ENTERTAINMENTS.

) THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF "QUICKSAND." The superb* drama "Quicksand," starring exquisite Dorothy Dalton, screens finally to-night at the People's. It is easily the' best piece of work Miss Dalton has so far contributed to the films, and. cannot but please* the most blase picture-goer. As the .young wife who trod the quicksands of the underworld to save her husband she fills a most exacting' role. ENID BENNETT TO-MORROW. "Happy, Though Married," the greatest comedy-drama our Enid has yet appeared in, heads the new bill to-morrow. Young brides and brides-to-be especially invited. Hubbies, too —for that matter. In fact, we won't refuse admission to the whole darn family. But come early—that's the main point. A big Jester comedy, gazettes and "The Fighting Trail" are also showing. EVERYBODY'S. ANITA STEWART IN "A MIDNIGHT ROMANCE." At Everybody's Theatre to-night and to-morrow Anita Stewart will appear in "A Midirght Romance," her first big feature released through the First National TSxhiMtots. In "A Midnight Romance" Anita Stewart, under the direction of Lois Wober, has passed all expectations. Rarely has such a wonderful production beei seer, it; New Zealand. Artistic to a degree and with radiantly beautiful settings, the delightful story unfolds like a wonderful dream. Throughout one whole reel Anita cavorts about the beach at midnight in a seductive bathing costume, and the atmosphere of romance surrounds her like a halo all through. Jack Holt makes an altogether desirable hero, and is a 1? capable a swimmer as he is actor and dancer. Several scenes were taken in the magnificent Alexandria Hotel at I.os Angeles, Lois Weber renting the parts until completed. The story possesses many unusual attractions, mystery being a prominent one, and real live people move through it in realistic and convincing manner. The supports include another adventure of "The Scarlet Runner," a Pathe Gazette, and an interest picture, "Cattle Raising in Texas."
