ENTERTAINMENTS

HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Largo audiences are attending His Majesty's Theatre nightly, and Hiss Madge Maitland is enthusiastically welcomed and encored at every appearance, With her Irish and Yiddisher songs and American-Irish brogue Miss Maitland captivates her audiences from tho start. Mr. H. _ Little, a baritone with a good, full voice, sings entertainingly, and is well received. A number of other star items are also on the programme, and include Miss K. Clinton, a emartlyfrocked comedienne; Del "Baity ana his little terrier; and Clark and Wallace, dancers and singers—all 'well worth seeing. THE KING'S. Douglas Fairbanks, in "His Picture in the Papers," will be screened for the Jast time to-night. To-morrow there will be a special matinee for children, showing- a "Trip to the London Zoo." Also, at this matinee, ,there will bo the first screening of tho New World Film feature, _"Tho Feast of Life," in which Clara Kimball, Young is featured, with Paul Capellani' and Doris Kenyon. It is a deep story of a pure, beautiful Cuban girl, who is persuaded against her will to become betrothed to Don Armada, a wealthy Cuban. She loves Pedro,' a young fisherman, who lives with her uncle, Father Vantura, and Celida, who has been secretly stealing to Don Armada's villa, but who is cast off by him on his engagement to Aurora. The story is beautifully developed until the real lovers come to their own.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "The Stepping-Stone," a stirring Triangle drama, featuring Frank Keenan and Mary Boland, also the great Keystone comedy, "The Waiters' Ball," with Roscoe Arbuckle in the leading role, will be withdrawn from Theatre after to-night. Another big 'double bill will be presented at the change of programme to-morrow, when Charles Chaplin will appear in his latest success, "Police/" _ Chaplin is said to be at his best in this picture. Another star feature is "Maoiste," which is unique in many ways, and provides now situations. It 6ets forth' a melodrama of tense power, ilnd presents opportunities for the display of feats of strength of an unusual and sfriking kind. The 6tory deals with a girl who is the victim of an uncle's plot to dispossess 'her of her right to property. She is persecuted by his hired orimlnals, and in despair she appeals to Maciste, the athlete-who took the part of the giant slave in the great photo-play, "Caberia." There are some very sensational scenes in this wonderful production. The final scene shows tho manner.in which Macisto saves his own life by walking up two walls— his hands on one wnll-faco and his feet on the other.

MARY PICKFORD AS "TESS." "Tess. o£ the Storm Country," with popular Mary Pickford as Tess, will bo shown for the last time nt the Empress Theatre to-night.. To-morrow a big double bill will be offered. Charles Chaplin will be the star attraction in' the laughing absurdity "Police." fho most extraordinarily comic situations occur in the farce, 'and the spectators are kept in an uproarious state all tho time. In strong contrast will be shown "Woman's Law," said to be an intensely gripping melodrama, in which tho story of a woman fighting for tho name of her son is shown. The play is MOO feet long.
