ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE FOUR HORSEMEN.” It is safe to say that no picture lias caused a greater stir among “movie ’ enthusiasts than the Metro Company s production of Vicente Ibanez’s sensation! novel “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse*” now being shown at Everybody’s. Never before has there been seen together in one picture a more distinguished company of world-famous actors and actresses. The excellence of the acting, combined with the greatness of the theme and the splendor of the production, make “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” one of the greatest pictures ever shown. The verdict of everybody fortunate enough to witness it is a 1 truly wonderful picture, I splendidly acted. It is a long picture —l2 reels—yet it .passes before the spectator from the beginning to its close holding *him deeply enthralled with its great truths, underlying and working through a skilfully woven romance. There is no need to tell the story of it, for that has been the talk of New Plymouth for the past two days. “The Four Horsemen” screens again * tonight and also at a matinee this afternoon at 2.30. Intending patrons to the night session are advised to make sure of a seat by reserving at Collier’s as hundreds have been turned away at each night’s screening so far.

THE PEOPLE’S,

Peter B. Kyne, the famous novelist, is the author of “Kindred of the Dust,” a First National attraction screening finally to-night at the People’s. The story appeared originally in the Saturday Evening Post and then was issued in book form, many editions of which have been sold. One of the strongest casts ever assembled for a single picture enacts the story, including Miss .Miriam Cooper, the talented actress whose work in “The Oath” and other recent First National productions will be well remembered. Miss Cooper plays the part of ‘‘Nan of the Sawdust Pile, a little maid to whom fates have been unkind, but who, through many vicissitudes, manages to find the happiness for which her starving soul was hourly craving. As Dohald McKaye, son of the owner of the largest saw mill in the Northwest, Ralph Graves gives a particularly effective characterisation. Red-blooded adventure is the motive of the story, intermingled with romance of a delightful type. The final screening is announced for to-night.
