ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. "inssnre" showing at both SESSION'S TO-DAY. The special Stuart Blackton Artcraft picture "Missing," was screened to a big attendance at Everybody's for the first time last night. This is, indeed, a master production from every standpoint. Instead of instilling the elements of despair, "Missing" portrays the happiness that can come out of sorrow. It shows the sort of stuff that our women folk are made of, and what they can do for the world when put to the test. It is a free from the gruesome, and presents a story of life that is found to be loved by women the country over. The story deals with the fortunes of a 'British army officer and his bride. He is reported missing, but subsequently regains the British lines, his mind and body wrecked by shock and mental suffering, and ultimately is restored to health when his wife sings a pathetic love song, which they had often sung together during their courting days. "Missing" is destined to rank as one of the biggest and finest things that has been supplied for' the screen. It is filled with action, and is in every way calculated to make a deep impression upon the spectator, ,and it will linger long in the memory of all who see it. "Missing" screens at (he matinee this afternoon and again uiallv to-night and • picture patrons will apnreciate this fine subject as well as "Hearts of the World." i THE PEOPLE'S. j BIG TRIPLE-STAR BILL.
