ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S; JUNE ELVIDGE, MADGE EVANS & JOHNNY HINES TO-NIGHT. "The Power and the Glory" holds pride of place on. the new programme being unspooled at Everybody's to-night and at both sessions ,to-m»rrow. The film is by World, starring June Elvidge, and in support of her are Madge Evans, Frank Mayo, and Johnny Hines. The plot deals with a pure-hearted country girl who was not afraid of the tongues of Iscandal. She dared always to be herself, and when in the mountains to share hia uncertain future. At least, she supposed it was uncertain, but it carried her to a- happiness that was supreme. The story is an idyll of a splendid girl and a noble-hearted man, and it contains some rare scenery. "The Power and the Glory" is the sort of a title that gives good promise for ,the picture to follow. The picture itself justifies in conjunction with the usual variety of musical and picture supports, THE EMPIRE. MARY PICKFORD AS "STELLA ' MARIS." COMMENCING TO-MORROW. "Stella Maris," the big attraction which commences its local season at the Empire matinee to-morrow, is a worthy vehicle for charming Mary Pickford, ,Thu portrayal of two characters, so vastly different, by Mary Pickford, each carrying a powerful appeal, will stand as a mighty and wonderful achievement in screen art. Through' remarkable photography, both characters arc shown on the screen at the same time, and effects are obtained w,hich have never heretofore been successfully attempted. Through an amazing chain of circumstances the two girls—the ugly and wizfaed. orphan, Unity Blake, and the beautiful, angelic Stella Maris—love the same man. Then comes a supremo sacrifice, the giving of Unity Blake's life for the raau she loves and for Stella Maris. Mary Pickford's tremendous drawing power with the public is doubled in this production, as her interpretation of two separate and distinct parts, each one of I stellar proportions, presents her artistry as effectively as if she had appeared in two different photoplavs. The first presentation of "Stella "Maris" will be at 2 p.m. to-morrow and the season will be continued to-morrow night, also Monday and Tuesday. Prices of admission are 2s and Is (plus tax), and patrons may reserve seats a,t Collier's without •W extra charge.

THE PEOPLE'S. "OUR MRS McCHESNEY."
