ENTERTAINMENTS.
THE PEOPLE’S TO-NIGHT. “JUST AROUND THE CORNER.” During the past sir months the Paramount forces have given the picture loving world four big masterpiece productions: First “Humoresque,” then “Inside the Cup,” and now “Just Around the Corner” and “The Sheik.” The first two pictures have already been screened in New Plymouth and to-night and to-morrow the third of the -series, “Just Around the Corner,” will be shown at The People’s. Like “Humoreeque,” “Just Around the Corner” is from the pen of Fannie Hurst and it has the heart-appealing qualities associated with all -her stories. A beautiful story, wonderfully told. The«e are the pictures we want, pictures that fulfil that unnameable desire, that are clean and sweet, combining genuine human pathos with delicious and natural humor. It tells of the tender care of a mother for her two fatherless children, Jimmy and Essie, and their love for her and affection for each other. The story takes a dramatic turn when Essie walks out with a fellow who is unworthy of her. The mother’s keen perception senses something amiss, especially as he will never venture into their home. The worry drives her close to the shadows, when at a critical moment the “beau” breaks with Essie. An unexpected turn in the story brings peace to the mother’s heart, but it is a different family who gathers after the crisis. Picture patrons have an opportunity to see in “Just Around the Corner” one of the finest screen dramas of all time. Seats may be reserved at Collier’s. EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “HER UNWILLING HUSBAND.” The fair beauty and unmistakable talent of Blanche Sweet as displayed in that bright and snappy comedy, “Her Unwilling Husband,” showing finally at Everybody’s to-night, are set in goodly circumstances. She has a fine story, well built, with more than a generous share of humor in situation and dialogue, her role gives her every opportunity to shine, and the support tendered by Albert Roscoe and Edwin Stevens only serve’ to make her latest picture a brilliant success. No one should miss this bright little picture; it is well worth while. The new programme for to-morrow will be headed by an Allan Dwar special feature, “The Broken Doll.” THE EMPIRE SATURDAY. “THE SNAPSHOTS” AND LEONARD NELSON COMPETITION.
