ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. Herbert Rawlinson’s athletic ability and smiling personality mark him as the ideal star in the Universal production, “The Man .Under Cover,” which screens for the last time to-night at the People’s. The story of “The Man Under Cover” concerns a young man, driven from home by suspicion, who travels the wide toorld over and makes his berth by easy methods. Then he returns to the old home town after serving time in the “big house,” and decides to go straight. Right then Fate hands him a facer in the form of a situation in which he has to be crooked to beat crooks at their own game and save all the townsfolk their money! Barbara Bedford plays opposite the star in a charming portrayal. The supporting films are excellent, and the prices of admission are advertised as usual. EVERYBODY’S. “LOVE, HONOR AND BEHAVE.” To-night’s attraction at Everybody’s is “Love, Honor and Behave,” a Mack Sennett comedy from First National studios, starring the popular Sennett team, Charles, Murray, Phyllis Haver, Ford Sterling, Marie Prevost, Eddie Gribbon and others. This feature is not a loose-jointed assemblage of “gags,” stunts and “chases,” but a legitimate story from which arise many comedy situations, such as Mack Sennett only can make. The producer has avoided the monotony of mirth by the injection ol legitimate appeal, human interest and thrills. The other feature on the big bill is “The Yellow Face,” the next of the Sherlock Holmes series. It is a further account of the adventures of the famous detective of fiction, whose exploits as chronicled by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are so world-known. Supporting the two special features is the fifth episode of “Winners of the West,” the Gaumont Graphic, and Topical Budget. There will be a matinee tomorrow, at 2 p.m. SCOTCH CONCERT. Particulars will be found in our amusements column of the Scotch concert in aid of the local Pipe Band funds, to be held in the Empire Theatre next Tuesday. The organiser has been fortunate in securing the services of Jean and Thelma McKenzie, of ‘Wellington, champion highland dancers of the Dominion and present holders of the Auckland, Wellington and Otago provincial championships, and the opportunity of seeing these clever dancers should not be missed. Scottish songs will be rendered by Mrs. Thomson, Misses Harper, Leitch and White; also Messrs. W. L. Hay and Fred Baird. Mr. Taylor will play a cornet solo, and selections will be given by the Male Choir party and Savage Club orchestra. The programme will appear in Saturday’s issue. Popular prices of 3/3 and 2/2 have been ‘fixed, and the plan is at Collier’s. GRAND DANCE RECITAL. A grand dance recital, arranged and directed by Mrs. Edwards, of Hawera, is to be staged at the Empire Theatre, New Plymouth, to-morrow evening. No stone has been left unturned to make the entertainment a success. A special feature will be the dancing of Betty Jacomb and Del Thompson, winners at the Wellington -oompetitions for the last two years, who will contribute the same dances as won them distinction at the competitions. An added attraction will be the singing of Mrs. Jack Goodson, the well-known Hawera vocalist. Attractive ballet dances by Mrs. Edwards’ pupils will form an important part of the programme, and this, together with special dressing and musical effects, is (sufficient in itself to secure a packed theatre to-morrow night. The box plan is now open at Collier’s.
