ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE EMPIRE. "A KENTUCKY CINDERELLA." A bright sparkling Blue-bird feature entitled "A Kentucky Cinderella," was the principle attraction on the new programme at the Empire last night. This picture mixes the East and West in a most pleasing manner, indeed the western scenes are some of the best yet seen in motion picture drama. There is a capital love story and much healthy amusement is caused by the antics of the little nigger kiddies when the scenes efhift to Kentucky. little Zoe Kay, Harry Carter and Ruth Clifford have the leading parts in this fine picture story which will be repeated to-night.

EVERYBODY'S. THE FIRST BIG "GOLDWYN" PICTURE TO-NIGHT. "POLLY OF THE CIRCUS." That fascinating little celebrity, Mae Marsh, is the star of the great Goldwyn production, "Polly of the Circus," to be screened at Everybody's to-night and to-morrow. This is a tremendous .spectacle with a beautiful story run- ' ning through it. Probably no film can command such a wide range of appeal, since it will he as delightful to children, on account of the actual circus displays which it; reproduces, as it will be fascinating to adults by reason of the compelling heart interest and thrilling episodes. Polly, left motherless, is reared by an old clown named Toby as a circus girl. During one of litr daring bare-backed stunts she lias a fall jind is left behind in a small town. When (she is better sihe returns to the circus. One of the most amazing scenes is the burning of the big circus tent und the stampede of the audience, while the racecourse scene, where Polly, holds the audience breathless. In this great drama Mae Marsh more than lives up to the reputation she made in "Intolerance." This picture starts an entirely new era in motion pictures and will delight and at the same moment astound picture goers by the magnificent effect of every department of the production. There —a special matinee to-morrow afternoon at special matinee prices. Adults 6d and la, and children 3d.
