ENTERTAINMENTS.

PIANOFORTE AND DANCE RECITAL. ANOTHER mju-sical TRIUMPH. There was again a large and appreciative audience at the Workers’ Social Hall last night, when Miss Constance Leatham and Miss Mavis Take gave the second of their combined solo pianoforte | and classic dance recitals. Miss Leatham gave an entirely new programme, her numbers covering a wide range and givino- full scope to her wonderful powers of° interpretation. After every number she was re-cal led, and though the programme was no light one the accomplished artist willingly responded with several request numbers. Brief word sketches by Mr. R. H. Rocket assisted the audience to intelligently understand several of the solos. Miss Tuke's graceful exposition of the art of dancing again captivated. Both young ladies were the recipients of floral tributes from admirers. Mr. F. E. Gooder contributed to the success of the evening with some pleasing songs. The aceompan iament s to the. danemg were played by Mrs. George "and Mn" Rupert George.

EVERYBODY’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 3.15. “IMPERIAL INDIA.” At a special matinee this afternoon and again for the last time to-nigut “Imperial India” will be shown at Everybody’s. Early on the bill are the views of the Prince of Wales’ visit to India, taking in the glittering pageantry of the East, as exhibited in the reception accorded His Royal Highness at Bombay, Poona, and Biganir. Only in dreams does one see -palaces sueh as that of the Maharajah of Biganir, with its wondrous frescoes and tessalated facades. Bombay en fete is a dazzling sight, and the views at the racecourse and the Maidan are wonderfully interesting. At Poona, the Prince smiles on laughing, cheering millions, and at Bikanir he smacks the first goal in a polo match. The picture shows the Prince shaking hands with about 9547 people, and still keeping merry and bright. Winsome Connie Talmadge stars in the second attraction, a six reel First National comedy “Woman’s Place” which gives her an opportunity to provide one of the most entertaining pieces of comedydrama. of her brilliant career. As the candidate for the Mayoralty, in which her chief political platform is fourteen trunks of Parisian gowns, Miss Talmadge is immense. In the end, however, she finds that woman’s rights are often woman’s frights. When she handed out bouquets, they greeted her with brickbats. She was running for Mayor, but aftei* a few brickbats had been hurled at her she was running for home. Th* play is a delightful satire on woman’s place in politics, and the humor is delicious. The final screening takes place to-night.

THE PEOPLE’S. “BUCK” JONES IN “PARDON MY NERVE.” Charles Jones, the William Fox star, who has jumped to the front rank of screen favorites in the past year, will be at the People’s Theatre to-night in his latest picture of western life “Pardon My Nerve!” Those who have followed this clever horseman know that he has shown considerable nerve as well as increasing acting ability in each succeeding picture in which he has appeared. The natural conclusion is that he will out-nerve anything he ever has done when you see him in “Pardon My Nerve.” It is said he underwent special preparation for this picture in order to get up extra speed and additional power for the battles in which he has to take part. Eileen Percy is Jones’ leading woman in this offering, the story of which was written by William Patterson White. Included in this programme are Topical Cartoon and a tworeel .Sunshine comedy “Pardon Me.” The prices are advertised as usual.
