ENTERTAINMENTS.

LAST NIGHT OF FLORENCE REED IN "TO-DAY."

The new photo-play attraction entitled "To-day," which was screened at Everybody's last night is a remarkable and daring super-film. The theme, very finely interpreted by a strong cait headed by that well-known artist of the stage and screen, Mi.-'s Florence Reed, is one that is full of powerful drama tic incidents, and so well presented n.s to enchain the attention of the audience from sart to finish. A foolish emptyheaded wife, lured hy the attractions of high life in New York, and the hardworking husband, striving to stave off the ruin that he can see coming, forms the groundwork of "To-day" and its . happy Wending of dramatic incident and iriany thrilling situations with tears and happiness, has probably made this film the big success it has proved to he wherever presented. "To-day" receives its last screening to-night and it's a picture no regular patron can afford to | miss.

THE PEOPLES'. LAST NIGHT OF "SCANDAL." Screening finally to-night at the Peoples' is "Scandal," which is a oneword leading line for a very entertaining little romance. A wilful woman and a determined man are "up against" each other, and the lady, the spoiled darling of proud parents, fodly believes that her whims will he tolerated by the gotleman. They are not, and that is the foundation of the whole wholesome tale. Constance Talraadge is the heroine of the film, which is beautifully set and dressed. A fine comedy, gazette and travelog of Sweden are also on the bill. To-morrow Theda Bara commences in the big Fox Standa rd production, "Camille."
