ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "BILL" HART IN "THE APOSTLE OF VENGEANCE, In portraying ,the emotions of a strong man, who has elected to live the quiet life prescribed by the Church, and who feels the call of red blood pulsating strongly in his veins, William S. Hart gives a fine presentation in "The Apostl* of Vengeance." His haTd old face seems specially suited to emotional scenes, and he arouseß great sympathy for the parson who wants to be a man as well and deal out retribution per medium of fisticuffs. The story deals with one of these family vendettas so common in the mountains of America, and the incident which causes him to execute a somersault in his beliefs' is a stirring and tragic happening which would give any man food for thought. This programme also includes the tenth episode of "The House of Hate," and shows finally tonight.

THE PEOPLE'S. HAROLD LOCKWOOD TO-NIGHT. Harold Lockwood plays a dual role in "Lend Me Your Name," the Metro allstar series picture at the People's tonight. "Lend Me Your Name" is a farce comedy and the story begins when the Earl of Gilleigh is advised of the coming from Europe of his domineering wife, Sophronia, and to escape her he arranges to trade identities with his double, Warren Ellis, a Becond story man. The complications start with the arrival of Sophronia and are further developed when the Earl and his double meet the same girl, Rosalind, who is played by the Star's leading lady, Pauline Curley- As the Earl is married and Ellis is single, the manner of each towards the girl is widely contrasted, and general confusion results.
