ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. HOWARD HICKMAN IN "BLUE BLOOD." "Blue Blood," starring Howard Hickman, is a story of the desires, ambitions and ultimate end of thousands of English and Americans to-day. It deals with the modern marriage of convenience and deals with it with «lovcs off. Howard Hickman as the scion of an ancient family, portrays the owner of the blue blood in a manner that leaves nothing to the imagination. Afflicted with hereditary paresis, caused by black sheep ancestors who strayed from the fold, he insists, in spite of warnings, in his intention to marry a society belle- The inevitable happens and the family name sinks into oblivion. "Blue Blood" would make an excellent text for a lecture on eugenics.. Beautifully produced, and with an excellent caste, this vivid drama should long be remembered. The screening nights are to-night and to-morrow at Everybody's. The third episode of "The Lightning Kaider" is showing with this programme. THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF MACK SENNETT. "The Poor Boob," starring Bryant Washburn, and screening finally tonight at the People's, is a very entertaining Paramount production. The cast is a particularly strong one, and includes Raymond Hatton, Theodore Roberts, Wanda Hawley, and Charles Ogle. The big Mack Sennett comedy "Hearts and Flowers" prpvides a sound half-hour's enjoyment, and the bill includes Gazette and I'ictograph. VIOLA DANA TO-MORROW. To-morrow's new bill presents a rather unique picture entitled "The Parisian Tigress," a play of human appeal, gripping in its intensity, delightful in its romance. It is a story of Paris when it smiled. It is not a war story, and has a fine comedy clement running throughout.
