ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE'S. | LAST NIGHT OF FAIRBANKS. Douglas Fairbanks screens finally tonight in "He Comes Up Smiling," which gives him exceptional opportunities. He is after a canary all the time. It has been lost by the manager of a bank where he is employed, and Doug, sets out into the country to capture it. As Jerry he proves beyond doubt that even a tramp can be a whole-souled gentleman. So sensational are Fairbanks' antics that the audience is continually wondering what next lie is going to do. There is a diverting supporting programme and tasty music in addition. AHBUCKLE AND ELSIE FERGUSON TO-MORROW. To-morrow's is anther of the big double bills and present's, besides the sixth episode of the wonderful 'Tighting Trail," charming Elsie Ferguson in "Under the Greenwood Tree," aa out-of-doors farm, with love, adventure, sensations and thrills all bunched together—the kind of story one can imagine Elsie Ferguson would do Tieat in. To cap the bill is the wonderful Arbuckle supercomedy, "Camping Out," the first of eight super-comedies, and a revelation in laughter films. With the exception of "The Fighting Trail" ■ this programme screens' at the special matinee on Thursday at 3.30 p.m. EVERYBODY'S. A REX BEACH FEATURE. "THE BRAND" TO-NIGHT. Rex Beach's most powerful screen drama since "The Spoilers," is "The Brand," in which Kay Laurel], Russell Simpson and Robert McKim are featured. Laid in the Alaskan wilderness, the story is the creation of a man who knows Alaska as we know New Zealand, .and the result is practically a flawless production. "The Brand" ranks well to the front among screen triumphs, The name is no mere psychological stigma; it is applied physically and stands for the hatred and contempt of one man for another, who, he says, is not fit to'lull. Years of anguish and infamy lie behind this action, born of the monotony and loneliness that come with the hush of the white wild. The story is virile and vivid to a degree and •is one that will be long remembered, "The Brand" shows to-night and tomorrow night, and is supported by the ; Pathe Gazette mid the sixth adventure j of "The Scarlet Runner." !
