ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. SYLVIA BREAMER IN “RESPECTABLE BY PROXY.” What would you do if you came home from Siberia and found your family mourning you as dead? Naturally, it would be quite a shock to the family—kind a happy surprise! But if you found to, young woman you had never seen before posing as your sorrowing widow, living in your home and securing the affections of your rich old mother, you’d get a shock and a surprise, wouldn’t you? Upon such a situation is hinged the delightfully spicy, but wholesome and romantic, story of “Respectable by Proxy,” in which Sylvia Breamer and Robert Gordon are starred at Everybody’s Theatre. The bill includes Gazette, comedy and City,” the matinee to-day commencing at 2 p.m. “THE OATH” AND “THE BOAT RACE.” Heralded as presenting one of the most potent problems of society, that of inter-marrying of creeds, “The Oath,” starring Miriam Cooper, Conway Tearie and Anna Q. Nilsson will be the starring vehicle at Everybody’s on Monday. This picture is from the novel "Idols,” oy William J. Locke, and deals with the marriage of a beautiful Jewess to a Gentile, showing that in spite of the law of creed “Thou Shalt Not Intermarry,” the law of the love of one being for another knows no barrier. Tins picture has been lavishly produced and among many dramatic situations that arise in the plfxy that in which an innocent woman brands herself in the open court as being guilty of a crime of which she is really innocent, in order %o save her husband’s best friend. A very interesting scene of this picture is the English Court Trial which has been faithfully depicted. As a production of splendour and portrayal “The Oath” is one of the most appealing features that has ever been produced. An added attraction on the programme will be the complete picture of the lladfieldArnst boat race at Wanganui last week. THE PEOPLE’S. “THE GIRL FROM NOWHERE.” The noted Selznick star, Elaine Hammerstein appears to-day at the People s in her latest production, ‘‘The Giri from Nowhere,” a play specially written to suit Miss Kammerstein’s ability. It revolves around a society maiden who marries a crook, and ixx order >o escape him seeks shelter in a log cabin. There a dramatic note is struck, for when asked to disclose her identity, she declares she is the wife of the cabin owner. The play fluctuates between drama and comedy, and altogether is a bright and wholesome productton. The bill includes gazette and comedy. The matinee to-day commences at 2 p.m. STRASBURG CLOCK 1 EXHIBITION.
