ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "EXPERIMENTAL MARRIAGE." A wife from Saturday to Monday sounds like something that is not very proper, in fact, quite improper. But the weekenders who appear in "Expert mental Marriage" are quite harmless, only the wife has fada, and one of them is that in these modern days husband and wife see too much of each other and doesn't think ? And so on, and *o on, till hubby agrees but he doesn't like it and schemes accordingly. The new Select comedy drama, "Experimental Marriage," takes this theme as the basis of a bright and amusing play of hearts, and with Constance Talmadge as the wife and Harrison Ford as the husband, the production is piquantly flavored and cunningly sentimental. This clever feature screens for the last time to-night at Everybody's. The final episode of "Stingarce" also shows for the last time to-night. THE PEOPLE'S. PEGGY HYLAND AND MADELINE TRAVERSE TO-NIGHT. To-night's big double bill presents the piquant Fox comedy feature, "The Rebellious Bride," a play filled with thrilling incidents—a picture containing laughs galore, sensations aplenty, yet all the while a vitally interesting story, and featuring one of England's most popular screen stars, Peggy Hyland. It is said to be quite the liveliest, sprightliest and fastest comedy feature yet put over by Fox. The second feature, "Gambling in Souls," starring beautiful Madeline Traverse is a tense drama of gambling in high life, and the tale of'woman's revenge achieved, then surrendered for love. The latest gazettes are also on the bill.
