ENTERTAINMENTS.

LAST NIGHT OF "THE DIAMOND RUNNERS" AT EVERYBODY'S. | "The .Diamond Runners" with Helen Holmes in the lead, proved a popular attraction at Everybody's last night. It is a rattling good story of illicit diamond buying, and shows the wonderful devices of the precious stone smugglers. There are rapid changes of scene from New York to South Africa, and a wonderful shipboard romance, crammed with .plots and counter plots. On the same programme there is a powerful American dram&, "And The Law 'Says," starring Richard Bennett. The full programme will be finally screened to-night. TO-MORROW. Two popular film favorites will appear to-morrow night, William Farnum in the Fox feature, "Fires of Conscience," and Sweet Peggy Hyland in the Greater Yitagraph success, "Babette." LAST NIGHT OF J. WARREN KERRIGAN AND DOROTHY DALTON. AT THE EMPIRE.

Anyone who argues that wanton misconduct should never be shown upon the screen, even if it is punished, should see "The Dark Road" (showing for the last time at the Empire to-night), where a dangerous and seductive siren is shown at her game of running men. The retribution that came upon her is so terrible so complete and frightful, that for once evil seems to be satisfactorily avenged. The photography is a masterpiece. On the same programme Jack Warren Kerrigan delight? with his splendid and manly characterisation of "The Gay Lord Waring," a Blue-Bird drama that is well above the average feature. TO-MORROW OLGA PETRQVA IN "THE SOUL OF A MAGDALEN." In the latest Metro wonderplay "The Soul of a Magdalen" the screen's most beautiful woman. Madam Olga Petrova, tells of a desperate gill's supreme sacrifice, and how she shame to shield another and save her from a, like fate. The picture will be screened for three nights and on the same programme will be the sixth episode of "The Secret of the Submarine," and the fourth of the "Rex Beach Travel Series."
