ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. BILL HART IN "THE APOSTLE OF VENGEANCE." The chief attraction at Everybody's to-night and to-morrow is the starring of big Bill Hart in a new role in "The Apostle of Vengeance," where he appears as a parson, incidentally the eldes.t son of a mountain family who share the honors of a feud with another family near by. A murder having been committed under the guise of this vendetta. Bill is sent for to avenge the wrong done. When he arrives instead of taking off his coat and getting into it, he preaches the gospel of peace at all price. This does not appeal to the bloodthirsty members of his family and they shoo him off the premises at the point of the rifle, making their disappointment in him clearly understood by such opprobrious epithets at "Chicken-hearted gospel slinger." Bill leaves it all and retires to the quiet life up the mountainside. However, his sister is brutally attacked by one of the opposing faction, and Bill finds that he can' see red, and goes after him \yith his bare hands. How he finally deals out what is deserved makes a virile and appealing ending, and he is at last successful in reconciling the parties to the hereditary scrap. The supporting pictures include another episode of that gripping serial picture, "The House of Hate."

THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OP WALLACE REID. The popular and handsome Wallace Reid supported by Anna Little in the fins Paramount play, "Less than Kin," appears finally to-night at the People's. The splendid supporting programme includes a Mack Sennett comedy, "The Railroad Raiders," Burton Holmes Travelog and gazette.
