ENTERTAINMENTS.
EVERYBODY'S. GLORIA SWANSON IN "THE SECRET CODE." The delicate beauty of Gloria Swanson in the Triangle drama, "The Secret Code," is a feature of an absorbing story of spies and their intrigues. As the charming young wife of a Senator (Barney Sherry) who fails to understand her ardent desire to help him in his work, she passes through tribulations due to the machinations of a band of Hun spies, and is falsely accused of unfaithfulness and treason. The revelation of the plot proves her innocence and brings to book the intriguers. The stcvy is convincing, more especially as it is based on actual facts disclosed by secret service investigations, n".d is exceptionally well presented. "The Secret Code"* shows to-night and to-morrow at Everybody's. On the same programme there is a humorous two-reel Bennett Keystone comedy, "Won bv a Fowl," and a Gaumont Graphic.
EMPIRE THEATRE. "KENT, THE FIGHTING MAN." A dramatic film, entitled "Kent, the Fighting Man," will he screened at the Empire Theatre next Friday and Saturday nights and at a matinee Saturday afternoon at '2 p.m. A critic says of the film: —"It was inevitable that the popular sporting novel, ■Kent, the Fignting Man,' should ultimately find it* way into the haven of pictures, and now that it has done so, it is interesting to find that the producers have not belittled the sporting action of the story by placing the lead in inferior hands. The part of Kent, whose realistic light with a circus bully, and whose tight for the championslnn are outstanding features of tin; story, is played by no less a!; expert than Bombardier \Vells, the e::-iieavy-weight champion of Ureal Britain. The lighting portions of the picture are of intense interest, but the story carries with it also, in quaint roiitrast, a singularly pretty love theme, and Kent's 'punch' has always a girl behind it.'" A strong supporting programme includes, a splendid Charlie Chaplin comedy entitled "A Night with Charlie," and a Fatty Arhucklc comedy. Prices of admission will be D.C Is fid. Stalls Is (plus tax). Seats may be reserved at Collier's from this morning lo the end of season.
THE PEOPLE'S. "THE MARRIAGE RING." Charming Enid Bennett's latest picture, "The Marriage Ring," a superb dramatic production with this bright Australian star at her best, screens filially to-night. The rollicking Mack Sennett comedy, "Never Too UKI," starring all the knots at their funniest, and the latest gazette arc also on .the bill. MARY M. MINTKR TO-MORROW. In the Metro production, "Dimples," featuring the delightful little star, Ma.ry Miles Minter, is one of those pictures which win instant appreciation from all picture patrons —there are no great problems to unravel, but there is a good and interesting dramatic story, some bright comedy and the charm of youth and youthful gaiety. "Dimples"* cannot fail to please, the personality of the young star, the sweet innocence of the character portrayed and the charming wholesomeness of the story, will appeal.
