ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "THE MEDICINE MAN." Roy Stewart is the ideal type for the rough but good hearted westerner, who is every inch a man. He has a part which suits him to perfection in the Triangle drama, "The Medicine Man," showing finally at Everybody's to-night. There are some splendidly realistic fights in this picture, in which Roy Stewart foils two determined villains and wins a sweet wife into the bargain.

*i - THE PEOPLE'S. "Opportunity," with the winsome ami inimitable Viola Dana in one of the most captivating roles she has ever had, opens to-night at the People's theatre. This latest of Miss Dana's Metro plays is a clever picturisation of Edg'ftr Franklyn's popular story of the same name that appeared, in the All-Story Weekly. Tt was seenarioized and directed by John H. Collins, who guided this ingratiating little star in Screen Classics Inc.'s famous "Blue Jeans." The story of ''Opportunity" centres 'around the adventures of Mary Willard, a tomboy whose eagerness to see a big | prize fight involves her in many amusing and undreamed of difficulties. "Opportunity" is breezy and boyish, whimsical and mirth-provoking, and a good supporting programme includes gazette, comedy and travelog.
