ENTERTAINMENTS.

LAST NIGHT OF "WOMAN." The infinite care and patience which goes into a motion picture production is exemplified by a remarkable instance of painstaking attention to detail in the making of Maurice Toiimeur's "Woman," showing-finally to-night at Everybody's. One of the episodes of "Woman," which depicts the feminine influence through the ages, presents the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve and the more or less well known serpent as the principals. It is a drama of psychology and sex analysis, daring in its treatment. The productions indicate I the versatility and amazing resourcefulness of Tourneur. In the novelty of its subject, the composition of its scenes, and the exquisito artistry with which the plot is unfolded the picture is creating much laudatory comment. THE PEOPLE'S. '< The latest Artcraft production, starring Douglas Fairbanks—"Reaching For the Moon"—opens at the People's tonight. This picture presents Doug, in an extremely humorous and fascinating •role. He has the part of a youth, working in a button factory, whose ambition leads him into some thrilling escapes. Throughout the entire production the Fairbanks smile and stunts are always prpminent, and it is quite safe to say that "Reaching For the Moon" is one of Fairbanks' best pieces to date, and is full of fun and frolic. The story embodies a good moral lesson, and shows just how far a person can obtain their desire by concentration. The characters introduced into this picture are many, and ail fit their various parts as though made for them.
