ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. “THE GIRL IN THE TAXI.” “The Girl in the Taxi,”’ a first national attraction, starring Mr. and Mrs. Carter De Haven, will be shown again this afternoon and to-night at Everybody’s. The picture is an adaptation of . the musical comedy stage success of the same name in which. Mr. De Haven scored a triumph. The story centres round the exploits of a young man whose father has dubbed him a molly coddle. His efforts to untangle the embarrassing situation that confronts his father earns for him a temporary laurel wreath. The situation which caps the climax of the farce comedy is most humorous. The supporting picture includes the New Plymouth Parliamentary tour of tlie South Sea Islands, an interesting travelogue in two reels. The final screening takes place to-night. COMING MONDAY. CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN “CHARGE IT.” That money is not the root of happiness is the great moral of “Charge It,” Clara Kimball Young’s latest feature at Everybody's on Monday. “Charge It” is a pulsating, absorbing, throbbing, fascinating drama. It holds the mirror up to life. It is smart, colourful, lavishly produced. It brings forth the greatest acting of Clara Kim'ball Young’s long career this splendid photo drama in which she portrays four distinct characters—the modest housewife, the nurse, the woman of wealth, and the bedraggled ibroken-down dishwasher in the cheap restaurant t. It is dedicated to millions of women who don’t realise the value of money. It is a beautiful story,, beautifully told. THE PEOPLE’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. “BURN ’EM UP BARNES.” Proving himself a daredevil driver, Johnny (Torchy) Hines, the popular and youthful star, has a particularly strong role in. his initial Selznick feature starring vehicle, “Burn ’Em 'Up Barnes,” which starts at the People’s to-day. Mr. Hines is shown driving a racing car at a ninety-mile an hour clip, and winsome and nervy Betty Carpentier, his leading woman, who is seated beside him, is shown urging him on to greater speed. There are many exciting and humorous situations in the story, which is an original one from the pen of Roymond L. Schrock, and was directed by George A. Beranger. Edmund Breese, George Fawcett, J. Barney Sherry are with the star. The support is said to be one of the strongest ever assembled for a photoplay production. Supporting pictures are Topicals, Comedy, and “Adventures of Tarzan,” Episode 14. The prices remain as usual. SCOTCH CONCERT. The programme for the above concert to be held in the Workers’ Hall next Wednesday in aid of the New Plymouth Pipe Band Fuffd appears in our amusement column and a perusal of same will satisfy our readers that a first-class entertainment is assured. The programme was arranged at the request of the New Plymouth Caledonian Society by Mr. D. H. Thomson, who hails from Dunedin, the Edinburgh of the South, and his knowledge of concert organising in the North Otago district, where he had the honour of raising more than two thousand pounds for patriotic purposes by his own concert party is sufficient guarantee of an excellent entertainment. Every item will be Scotch and there is sufficient variety in the programme to satisfy the most fastidious. Apart from the worthy object of the concert, especially for those of Scottish descent, the quality of the entertainment will be well worth the price of admission. Tickets can be obtained from members of the New Plymouth Caledonian Society and seats can be reserved at Collier’s. A dance will follow the concert for those so inclined.
