ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. JACKIE COOGAN MATINEE 3.30 TO-DAY. The loveable youngster, Jackie Coogan, in his latest picture ‘My Boy,” will be featured at a special matinee this afternoon and again for the last time to-night. The delightful Jackie needs no introduction, for his characterisations in “The Kid,” and in “Peck’s Bad Boy,” have already fixed him firmly in the hearts of the big picture public. The present story was specially written for him, and there is no reason to doubt that the picture will prove to be anything else than in the first flight. “My Boy” relates the story of the adventures of an extremely youthful immigrant; his father was killed in France, and his mother died on the boat that was taking them to America—to them the land of opportunity. Landing in New York, the little fellow experiences quite a heap of trouble before he findis that joy and happiness which is his birthright. The production is said to draw hundreds of smiles, many hearty laughs z with an occasional tear, and gives this clever boy every opportunity to show’ hie many-sided character and his undeniable cleverness. Supporting “My Boy” there is the usual Gazette and a new Snooky comedy, “Snooky’s Frosh Heir,” a clever arid laughable picture. The final screening is announced for to-night. “THE -STORM’ TO-MORROW. A picture that is becoming mare famous day by day is the Universal Jewel super masterpiece “The Storm.” which will commence a three nights’ local season at Everybody’s to-morrow. “The Storm” is aided by the most beautiful effects ever utilised in picture production. They realistically put over the vivid suggestions of all the climaxes of the picture itself. One wonders where the artistry of the camera will end after seeing the gorgeous coloring of the still blue lake in the snow capped Canadian Rockies. The coming of evening, the flush of multi-colored dawn, the gathering of storm clouds, the swift rush of turbulent waters, the enveloping tongues of red flame licking at the huge trunks of forest monarchs, this together with the unusual story and its universally pleasing and unusual climax goes to make “The Storm” the outstanding picture of the year. Seats for a n y night of the season can now be booked at Collier’s. THE PEOPLE’S. “SATURDAY NIGHT” TO-NIGHT. New York life, its pleasures, its pains, its thousand alluring varieties are all to be seen in the Paramount special fl-reel feature “Saturday ‘Night,’’ which screens at the People s to-night. The story deals with people at cross purposes with each other. Tris van Suydan. a society girl of wealthy parents, is engaged to a rich young man, but would rather marry a poor man. Dick Prentiss, to whom Iris van Suydan is engaged, would like to marry the beautiful daughter of a washerwoman. Shamrock O’Day’s (the daughter of the washerwoman) ideals of the matrimonial estate lie along the paths of some young millionaire. Tom McGuire, the chauffeur of Iris, to whom sentiment is everything, has fallen desperately in love with his mistress. The problem naturally resolves itself into the question what is each one to do in the matter. How Fate, which is ever uncertain, determined that each dream shall be realised, takes a hand in the game makes one of the world’s greattest kinema achievements yet presented to the New Plymouth public. Included in the cast are such well-known players as Leatrice Joy, Julia Foye, Jack Mower, and the veteran character actor Theodore Roberts. Seats may now be reserved at Collier’s.
