ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. MAE MARSH IK "THE GLORIOUS ADVENTURE." Goldwyn's latest feature starring Mae Marsh, and showing at Everybody's tonight and to-morrow, as "The Glorious Adventure," from the novel by Edith Barnard Delano called "When Carey Comes to Town." A delightfully naive and fresh story of a little girl from an old world town, set in an atmosphere of past customs and dresses. Left alone in the world she sets out on her great adventure in search of happiness. How she finds it through the medium of helping others is shown in a production of real merit, artistically developed. Wyndham 'Standing, as the millionaire millowner, renders adequate support to the winsome little star, and Alec Francis appears in a lovable role. A piquant tone to the story is provided in the girl's defying convention, through innate simplicity. There are some excellent supporting pictures. THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF WALLACE REID. Wallace Reid achieves the best characterisation of his brilliant career in "The Man from Funeral Range," the dramatic story of a man who shouldered the blame for a murder of which he was screening finally to-night at the People's. Charming Anna Little plays the part of the girl. Funeral Range was where the living went to hide. When the trouble was over they emerged changed men in everything from appearance to name. The final episode of "The Eagle's Eye" and Burton Holmes are aiso shown.

Fatty Arbuckle, the record lun-nmker, appears to-morrow in his big super comedy "The Sheriff," in which he outdoes 'Bill Hart and out-stunts Doug. Fairbanks. As Tatty is loved by the kiddies a special matinee will commence on Thursday at 3.30 p.m. THE DANDIES. On Saturday evening the Umpire Theatre was crowded by a delighted audience to witness the second performance by the above talented and versatile company. The programme of the previous evening was repeated, and all the items again met with deserved appreciation. Probably the most pleasing was the concerted work, the chorus from the opera Faust by six voices being vociferously redemanded. The male quartette was also exceptionally good, the blending of voices being particularly pleasing. Miss Knight and Mr. Miller, in their duet, "Keys of Heaven," also hit the popular taste, whilst the balance of the entertainment, whether it was solo items by Misses Andrews or Graham, or Mr. Miller, and the playing of the 'cellist, Mr. Monkmm; all merited the recalls secured. To-night the management annotate; a complete change of programme.
