ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “SKY-EYE” TO-NIGHT. “Sky-Eye,” the first picture made in the clouds, showing at Everybody’s tonight and to-morrow night, has the distinction of being the first and only motion picture ever made, in which nearly all the action centres in the’clouds. During the entire making of this feature, two aeroplane ambulances and a corps of doctors were on hand, both on ground and in mid-air, due to the extreme danger all the players were subject to. Six thousand feet o-f thrills were the fina l results, in which an absorbing storv of love, unscrupulous methods and heroism is interwoven. The oil fields, the aviation fields, and the clouds are the scenes of action. Among the stunts which will keep spectators on edge are the parachute drop of two thousand feet, from a wrecked plane, a drop from a speeding plane to a rushing train, and the realistic burning of hundreds of acres of oil land. The cast of players include June Keith, Thelma Kenley, Lieut. Russel, J. Hunt as “SkyEye,” and many others. The bill includes gazette, comedy, and “The Invisible Hand.”

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE SCUTTLERS.” “The Scuttiers,” the Fox production in which William Farnum has been drawing large crowds to the People’s Theatre, will end its run to-night. Farnum is always pleasing, but in “The Scuttiers” he has a vehicle that is especially strong and entertaining. It is a story of the sea, with all the fascination that a clever story of this sort carries. A delightful “Sunshine” comedy, and gazettes are also on the bill. To-morrow’s'change presents the “Goldwyn” racing melodrama, “Lord and Lady Algy,” featuring Tom Moore and Naomi Childers. The “Diamond Queen,” gazettes, and comedy, are also on the new bill. THE EMPIRE TO-NIGHT. “RUDD’S NEW SELECTION.” Almost incessant scenes of laughter judiciously flavored v.’ith human sentiment characterise Raymond Longford’s latest Australian production for Messrs. E. J. and Dan Carroll’s “Rudd’s New -S flection,” which is to be screened at the Empire to-night and to-morrow. The homely humor of the quaint but true bush types created by Steele Rudd in this companion picture to “On Our Selection” will appeal strongly to audiences who appreciate clean and wholesome fare. Set in delightful bush and mountain scenery, a love story has been written round Nell (Lottie Lyell), who has become the ideal of two brothers, one of whom meets with a tragic end and almost brings disaster to two young lives. Tragedy, however, is not stressed in the Carroll production. Laughter is the keynote throughout, and the worries of the newly, but already mud jnarried Dave (Tol Ordell), the jokes of the high spirited Joe (Louis Fors), the kitchen amenities., of Sarah (Charlotte Beaumont), and her sister-in-law Lil (May Renno), and the iraseible behavior of old Dad (J. P. O'Neill), both on and off his prosperous new selection, provide for plenty of wholesome fun. The box plans are at Collier’s.

THE ANCIENT MARINER. The box* plan for the New Plymouth Choral Society’s next concert, which takes place on Wednesday, November 9, opens at Collier’s music warehouse on Friday morning next, and the public will be well advised to book early, as inquiries are being received already from near and far, as to when seats may be reserved. The principal work for the concert will be the production of J. F. Barnett’s cantata “The Ancient Mariner,” based on S. T. Coleridge’s poem. The work is dramatically descriptive, and wonderfully fascinating both in the solo and chorus work, while there are some effective quartette parts for the principal voices. The society has been particularly fortunate in securing the services of some of the foremost artists in the Dominion. Madam Winnie Fraser, who has recently sung with marked success for the Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington societies, will sing the soprano part. Madam Ivo Symes (Wanganui) is to sing the contralto solos, while the parts for men have been allotted to Mr. Hubert Carter (tenor), and Mr. Hamilton Hodges (bass), the latter singing the part of Jie Mariner. The choir will also sing several part songs, and solos will be sung by Mrs. A. B. Macdonald and Mr. Hubert* Cartel'. “THE GREAT McEWEN.” A DISTINGUISHED ENTERTAINER. On Friday evening the Great McEwen will make his initial appearance at NewPlymouth in the Empire Theatre, and considerable interest is being manifested in the visit of this eminent mesmerist, magician, and entertainer. The programme will consist of conjuring,, sleight-of-hand, card manipulation, elaborate illusions, and demonstrations of auto-suggestion, mental telepathy, thought transference, and occult science. It is claimed for the Great McEwen that through the whole evening there is not a dull moment, and while there are many mesmeric experiments of a serious nature, laughter predominates. McEwen has appeared on more than one occasion by Royal command at Buckingham Palace and at the present King’s country seat, Sandringham. The management announce that, at the request of some citizens, special experiments and demonstrations will be given which are rarely attempted in public. The box plan for each night will be available for inspection at Collier’s music shop.
