ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. 1 Hope Hampton, in her latest production, “Love’s Penalty,” stars this afternoon and to-night at Everybody’s. The production is one that has created the most favorable sort of comment from, critics who have viewed it, and it gives the beautiful young actress a far more dramatic role than any she has been accorded in previous productions. In “Love’s Penalty” she plays the part of the innocent cause of the human tragedy around which the play revolves, by marrying the man who has pledged himself to another. Jhe role of her husband is taken by Percy Marmont. The supports include a Sherlock Holmes tworeeler, “The Man With the Twisted Lip,” “Winners of the West,” and Gaumont Graphic.” ON MONDAY—CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN “IDLE CLASS.” Charlie Chaplin’s latest comedy success “Idle Class” will be one of the features of a big special programme at Everybody’s on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In l this comedy the onlooker sees Charlie I twice—“ Him” and “Himself.” First he’s a golfing hobo, with more fancy strok" t than Kirkwood ever knew, and more ways of getting a ball than a red-headed caddy. That’s “Himself.” Then he’s a millionaire hubby in love with a cocktail shaker instead of his wife. That’s “Him.” But when “Him” finds “Himself” telling a wonderful tale to “Hirn’s” own wife—well, the result can only be appreciated by viewing the film. It’s a riot of fun from the first tee to the time they undress him with a can-opener. The second big attraction is the record success from an English producer, “Squibs.” By the same makers as “Alf’s Button” and “The Better Ole," “Squibs” is said to be as funny as the two previous pictures rolled together. Right throughout the country it is having enormous success and breaking the receipts records right along the line. Seats for any night of the season can now be reserved at Collier’s.

THE PEOPLE’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. Irvin V. Willat’s great Selznick production, “The Face of the World,” screens to-day and to-night at the People’s. The keynote of the production is said to be variety. One thrill rushes upon the heels of another, from the wrecking of a motorcar to the burning of an entire hospital, and from the battlefields of France to the devastation of Russia, and, with the final scene, the audience find themselves again in the scenic grandeur of the snow•ccvered hills surrounding the little cottage where the story begins. “The Face of the World,” which is adapted from the great novel of the same name by Jehan Bojer, will furnish entertainment of the highest, order for every type of theatregoer. The supporting films include the seventh episode ’of “The. Blue Fox,” comedy, and topicals. The above programme screens at the usual prices.

WEST END GALA DAY.

For some weeks past the children of the West End School have been untiring in preparations for the annual gala day, which is to be held at Kawaroad Park on Saturday next. Keen interest is being evinced in the function, which promises to be even more successful than its predecessors. It offers a splendid chance to the public to enjoy a pleasant afternoon after the turmoil of the election campaign. A special feature will be the appearance of the

New Plymouth Pipe Rand There will also, be displays by children, as well as children's sports, whilst, great preparations have been made as regards stocking the stalls and arranging side t-hows. The teachers and children are being assisted by the Kawaroa Park C-owmitt.ee, which, under the presidency of Mr. Beal, is throwing itself wholeheartedly into the work. The catering will be controlled by the Kawaroa Park Ladies’ Committee, a guarantee that it will be of a high standard.
