ENTERTAINMENTS.

A RARE FEATURE AT EVERYBODY'S TO-NIGHT. Anita Stewart and Charles Eichman in "The More Excellent Way," a Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature delighted a large audience at Everybody's last evening. The story is a powerful one from the able pen of Cyrus Townsend Brady. It. concerns the eternal triangle—two men loved her—one a man of forty—a great operator of the stock exchange—distinguished and able. The other a weakling—a youth of high birth and" winning personality—but a slave to whiskey. Her heart chooses the boy, but duty and honor intervene and she marries the man of iron will and self control. Then comes the crash and disillusionment—she repents. How the light of realisation pierces her path—how she saw the weakness of the iboy and how her own fickleness is contrasted with the sincerity of her husband—makes for a wonderfully dramatic photoplay, blended with a combination of Rtrong qualities that carry an abundance of super-inter-est and conviction. Supporting this fine feature is a two-reel Keystone comedy, 'Her Fame of iShamc," "Rex Beach's Travelogue," and the Weekly War Budget. The same programme will Be repeated again to-night and to-morrow night. A BOOM PROGRAMME AT THE EMPIRE TO-NIGHT. GEORGE WALSH IN "MELTING MILLIONS." What is described as a big boom programme will commence a three-night season at the Empire Theatre to-night. One of the principle features is "Melting Millions," a Fox comedy-drama in which George Walsh and Anna Luther are cast in the leading roles. "Jliss Luther will be remembered for her splendid acting with George Walsh in the earlier Fox picture, "The Beast." George himself will not soon be forgotten after his greatportrayal in "The Beast," and more recently in "The Mediator." ''Melting Millions" is not like either of the previous pictures but is better than the two rolled together. George is a millionaire who starts out to make the money fly, aud when he starts out to do anything, something usually happens, hence the title "Molting Millions." Whoever misses this picture will have only one regret, that will be a lasting one for life. On the same programme there is a fine Metro drama, "Lady Barnacle." ij\ which the favorite little h<ly, Viola Dana takes the lead, and this; selection will slso include the* fifteenth and final episode of the popular serial. "The Secret of the Submarine." Owing to the length of the programme patrons ate requested to note, that the first picture will commence at 7.4f> sharp,
