ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE LEOPARD WOMAN'’ TONIGHT. Stewart Edward White is perhaps thu most popular author of his kind in the world to-day, and not the least popular of his much read novels is “The Leopard Woman,” which has been pic’.iuised. by J. Parker Read . Junr. In the title role of this feature Louise Glaum is starred with the virile and powerful House Peters playing opposite her. The story is set in the locale of the African Congo with all its wjld lavishness of scenery and beauty, its negro characters, its wild animals and its torrid heat. The story tells of a strong man’s fight against the wiles of a beautiful and cunning woman. Maxlame, whom he meets while on a dangerous mission to a far off native tribe in the heart of Africa. An extraordinary romance springs up between the two, who are bound on the same mission and a great diplomatic tragedy is averted through the woman's realisation that she loves her enemy. The climax of the story is powerful and thrilling to a degree. The screening nights are to-night and to-morrow at Everybody’s. Seats may be reserved at Uodier’s. THE PEOPLE’S.

MALE CHOIR SOCIETY.

The conspicuous success hitherto attained by artists engaged by the Male Choir Society in their former concerts, is expected to be surpassed in the Empire Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday evenings next, when Miss Nancie Gibbs, solo violihist, late of Covent Garden, London, will make her first appearance before a New Plymouth audience. Everywhere she has gone she has met with the same flattering comments from Press and public, who, charmed with her exquisite tone and perfect technique. have accorded her the plaudits of a delightful audience. In Wanganui she was hailed as a brilliantf star. In her accompanist, Mr. Geo. Holloway,, of Wellington, Miss Gibbs has an able ally. He also is a consummate a list, and lends the soloist most effective assistance by his masterly playing. The new orchestra will also lend valuable assistance in enlivening an already attractive programme, and it is confidently hoped that the innovation will he a marked success. Mr. Alf. North, a member of the choir, will sing several numbers, which are of high order, and well suited to the singer’s capabilities. Plan at Collier’s.
