ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “SMILING ALL THE WAY.” While social equality is the dominating theme of “Smiling All the Way,” concluding to-night, at Everybody’s, and the two principal characters are a society butterfly and a cook for a lumber camp, with a wealthy rotter making the third angle, there are three outstanding features of the production—it embraces the good, the true and the beautiful. At the same time it fairly brims over with bubbling laughter, and is both tense and absorbing. David Butler as the lumber camp cook, and Lea trice Joy as the girl of high social position, are wholly at home in their characters. “Smiling all the Way” is a picture that can be safely recommended as good entertainment, and the undoubted moral is pointed without being over-stressed. The bill includes gazettes, comedy and “The Invisible Hand.” On to-morrow's new programme there will be a film of the bowling match between the N.Z. bowlers and Glasgow Select at St. Rollo Green, Glasgow. THE PEOPLE’S. “PARTNERS OF THE NIGHT.” A new type of detective such as Clifford in “Partners of the Night,” Leroy Scott’s great criminal mystery drama presentd by Samuel Goldwyn and Rex Beach, commences at the People’s tonight. Clifford is the type of officer who makes it his duty to reform rather than convict his captives. In realising his ideals, he risks his life and reputation. A beautiful woman who was to marry him is proved to be a criminal, and confronts him with the greatest problem of his life. We have never seen a detective story with such amazing surprises and such crashing climaxes, such heart-grip-ping romance, as “Partners of the Night.” The bill includes gazettes, comedy and “The Diamond Queen.”
