ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “HAIL THE WOMAN” TO-NIGHT. A.great motion picture is presented here, in which magnificent tribute is paid to womanhood. It visualises the new position of the woman. It pictures her conquest over everyday economic conditions. It is a drama of “just folks,” for the characters might be you, your son, your daughter or your mother. It is not a political preachment, nor a sermon on morality—just a human drama of life. It is a gripping story of real people for real people —it is the solution of the much-debated question: “What does the public mean by a good picture ?” It has a cast of unequalled genius ap<l brilliance in roles that appeal through breathless action—it is built on a theme that arouses the deepest sentiments in the human heart—it plays upon the weakness of some—offset by the tremendous strength of character of others—it invites discussion and controversy of the kind that makes people flock to theatres to test their views and principles—it has its serious side and its lighter moods —its smiles amidst tears—it is different. “Hail the Woman” is the greatest drama on the screen. The screening nights are tonight and to-morrow at Everybody’s and seats for either night can be reserved at Colliers. In response' to numerous requests the management have arranged for a matinee screening of “Hail the Woman” to commence at • 2.30 tomorrow. Special reduced prices are announced for the matinee. THE PEOPLE’S. COMMUNITY SING TO-NIGHT. Screening finally to-night at the People’s is the Selznick production, “Seeds of Vengeance,” starring Bernard Burning. It is a story of a boy’s promise to his dying father and its ultimate carrying out, of a great love and a great hate among real mountain people of simple hearts and primitive instincts. The photography is excellent, as also is the scenery, while the story itself will lift you to a pitch of the wildest enthusiasm. Episode 13 of “Thunderbolt Jack” screens for the last time tonight and Mr. Abel Rowe will lead a real joyous community sing. This is the last opportunity New Plymouth theatregoers will have of hearing Mr. Rowe. The prices are: D.C. 1/6, Stalls 1/-.
