ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. MAE MARSH IN "THE RACING STRAIN." A story of the South, meaning Kentucky, with its mint-julep drinking colonels, its thoroughbred horses and darkies, its pretty maidens and its "honah, sah!" is "The Racing Strain" in which Mae Marsh is featured as .the daughter of a colonel. It is a beautiful love tale of an appeal and pathos; a young girl's love and loyalty for her bankrupt father; a contest against uneven odds with an unscrupulous gambler, and a Saratoga race scene that will provide all the thrills that any one could desire. Mae Marsh in "The Racing Strain" shows her old form of, "Polly of the Circus," and this later feature quite equals "Polly" and m some ways surpasses it. "The Racing Strain" shows at Everybody's to-night and to-morrow night only.

THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF*FRED' STONE. Fred Stone, the wondeVful acrobat and rival of Fairbanks, screeens finally to» night at the People's in his big successful circus film "Under the Top?' It is a play brimful of thrills, stunts and rattling good fun. The bill includes latest gazettes and comedy.

CHAS. RAY AND MACK SENNETT TO-MORROW. To-morrow's new big bill presents popular Charlie Ray in "The Girl Dodger," described as a corking good story, in which Cuthbert is afraid of the girlies until Pinkie La Rue began to take him over and the story becomes highly entertaining. The sub-titles designed by Irvin J. Martin, for Charles Ray's latest picture, "The Girl Dodger," are an entertainment in themselves. More and more attention ia being paid nowadays to subtitles, in order that they may bo not only consistent with the story but that they shall in themselves add to the entertainment to be derived from the film. The subtitles in "The Girl Dodger" are an excellent example of this. See them. They're screamingly tunny. The big new Mack Sennett comedv, "No Mother to Guide Him," stars all the Sennett K-nuts and promises many a tear of laughter.
