ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. MARY MILES MINTER TO-NIGHT. “The Intrusion of Isabel” will be the Starring attraction at Everybody’s Theatre to-night. As Isabel Trevor, the delightful intruder of the story, Mary Miles Minter hhs a part that is distinctly congenial, not only because she portrays “a budding rose of Southern aristocracy/” but because it is perfectly suited to her sweet, girlish type. She does not act a part—she has only to be M.M.M. herself. There are amusing situations galore to lure smiles guaranteed to erase the lines of worry, waffles and missing vest buttons; a cunning kitten and a plump lady of color: a piano groaning under the touch of one whose glass was filled just twice too often; a perfectly good secret that spreads and spreads—these are only some of the clever incidents and “human touches” that give delight because they hold the mirror up to every day. The bill includes gazettes, comedy, and “The Invisible Hand” No. 12. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF Wm. RUSSELL AND SHIRLEY MASON. The engagement of William Russell at the People’s Theatre in “Children of Night,” will close with to-night’s showing. Russell is always a welcome visitor here, with his wholesome, stalwart presence and fine artistic work. And in no photoplay in which he has appeared has he made a more favorable impression than in “Children of Night.” Popular Shirley Mason also appears on this programme in her delightful comedy drama “Lovetime.” Fox gazettes are also shown.’ To-morrow May Allison appears in her big “Metro” special production, “Extravagance.” SOLE BROS.’ CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE. This well-known combination will appear at New Plymouth - on Monday and Tuesday. November 28 and 29. It is a real travelling circus and menagerie with its cage® of lions, tigers, panthers, bears, leopards, hyenas, jaguars, wolves, and monkeys. It is Australia’s representative show, organised by the present owners in Sydney in 1880—41 years ago. The proprietors have travelled- round the globe a dozen times seeking novelties and sensations. It is a huge concern, employing nearly 60 hand® and 60 horses. Its huge marquee,

capable of holding 2000 people, is cover-ed-in throughout and is both wind and waterproof. This year’s imported stars include some remarkable performers and they are said to submit a programme of thrills that eet all .previously accorded dangerous acts at naught. The element of hazards, is of courso, relieved by the antics of several newly-engaged clowns and funny men, along with a clever display of highly-trained horse® and ponies. The circus doors open at 7.15 anti the programme commences at 8 p.m. Usual circus prices will be charged.
