ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S: ALICE JOYCE IN "THE SPARK DIVINE." A poor little rich girl, brought up to be an ornament to society with no knowledge of a mother's love; such is Alice Joyce in "The Spark Divine,", one of her best characterisations up to date. Married for convenience and luxury, she has no interest in her connubial lite beyond living what she called her own life," and her child was only an incident to be dismissed as a passing thought. When that child was stolen from her, the divine spark was kindled, and she became n real woman, yearning for her young. Alice Joyce, as lovely as ever, makes an appealing young mother, and gets the sympathy of the audience right through. "The Spark Divine" shows 'at Everybody's this afternoon at the matinee, and again to-night. These are the only two occasions that this subject can be shown.

THE PEOPLE'S. PAULINE FREDERICK TO-NIGHT. To-day's new bill, commencing at the matinee, presents the screen's great emotional artiste, beautiful Pauline Frederick, in the superb and appealing dramatic screen play, ''Paid in Full." The wiseacres say "It is the woman who always pays," and no more gripping climax lias yet been .written into a play of this class than is the case in "Paid in Full." Miss Frederick is supported by an admirable cast of players, and the bill includes latest gazette, pictograph and comedy.
