ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE -PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF EXTRAVAGANCE. Delightful May Allison in her big Metro special production, “Extra vakgance,” concludes to-night at the People’s. This js a scintillating and romantic drama of society, containing most beautiful dressings and settings and charming May has certainly surpassed her previous work by a long way. An exceptionally strong supporting cast assist in making the production such a huge success. The bill includes gazettes, comedy, and “The Diamond Queen.” Tb-morrow’s change, commencing at the matinee at 2 p.m., presents Owen Moore in his latest Selznick comedy drama, “A Divorce of Convenience.” Gazettes, Flynn detective, and “Branded Four” are also on this bill. EVERYBODY’S. ALICE JOYCE IN “VtCE OF FOOLS?’ Alice Joyce in a new society picture “The Vice of Fools” will be the attrac-. tion at Everybody’s to-night and tomorrow. It is a charming, dean, entertaining drama liberally interspersed with comedy, which offers the star every opportunity to impress with her delightful personality. Four parties fight in the romance, and all four are in love, but no two with each other. Surely an interesting problem. Things straighten out in the end. The bill includes gazettes, interest, and .comedy. The matinee to-morrow commences at 2 p.m.

A BIG LAUGH BOOM COMMENCING MONDAY NEXT.

“A Small Town Idol” comes to Everybody’s Theatre on Monday next, and practically every member of the all-star-aggregation of funny folk is enrolled in a congenial part. “A Small Town Idol” more than makes good in the presence of its Sennett predecessors. Ben Turpin is the village hero. Phyllis Haver is his small town ideal, Marie Prevost is the city girl, Charlie Murray is the indefatigable constable, Jimmy Finlayson is the wretched villain who concocts all the trouble, and Kalla Pasha and all the rest of the Sennett notables are to be seen advantageously in the shifting scenes that cover as many places as are usually revaled in a half-dozen “problem plays” and a dozen comedies. “A Small Town Idol” is an authentic story of a village youth, wrongfully accused, making good in the city and returning to find the villain espoused to his sweetheart and he (the hero) accused of murder. SOLE BROS? CIPjCUS AND MENAGERIE. Like a well-known brand of soap, Sole’s Circus is a household word throughout Australia and will be so shortly in New Zealand. This is cue to the far-seeing management of the Sole regime. The firm have at all times endeavored to present a good clean and wholesome circus programme. It is now on its first tour of the Dominion, having just returned from a sojourn in th,p Australian capital, where a complete new company of artists was engaged from the principal Vaudeville theatres and continental circuses. The equestrian department is said to outrival any other combination in Australasia, and contains highly bred horses and ponies whose training has reached perfection. Accompanying the circus is the menagerie with its lions, tigers, bears, leopards, panthers, hyenas, jaguars, and monkeys. Sole provides all these things, and has in addition one of the finest bands that has ever travelled the Dominion with a similar class of entertainment. Comfortable seating is provided for 2000 people. Popular prices, children half price.
