ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE EMPIRE. LAST NIGHT OF "DADDY LONG LEGS." The Empire was again packed to the doors last evening, when the First National super-feature "Daddy Long Legs" was screened tor the second occasion. This delightful picture is easily the most that Mary Piekford has yet been featured in, a strong feature of the story being its appeal to all classes of picture patrons. "Daddy Long Legs" shows at a matinee commencing at 2.30 this afternoon, and again for positively the last time to-night. In view of the numbers unable to gain admission last evening, intending patrons to-night would be wise to reserve at Collier's. EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "WHO CARES t" A real Constance Talmadge story is "Who Cares?" and she gets out of her role of Joan every atom of effect possible. Youth vibrant and clamorant with springtime fancies, scintillates from her in every movement—she makes you glad you are young, or if you have passed that hey-day of life, she brings back your youthful memories, and all the treasured visions of past days. Her work in "Who Cares?" is quite the best' she has ever put forth, and the story, by that master magician, Cosmo Hamilton, fits her like a glove. E. W. Hornung, England's famous short story writer who created "Raffles," "The Amateur Cracksman," "Stingaree," and other popular stories, has again hit the public fancy with his latest creation, "Further Adventures of Stingaree." This interesting story has been filmed in the form of a fifteen weeks' serial picture, and like the previous "Stingaree" picture, each episode is a complete story in itself. The first episode of this picture, and the Constance Talmadge feature, "Who Cares?" show for the last time to-night at Everybody's. THE PEOPLE'S. MACK BENNETT AND PAULINE FREDERICK. To-night's new bill presents an exquisite dramatic photoplay, "Out of the Shadows," starring beautiful Pauline Frederick. It is a screen presentation of a famous mystery story by the man who wrote "Raffles," and is founded on The .Shadow of the Rope," by Ernest William Hornung. Hornung was born in Lngland in 1866. He spent some time in Australia, and, on his return to England in 1886, engaged in literary work. His best known novels are: f'Dead Men Tel! No Tales," "An Amateur Gentleman," "Stingaree," and "Mr. Justice Raffles." The latest Mack Sennett comedy, "When Love is Blind," and gazettes are also on the bill.
