ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF TOM MOORE IN "ONE OF THE FINEST." "One of the Finest" was the title of i the principal picture at Everybody's last night, and the title ia moat appropriate as the story is one of the best motion picture comedy-dramas ever seen |in this town. The eternal cussedness of the fair sex is the prime motive of the j story ,in this new Goldwyn comedydrama, starring the ever pouular Tom j Moore as a mounted policeman who loves an heiress, and why shouldn't he? It happens to be very clearly demonstrated why he should rage against the feminine cussedness. He reprimands a girl for speeding in the park, and she starts to have him disciplined for the fancied affront. Then he rescues her from a runaway horse and she fumes at his interference. He rails against the characteristic inconsistency, but he gets her in the end, and you have a diverting comedy and a happy ending. The supports include a Century comedy "Looney Lions and Monkey Business," "Stingaree," and a Pathe Gazette. The final screening takes place to-night. THE PEOPLE'S. DOROTHY GISH TO-NIGHT. Almost everyone will tell you it is not a deuced hard job to get arrested. Dorothy Gish, whose latest Paramount picture, coming to the People's theatre to-night, tejls an entirely different story She just had to get arresteu in order to have the people, who were abusing girls in the Melville reformatory, shown up in thei;- true colors, but although she stole a coat from a pawnshop and ran down a whole block, no one paid any attention to her. She was obliged to throw a brick at a 'jeweller's window to attract the attention of the arm of the law. But when she did got into gaol she couldn't get out. "Peppy Polly" is screamingly funny. The latest gazette, comedy and pictograph are ■also on the bill. "ZOE" AT THE EMPIRE. Zoe, who is a "headliner" on the programme of the World's Entertainers, to appear at the Empire Theatre on Saturday and Monday next, comes with a great reputation.

The management desires patrons having questions for Zoe to answer, to rbing them written out, with them- Supporting Zoe is Miss Winifred La France, an Australian girl with an American reputation, who is a singer of catchy songs, and also specialises in child impersonations and clever patter.
