ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE WAKEFIELD CASE.” A fascinating story of crime is offered in “The Wakefield Case,” which comes to Everybody’s to-night and tomorrow with Herbert Rawlinson as the star. This photoplay is the work of Shannon Fife, an author long experienced in writing for the screen. He has woven together a remarkable thread of melodramatic incidents, all of which revolve about the detection of crime. “The Wakefield Case” carries what is known in the underworld as the Master Mind, a figure who is dominant over his associates and who conceives and executes the daring exploits of his profession. “The Wakefield Case” is marked for its lively action and its dominant note of mystery and suspense. It is finely acted by a wellknown cast of players. “Lure of the Circus.” gazette, and comedy are also shown, the matinee to-morrow commencing at 2 p.m. Randall Parrish has written no more popular story than “Bob Hampton of Placer,” the picturised version of which is to screen at Everybody’s next Monday and Tuesday. In the leading roles are James Kirkwood and Marjorie Daw. One of the most picturesque periods of American history figures in this feature, namely the Indian uprisings which followed the Civil War. It is an absorbing and beautiful story of faithful comradeship and love, as well as of adventure. The box plans are now open at Collier’s.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF ALICE LAKE. The popular screen star, Alice Lake, will appear finally to-night at the People’s in her splendid “Metro,” offering “Over The Wire,” a romantic drama of revenge from the pen of Arthur Somers Roche. The bill includes latest gazette, comedy, and “The Fatal Sign.” To-morrow’s change, commencing at the matinee at 2 p.m. presents Elaine Hammerstein, the popular and beautiful Selznick star in “Remorseless Love,” a virile tale of the Kentucky hills. “Remorseless Love” is a somewhat different type of story from any in which the popular screen star has yet appeared. The scenes are laid in the Kentucky mountains and the action has to do with dramatic incidents growing out of one of the ages-old feuds for which that section is celebrated.

ANNETTE KELLERMAN TQ VISIT NEW PLYMOUTH. ON MONDAY NEXT. - Miss Annette Kellerman, the worldfamous cinema star, whose screen work has been admired by the people of many countries, will personally make her appearance at the Empire (Theatre, New Plymouth, for two nights only, at the head of her own company of Tivoli Follies. Miss Kellerman and her company have just concluded a season throughout New Zealand- and Australia—thirteen weeks in Sydney and Melbourne, fifteen nights in Wellington, thirteen nights Christchurch, fifteen nights Auckland and eleven nights Dunedin. To see her as a ballet dancer in a spectacular number; to see her Oriental dance; to see her wire exhibition and hear her tales of movie stars; to see her wonderful fashion parade; to see her as “Neptune’s Daughter,” the mermaid in the crystal pool, is alone worth the admission price, for she is the essence of grace itself. The star will be surrounded by a strong company, specially selected to accompany her on the New Zealand tour. The company are travelling with six tons of scenery, also a huge crystal tank holding 700 gallons of water. The box plan is now open at Collier’s for both nights.
