ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "REAL FOLKS" AND JUNE CAPRICE IN "PATSY." The big audience at Everybody's last evening were treated to one of the moat entertaining selection of pictures possible to procure. The Triangle prize winner, "Real Folks," just took the house by storm and will long live in the memories of last night's patrons as one of tin; most sweetly human stories of real life over produced. It is so sublimely simple and free from thrills of every description that it forces its way right home (o the innermost heart of the onlooker. Any attempt at detailed report of this picture would only detract from the sweet anticipation of those patrons who were not in attendance last evening. The programme also includes another film by the Fox producers entitled "Patsy," which stars popular June Caprice and almost all that has been said about "Real Folks" will also fit this picture. So good are they that no follower of motion picture can afford to miss the last opportunity of viewing this programme to-night. ' THE EMPIRE. OLGA PETROVA'S FIRST SUPERFEATURE. The name of Petrova is symbolic oi high art and she has never done better work than in the first of her own re- , lenses, "The Daughter of Destiny," which commenced a three night season tit the Empire last night. In this picture Madame 'Petrova does the finest work of I her screen career and shows that she did wisely in breaking away from the outside control. "The Daughter of Destiny" is a screen story which throws an interesting light on the subject of morganistie marriages. In this play Mme. Petrova takes the role of Marion | Ashley, who first marries a worthless artist named Join. He is a spy and eventually causes it to be believed that he is dead. Marion then contracts a morganatic marriage with the Prince Leopold, o£ Belmark. The two are passionately fond of each other. The story then" relates the intrigues of another powerful country against Belmark and includes (he dramatic re-appearance of Jorn.
