ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. The star supporting the second series of "The Neglected Wife," which commences to-day at Everybody's, is a Brady-Worlil film masterplay entitled : A Woman Alone,'' which features Alice Brady, Arthur Ashley and Edward Lanjford. Loneliness of a newly mar.ried woman, and its supreme danger is the main theme of this fine story. Nellie, the heroine, marries her lover when he gets his first position as telegraphist in charge of a station, and goes with him to the wayside office. After a while, the appalling loneliness of the place palls upon her, and becomes almost unbearable. Then, there arrives at the dreary spot, the idle and profligate son of the railway magnate. His fancy is taken by the pretty little bride and trouble soon commences. Her husband come 3 upon the pair, and imagines that both are guilty and a terrible scene takes place. Edward Langford is the hero, and Arthur Ashley, as usual with the World dramas, is the villain, a role in this case, a masterpiece of delineation. The working out of the story is boldly original, and full of surprises. It is remarkable for some unique views of country life and surroundings and clever flashes of railway life. The story is by Willard Mack, the clever husband of Pauline Frederick.

THE EMPIRE. To-day at 2 p.m. and again to-night at eight, picture goers will have the last opportunity of witnessing popular little Viola Dana in her latest Metro wonderplav, "The Mortal Sin," a powerful dramatic melodrama which delighted a large audience last night. The story is produced in Metro's finished style and the emotional acting of Miss Dana is wonderful. "The Mortal Sin" can easily be classed as her best work yet seen locally. When taking Miss Dana's age into consideration, her screen ability is all the more remarkable for one so young. Supporting the big drama are films of a lighter nature which include "His Flirty Ways" (Christie comedy), "Co-op. Weekly War News", and "Her Obsession" (comedy). "THE REGENERATES"—MONDAY Monday's change will be headed by a new Triangle five-reeler, under the title of "The Regenerates," a forceful story in which the beautiful actress, Alma Reubens makes a big success. Her dresses, too, will be of interest to alt fashion followers. The story is full of surprises and the settings are a triumph for even the Triangle studios.
