ENTERTAINMENTS. ELLA SHIELDS. EMPIRE THEATRE TO-NIGHT. New Plymouth has been awaiting with interest the coming of Ella Shields, the brilliant English comedienne, who will make her first appearance at the Empire Theatre to-night. This little lady is a clever and refined male impersonator, and holds the audience thoroughly interested the whole time she is on the stage. The Press of Melbourne have been eulogistic in their praise of this clever performer. She has the most attractive personality, and the gift of i? diaracter fully developed. Her voice is of pleasing quality, her use of it effective, and her clear enunciation adds greatly to the success of her impersonations. She appears first as a man about town in morning dress, then as a swagger London policeman, “the dandy of the force.” The British midshipman comes next, and then “Burlington Bertie,” a broken-down swell. These are all given with real artistic insight, and form a really enjoyable and arresting act. The great success of Miss Shields in Melbourne is sure to be repeated in Nev’ Plymouth. The song that has made Miss Shields famous is “Burlington Bertie of Bow,” her interpretation of the brokendown swell being a wonderful study of characterisations. Miss Shields has her own company of high-class vaudeville stars to support her, including: Mr. and Miss Tree, musical mentalists; the three Jacksons, sensational equilibrists; Cahill and Brooke, in songs and melodic.?; Maurice Sterndale, jazz violinist; Con Moreni, of pantomime fame, and other well-known artists. The box plan is on view at Collier’s and intending patrons are advised to book without delay. EVERYBODY’S. “FORBIDDEN FRUIT” TO-NIGHT. Exerting a powerful appeal that is bound to touch the hearts of its audiences will be “Forbidden Fruit,” to be shown at Everybody’s Theatre to-night and to-morrow. This photoplay is the latest creation of that master producer Cecil De Mille, and the story rises in great dramatic heights in the depiction of the sufferings of a young wife, who, married to a . shiftless scoundrel, ultimately finds happiness in the love of a real man. This story is by Jeanie Macpherson, who is responsible for many of the scenarios of past De Mille successes. Included in the east of notable players are Agnes Ayres, Forrest Stanley. Theodore Roberts and Kathlyn Williams. Cecil De Mille has given us gorgeous mounted dramas, dramas of married life that require such delicate handling to raise them above the sordid atmosphere of the commonplace, yet require the realism of life. “Forbidden Fruit” will reach and'overreach your expectations as a worthy successor of Mr. De Mille’s great achievements. “Forbidden Fruit” was new to Eve in the wonderful garden of full and plenty, Eden, and has become more and more known as age followed age, but here is a picture with a producer that raises an age old theme above the commonplace. Prices are, D.C. 2s, stalls Is 6d. Seats can be reserved at Collier’s. NEXT FRIDAY, “THE KID.” “The Kid,” probably one of the finest pictures which has ever been released by the “world’s comedian,” Charles Chaplin, will be shown in New Plymouth at Everybody's next Friday and Saturday. The feature has been the subject of endless litigation, as it was involved in the trouble with the comedian and his wife, and he eventually paid a fabulous sum to clear it from entangling engagements. It is claimed as the summit of his achievement, and probably this is because it allows the comedian in a totally different light—in the serious side of the picture business. Apart from the fact that one sees the old “Charlie” as mirthful as ever, there are tinges of sadness woven into the picture in a truly delightful manner. This picture was screened specially at Buckingham Palace for the King. Jacky Coogan, the boy in the picture, is considered a valuable “find” for picturedom, and altogether “The Kid” is said to have taken its place among the notable picture works of all time. Wonderful long run records have been established by this picture. In Wellington City Theatre it drew crowded attendances for four weeks and was only withdrawn then to allotv the provincial towns to get a screening. THE PEOPLE’S. “PEGGY PUTS IT OVER.” A picturesque production of rural fite and written in a comedy vein contrasted with scenes of a more emotional nature characterise “Peggy Puts it Over." Alice Calhoun, who excels in this type of photoplay, is given a role which becomes her better than anything in which she has previously appeared. While she portrays a rural girl she is not of the country-mouse type, but a college-bred girl who is graduated from a polytechnic institute with the degree of civil engineer. She attempts and succeeds in a building project which her father and others have tried and been forced to abandon. She overcomes the opposition of the inhabitants and succeeds in marking the chief opposer. Beautiful locations have been selected for the production, which also gives it a scenic value and makes it an education picture. This picture will be showng at the People’s to-night, for one night only.
