ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. TOM MOORE IN "THIRTY A WEEK." A handsome chauffeur, working on a small salary, and a beautiful girl, who made him forget all about the high cost of living and loving, is the theme round which "Thirty a Week," at Everybody's to-night, revolves. It is full of beautiful settings, a thrilling race, and situations rich with Irish humor. Miss Tallulah Bankhead, an Alabama society girl, is in the lead. Dan Murray (Tom Moore) is only a chauffeur, but Barbara Wright, daughter of his employer, knows him to be better than the men of her own sphere, and elopes with him, despite arrangements her parents have made to marry her to Freddy Ruytcr, a wealthy individual. Learning of the marriage, Barbara's father plans to have it annulled, and Ruyter creates discord between the two, but Dan eventually wins out with Barbara. There are some excellent supporting pictures.

THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF BOX HART.' William S. Hart Should draw another big., house this, evening on the occasion of his final appearance in the fine Artcraft feature, "Selfish Yates."
