ENTERTAINMENTS.

"THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY." 0. HENRY'S FAMOUS STORY IN MOTION PICTURES. 0. Henry's well-known story "The Unknown Quantity" is being told in picture form at Everybody's to-night, and with a love interest that is strong and sustained it makes a most pleasing us well as artistic offering. Having been plunged into distress by the action of a multi-millionaire in "cornering" flour, the poorer classes of a community are led to hate the wealthy man, and not the least hateful is the daughter of a baker. Her family ruined, she has to shift for herself, but eventually a life of hardship and suffering Is brightened by the restitution offered by the millionaire's son, to whom she is finally married- There are other interesting pictures shown in support.

THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF VIOLA DANE. Charming little Viola Dane plays a fine role in her latest Mc.ro success, '"The Parisian Tigress," concluding tonight at tlie People's. It is a bright comedy drama of the days when Paris was gay and romantic, before the war clouds burst upon the world- It personifies gaiety, and yet it is a story of both smiles and tears which wins the hearts of all observers. The* bill includes the latest gazettes and Billy West comedy. PAULINE FREDERICK TO-MORROW. To-morrow's new programme is heeded by the Paramount super-feature, "Paid in Full," starring the emotional empress, beautiful Pauline Frederick, who is supported by a particularly able cast of players. The matinee to-mor-row commences at 2 p m.
