ENTERTAINMENTS.
EVERYBODY'S. HAZEL DAWN IN "THE SALESLADY." Hazel Dawn stars in a famous Players feature, "The Saleslady," at Everybodys to-night and to-morrow night, and also at the matinee to-morrow afternoon. The bewitching, Hazel is by no means a stranger to local movie followers, who will be thoroughly delighted with both the story and the star's interpretation of the principal role It is the story of a girl reared in the lap of luxuxry and then thrown on a deci3e,djy cold world penniless. There is much of romance and a lot of pathos, mingled with quaint humor, in the story of her struggle, which includes the marrying of a millionaire's son, (who is disinherited for doing so), and her final strategic capture of, th» bloated magnate himself.
