ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF CHAS. RAY IN “NINETEEN AND PHYLLIS.” In “Nineteen and Phyllis,” concluding to-night at Everybody’s, Charles Ray has scored another cinema triumph. The production of “Nineteen and Phyllis” provides a most wholesome and refreshing entertainment. It is a delightful story of youthful romance pictured in skilful and entertaining manner. Replete with humor and founded on the boyish romance of a nineteen-year-old youngster, it is a typical Charles Ray vehicle. In “Nineteen and Phyllis” Ray is seen as a town dandy, whose greatest aim in. life is to dazzle the eyes of the fair young miss whom he some day hopes to win. Pathe gazette and tworeel comedy are also on this bill. The big super attraction, “Lying Lips,” has been booked to appear shortly at this theatre. THE PEOPLE’S. TOM MIX IN “HANDS OFF.” Needless to say, being a picture, it is replete with action. Probably one of the biggest th ingw Mix has done, it took more than two months to film the thrilling incidents so vividly narrated in written story. Among the big scenes is a stampede of a herd of wild horses, staged with real western realism. In the path of this onrushing herd is a •four-year-old youngster, snatched up just in time by the intrepid Mix and lifted to safety on his saddle horn. This is said to be a moment of suspense rarely found or dared in shadowland drama. Throughout the picture Mix will have ample opportunity to prove again his prowess with lariat and trusty “six,’ and a. distinct novelty will be added in a comedy role interpreted by Mix’s favorite horse, who is seen in a series of unusual close-ups. Mix will be seen as a cow-puncher and a Texas Ranger. His leading woman is Pauline Curley, a sixteen-year-old beauty whose talent has been demonstrated in various big screen successes. A laughable Sunshine comedy “Who’s Who.” and Fox gazettes, are also on the bill. STUDENTS’ RECITAL. . Arrangements are now well in hand for the recital to be held on Monday. December 19, by the pupils of Mr. Arnold O. Sturrock. As this is the first recital of its kind that has been held in New Plymouth for some time it should be well patronised by all those music lovers who relish the artistic performance of musical compositions of a high order. Standard works of all periods from Purcell to De Bussy will be represented. The box plan opens at Colliers’ on Thursday morning, the 15th instant.
