ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. ; "THE SECRET OF THE STORM I COUNTRY TO-NIGHT." One of the most pleasing and popular j motion pictures over introduced into this country was "Tess of the Storm. Country," from the book of the same name by Grace Miller White. Mary ford played the part of "Tesa" am! regis- j tcred the greatest success of her career in the lovable part of the wild little mountain girl. So great was the success of the first book that the author continued the life of "Teas" in a sequel entitled, "The Secret of the Storm Country." This has now been adapted into motion pictures by the Select Company with Norma Talmadge, the beautiful heroine of a thousand emotions, to personate dear, simple, lovable Tess, the girl who was not treated fairly and yet held on to what she held dearest of all, achieving happiness.*"The Secret of the Storm Country" is the story of how a care-free, happy girl of the hills became an outcast. She was expelled from the Church, and the man she had most cause to look to for protection was against her. So she became a pariah, but about her was a secret. The name of a ruffian was linked with hers, and there were great moments of pathos and beauty before the truth became apparent. The aim is really good, for it has a story that, keeps the interest tense all the time. "The Secret of the Storm Country" shows at Everybody's to-night and to-morrow night only. Seats may now be reserved at Collier's.'
