ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. MB. FRED COLLIE?. TO-XIGHT. To-night, at. Everybody'?. Theatre, in ■addition to a very strong picture pro■gramme, the enterprising management have much pleasure in announcing that l they iiavo secured the services ot tts well-laiown Australian baritone, Mr. Fred Collier. Mr. Collier has a very bi/j reputation in Australia,, and hag jnA completed a successful season of eight concerts in the Sydney Town Hall, at the last of which 2500 people paid for admission- This popular artist is one of the few Australians who have had the distinction of appearing on the same .platform as the worl.l-famed diva, .Madam Melba. Among the items to be given to-night are the news songs. "Stick It," by Barker; "Smuggler's Song," by Mulliner, v-'ords by Eudyard Kipling; "Be Brave and Smile" (Pepper); "Wait." and ''When- the Drtam is There," by D'Jlardeloi There will be no increase in usual prices,, ibut patrons shoii'd be. sure and. reserve their sejit§ at Collier's. Music Warehouse, to avoid di&appointment. The -. picture- programme arranged' to support Mr.. Collier is headed 'by a G-old-wyn comedy drama, "Nearly Married,"' in which- the chief part: is played by Madge Kennedy, the mimi'taMo little: comedienne of "Baby Mine"' fameTHE EMPIRE. LAST NIGHT 03? "THE. FR AME UP'" Big' Bill. Russell' proved; that lie has< not been gifted witli great physical power.' and considerable "striking" ability for. nothing in the big Mutual drama "TheFrame Up" at The Empire last night.. He gets mixed in a whirl of American, deals, and often has only one opening, and that is to fight his way out. That he gets out is due to the fact that ho possesses the necessary determination and strength to . assist him. The story is full of interest and strikes an original theme which is certain to please all sections of motion picture patrons. The sixth episode of "Tjhe Great Secret" ia also showing on this programme, which concludes to-night. TO-MORROW "THE FIRE-FLY CF TOUGH LUCK" Alma Reubens stars to-morrow and Thursday in a Triangle Western drama that will prove an eye-opener to even hardened picture-goers. It introduces some of the most sensational and thrilling feats peculiar to the wild West. The hardened movie fan will say it's impossible to get anything new in Western sensations. Well, let them see "The Firefly of Tough Luck" and they will Vote it even better: than "The Flame of the* Yukon." '
