ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "HER KINGDOM OP DREAMS." Sandwiched in between the way bacK splendour of a big lumber tract, with the breathless activity of logging-up in full swing, and the tangled maze of society life in a big city, is the drama of a young girl who yearned for "Her Kingdom of Dreams," and won her kingdom after a hard battle. "Her Kingdom of Dreams" is a big play, with a heavy call on First National film talent rrom adorable Anita Stewart down to Wcslev Barry, the cute little youngster who tickled us to death in "Daddy Long Legs." The plot is a tangle or several plots, each of which would'make a play itself. When a lumber baron leaves ail his money to his pretty secretarv, and on his deathbed persuades her to marry his son, whom she scarcely knows and who is involved with a spider hussie, there is a big enough plot to start with! A humble family robbed of its title to lumber lands and a high-squled son out to deal with the swindler who wrecked the happiness of his home provides plot number two, and so on. After an amazing series of soul-disturbing complications the play ends with an exciting motor chase that sends yon home with if happy smile, for the husband catches his wife and the traffic police look the other way while Cupid rings down the curtain. The final screening takes place at Everybody's to-night. THE "PEOPLE'S. "WHEN A WOMAN SINS" TO-NIGHT. To-night and to-morrow, at the People's, Theda Bara will star in the' Fox super-feature, "When a Woman Sin«" ,Ao character in all the history of the j human race holds a greater appeal than the woman who has sinned. From the days of the Bible down through the records of all the races, the scarlet woman has absorbed the attention of historians and the great masters of literature. This is because her sins are the echoes of the sins of each one oi us- because in her folly we sec ourselves if w. but gave rein (o the impulses that sometimes crowd our hearts for domination. In "When a Woman Sins" we not only have a woman who has sinned, but we also have a woman who, fundamentally, is good and true and whose soul yearned for the peaceful happiness that could be found only in a great and clean love. "When a Woman Sins" should prove the greatest box-ofiice success ever known at this theatre, for its appeal reaches down into the inner cells of every woman's heart, and its theme strikes to the depths of men's instinct. It's a great, big play, and its success is as certain as the sun. The prices of iadmission remain as usual and seats may lie reserved at Hoffmann's.
