ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. ARTORAFT SPECIAL "MISSING" TO-NIGHT. At Everybody's to-night and at both sessions to-morrow the chief attraction will be the "Artcraft" special feature "Missing." The picture is based upon the famous novel by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, and produced by J. Stewart Blackton, "the master of screencraft." In thd picturisation of this famous story the producer has translated to the screen, with remarkable effect, a pnotoplay that will linger long in the memory of all who see it. It is a charming play of love and war, combining all the elements of dramatic thTill and deep heart appeal The play is filled with action and is in every way calculated to make a deep impression on the spectator. Instead of instilling the elements of despair "Missing" portrays the joy that can come out of sorrow. It shows the sort of stuff our women-folk are made of, and what they can do for the world when put to the test. Most of the action is in the beautiful green countryside of England, and the characters and story is also English. There are some delightful pictures in support including one of the clever "Sunshine" comedies, entitled "Shadows of Her Past." The box plan for both night sessions is now open at Collier's. Patrons are notified that there will be no increase in prices for this motion picture gem. THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF "SYLVIA ON A SPREE." Screening finally to-night, "Sylvia on a Spree," is quite the most captivating, unusual screen feature in which the delightful stage and screen star, Emmy Wehlen, has yet been seei. It has an irresistible appeal. Miss Wehlen plays the part of Sylvia Fairponts, a society girl, who has been sheltered from all knowledge of harm. She longs to see a little of "real life." Fate brings to her Jack Bradley, and the two become engaged on the condition that he takes her for an evening in "Bohemia." The climax of the story is novel and satisfying in the extreme. "Sylvia on a Spree" is something different, entirely out of the ordinary, and will delight the most captious. To-morrow's big bill presents the famous Canadian soldier-writer in the , picturisation of his famous bbok, "Two Years in Hell and Back With a Smile." The latest big Mack Sennett menagerie comedy, "The Village Chestnut," is also on the bill, as well as the World film feature, "Just Sylvia," starring Johnny Hines and Barbara jCastloton. The matinee to-morrow commences at 2 p.m.
