ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “RIVER’S END” TO-NIGHT. Appropriately described as one of the greatest productions of the day, Marshall Neilan’s latest feature “The River’s End,” from the story by James Oliver Gurwood, is the starring attraction at Everybody’s to-night. The story has for its locale the far north regions of Canada and is a romance centreing around an officer of the North-West Mounted Police. The story is full of incident and excitement, and Lewis Stone doe/4 some thrilling work in the dual role of Keith the hunted and Connistor the hunter. When cornered in a Chinese opium den he does not hesitate to meet the attack of a dozen Chinamen, and an exciting time follows while lie shows the celestials something in the art of ju-jitsu. There is a well-known cast in the feature, including Marjorie Daw, Jane Novak, J. Barney Sherry and Togo Y-amaoto. The picture is powerful, exciting and full of dramatic situations. Marjory Daw and Jane Novak are the feminine stars of this constellation of artists. The box plans are now at Collier’s and intending patrons should reserve for to-night. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “SOCIETY SNOBS.” The big society play by Selznick, “Society Snobs,” featuring Conway Tearle and Martha Mansfield, concludes at the People’s to-night. The bill includes a two-reel Chaplin comedy, gazettes, Flynn drama- and “The Moonriders.” To-morrow’s change presents a big Fox double star bill with “Buck Jones” in “The One-Man Trail” and dainty Eileen Percy in "Big Town Ideas.” THE GREAT McEWEN. The entertainment provided at the Empire by the Great McEwen, the sleight of hand mystifier and hypnotiser, was greeted by another appreciative audiende on Saturday night. Mr. McEwen’s turns were distinctly clever and he handled cards, eggs, handkerchiefs, tumblers, and blocks of wood were spirited away or produced from the most unexpected places, at will. His handkerchief item- were also as mystifying as any, while the easy way in which he locked apparently solid rings together and separated them as easily after twisting them into a dozen differ ent fantastic shapes was also puzzling to the uninitiated. Later in the evening Mr. McEwen devoted himself to some hypnotic expositions, which were both clever and amusing. Miss Hebe Saint assisted Mr. McEwen with some elocutionary items which found much favor. It is a thoroughly entertaining performance, which will be given for the last time in New Plymouth to-night.
