ENTERTAINMENTS.

—■ -m I, THE EMPIRE, VIOLA DANA IN "A WEAVER OP DREAMS." MATINEE AND TO-NIGHT Dainty little Viola Dana stars at both sessions at the Empire to-day in the Metro picture-play "A Weaver of Dreams." This is a wholly delightful picture story, of very human people wifh one or two sweetly beautiful characters. It will please both young and old by its simplicity and moral worth. To-night will be the final screening. The fourteenth episode of "A Lass of the Lumberlands'' also shows on this programme and as this picture has only one more episode to run its interest is now at fever heat. COMING MONDAY. MAE MARSH IN "FIELDS OF HONOR'"

Commencing on Monday the chief attraction will be another of the famous "Goldwyn" features "Fields of Honor" starring the popular little celebrity, Mae Marsh. In this picture the popular star shows all her rare charm and wistful ■tenderness, while the tale is one of the ijUtißost beauty and consistency, ■i ~~ /EVERYBODY'S. JUNE ELVIDGE AND CARLYLE BLACKWELL. "THE MARRIAGE MARKET." "Ttae Marriage Market." a world feature screening at Everybody's to-night contains a powerful indictment of marriages for money. June Elvidge and Carlyle Blackwell have tho leading roles while Arthur Ashley has a prominent part as the man who bought a wife in the same manner that he migiht have purchased a horse or a dog. June Elvklge and Carlyle Blackwell are lovers who are engaged to each other but June learns that her father is on the point of ruin and disgrace. To save him and .obtain a certain amount of money which he must raise she marries a rich profligate only to find immediately after that her father, unaware of her sacrifice, has committed suicide. Then foTiow days of despair culminating in an attempt on ier part to make herself financially independent of her unendurable husband. The result is a murder to which Blackwell pleads guilty because he believes that Juue has fired the shot that killed Foxhall to whom she wanted to sell her horse and who surprised her by a dishonorable proposal. The climax conies during a very thrilling court scerfe. The setting is perfectly done and some fine dresses form an attractive feature from ■the female point of view. The story altogether is tense and has a strong heartappeal. There are some excellent subjects in support.
