ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. SPECIAL MATINIEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. Mothers who want a couple of clear hours to do a little Christmas shopping have a good opportunity this afternoon by leaving the kiddies at Everybody’s where there will be a special matinee programme, starring the prince of funmakers, Harold Lloyd in a four-reel comedy scream, “A Tailor-Made Man.” There will also !be a two-reel comedy “What Next,” a Burton Holmes’ travel film ‘‘(Round About 'London,” and a Topical Gazette included on the programme. The prices of admission will be as usual for adults and sixpence for children. Evening patrons are reminded that “A Tailor-Made Man” screens for the last time to-night. There wifi be a complete change of pictures tomorrow supporting the starring engagement of Daisy Jerome. DAISY JEROME. After a most successful tour of Australia and the four centres of New Zealand, Daisy Jerome has been persuaded to take a tour of the prominent towns of the Dominion prior to her departure for London and America. Theatregoers of this town are indeed fortunate in having this opportunity of_ hearing this talented comedienne at Everybody’s Theatre to-morrow and Saturday. The New York Times cojnments as follows on her performance:—“With the possible exception of Vesta Tilley, and maybe Alice Lloyd, the cleverest comedienne England has ever loaned us via vaudeville is Daisy Jerome, headlining at Pantagos Theatre this week. She is a gorgeous creature, flame-like and radiant, with captivating smile and a magnetic personality that reaches to the furthermost seats in the gallery of that home of vaudeville. Whether she sings or is waiting for the next verse, she marches rapidly up and down, generating an amazing force of energy and transmitting it to the audience. She truly electrifies. Her hair is a wonderful red, she is lithe and picturesque, and she reminds one of Ina Claire and Alice Lloyd. Her songs are new and smartly done. Daisy Jerome is making her first visit to the United States, and England s music hall loss is distinctly American vaudeville’s gain. An interesting woman plays the piano accompaniments for Miss Jerome, in a full stage setting. If you care for English comediennes —and who doesn’t—you’ll love the fascinating, effervescent, bubbling Daisy.” The season is limited here to two nights and those desirous of seeing this great vaudeville star would be well advised to book their seats at Collier's, where the plan is now open. The New Zealand tour is under the direction of Air. A. Moss. ’the People’s. “WAITING FOR DAWN” TO-NIGHT. The continental classic film “Waiting for Dawn” opens a two-night season at the People’s to-night. It is a picturisation of Jules Verne’s celebrated novel “Mathias Sandorf.’ This particular film is obviously foreign (French, presumably), and is also intensely dramatic, albeit the story is good, being founded on a well-read tale by Jules Verne. Briefly, it telle of the perfidy of two men who send three others into exile in order that the wealth of the latter individuals might revert to themselves. Two die, but Sandorf is left to wait, Nemesis-like, for fifteen years before retribution is brought to those who had wronged him and his associates. The picture offers a change from the usual American productions, inasmuch us the characters are all new, and the various scenes entirely different to what we have been accustomed to. “Waiting for Dawn” is said to contain wonderful harem scenes, oriental dances, tropical gardens, beautiful palaces and a real galaxy of beautiful women. The prices of admission for this superb drama are advertised as usual.

OPIEN-AIR CONCERT. The New Plymouth Sports Committee, with the kind assistance of a number of our leading musicians, have arranged a first-class musical programme for the open-air concert to be held in Pukekura Park on Christmas night. A staging, which will be roofed over with a sounding board, is being erected on the Poet’s Bridge for these performers, so that the voices should carry across the waters, of the lake, and be distinctly heard in all parts of the ground. ' It will be remembered that the Sports Committee held two of these concerts in the park last year, both of which were very successful, and by the complete arrangements that have been made for the function on Christmas night it is hoped this concert will be equally successful.
