ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. PAULINE FREDERICK, Commencing to-day at 2 p.m., a new programme will be presented at Everybody's Theatre. Pauline Frederick will appeaT in her first Goldwyn production, "The Woman on the Index." The story deals with a young wife who has a buried past. It has a great climax, and provides many great opportunities for the celebrated star. She was hunted by men and haunted by women. Cold, piercing eyes trailed her every move; mocking, sneering, taunting voices leaped up like a bolt in the night, and bellowed: "There is the woman—the woman on the index!" She is the guilty one. Miss Frederick has never had the same opportunity for displaying her wonderful artistry as is furnished by this play. THE EMPIRE. MARY PICKFORD INT "DADDY LONG LEGS." THIS AFTERNOON AT 2 p.m. The first screening of "Daddy Long Legs" will take place at the Empin* this afternoon at 2 p.m. "Daddy Long Legs," which is Mary Pickford's very first own production, is an attraction with universal appeal. It is filled with children and their doings. Moreover the children are not every day kiddies with parents and homes, but the little charges of an orphan asylum which is sadly mismanaged. The role of July Abbott is played by Mary Pickford. She is a twelve-year-old girl, full of life and fun, dodging the repressive methods of the superintendent of the home to run off and help her companions who are faring ill on the miserable diet and poor.care thw receive. Among the children supporting the star is the funniest and most freckled boy ever seen in pictures. "Daddy Long Legs" shows again to-night at 8 p.m., and continues Monday and Tuesday. Those picture goers who have not already reserved seats, should do so at Collier's early to-day.

THE PEOPLE'S. LINA CAVAUm TO-NIGHT. During the filming of "Love's Conquest," the Paramount Picture starring Lina Cavalieri, widely known as "the most beautiful woman in Europe," intense excitement was created when a big lion all but clawed his trainer to death. Thousands of people in tho vicinity at the time became panic-stricken, but their fears were soon allayed when studio attaches rescued the trainer, and beat the aniitial until he was ac«vrc£ly able to move. The animal will he seen in several scenes in "Love's Conquest," which will be screened at the People's to-night and Monday. The matinee today commences at 2 p.m., and the bill includes a big Billy West comedy, gajettes, etc.
