ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OP "BLUE BLOOD." Howard Hickman in "Blue Blood" is responsible for a startling characterisation of the role of a scion of the aristocracy, cursed with an hereditary taint, which in no way deters him, spite of warnings, from marrying a beautiful society girl. Magnificent scenes show the history of the ancestors .responsible for the bar sinister, and equally startling 'are the scenes whore Wellington, the aristocrat, descends to depths in his mad revels. The circumstances which unite his wife after her husband's death, with the man she should have married, bring about the ending of the play that should have a wide appeal. '"Blue Blood" shows finally to-night at Everybody's. The third episode of "The Lightning Baider" also shows for the last time to-night. THE PEOPLE'S. , ' .VIOLA DANA TO-NIGHT. Glimpses of Bohemian life in the artists' studios of the Latin quarter of Paris will be among tbe clever scenes shown in "The Parisian digress," the gripping Metro play to be shown at the People's Theatre to-night, in which Viola Dana is the star. The atmosphere of the cafes and studios is cleverly imparted to "the scenes which were designed by Henri Menessier, the noted French artist in charge of Metro's scenic studio. The whole play imparts an atmosphere of reality which is due to the extreme care taken in every minute detail by Maxwell Ivarger, director-general of the Metro studios, and Herbert Blaohe, the clever Frenchman who made the production. The bill includes the latest Gazettes and Billy West comedy, and the free photo of Lina Cavalieri.
