alack, premier creator of dramatic situations, supplied the “punch.” “Blind Youth” is a bold yet skilful treatment of the great crisis faced by a man who encounters false love, then true then, when happiness is being realised at lour the false love comes like a ghost out of the past to complicate matters. The bill includes gazettes, comedy and “The Moonriders” the matinee to-day commencing at 2 p.m.
