ENTERTAINMENTS.

THEDA BARA IN "THE ROSE Off BLOOD." In "The Rose of Blood," the Theda Bara super-picture which William Fox lias just completed for release, the recent revolutionary crisis in Russia becomes an important part of the story. Using the same methods of contriving an historical romance which Alexandre Dumas employed, Richard Ordynski, author of the story, has achieved a plot which will take rank beside tFe filmed versions of the greatest dramas of history. The screening nights of the masterpiece are to-night and to-morrow at LOverybody's, and there will also be a matinee to-morrow at 2 p.m. Supporting "The Rose of Blood" there is a charming Goldwyn comedy-drama, "Spotlight Sadie," with the popular lutle Mea Marsh in the romantic role of an Irish colleen who goes to America and becomes a stage favorite. Prices of admission for this superattraction are: Dress circle 2s, back stalls Is fid, front stalls Is (phis tax). The box plan for both evenings is on view at Collier's. THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF NAZIMOVA. Alia Nazimova, the idolised Russian actress, screen finally to-night in the Metro super-play "Out of the Fog," universally agreed to be the greatest piece of work that this great star has yet cone. It is a story of the sea, wonderfully beautiful in scening and the greatest piece of acting that any audience ever saw. It is a powerful drama of deep emotions, revealing bitter hate and blinding love. CARMEN OF THE KLONDIKE. TO-MORROW AND MONDAY. "Carmen of the Klondike," sister picture to "Flame of the Yukon," a grim drama of the Alaskan goldfields and the frozen north, opens at' the matinee tomorrow at 2 p.m. The sullen splendour of the northern snow-mantled forests gives fitting settings for this powerful f.tcvy of a dance hall queen, who double crossed a crook. Life and love, lust, hate, and death, play their part. The groi tost death-grappling fight ever screened takes place in the teeth of the cruellest storm that ever swept across Alaska, and provides a thrilling climax. "Bicause," she says, "a man brought me here with the promise of marriage and fß ; sed me, I shall make men pay." "There's .uold to be got from these fools; a smile, a kiss—and I have them as I want them. They're mine—and they think they can hold me with their money and their woman-mad greed. They ply me with wine to add fire to my kisses, eh? The fools! For lam Carmen of the Klondike." Here you have a hint of the plot which is grimly played out to a sensational climax. SCHOOL TEACHERS DANCE. A very pleasant social and danca was held on Wednesday night at the East End Pavilion by the teachers who have been attending the course of winter classes at the Technical College during the past two weeks. There were about ninety couples present, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was spent. The music was supplied by Mr. Boulton and Messrs. A. Mills and A. Hayes acted as M.C.'s. During the evening songs were song by Miss Rhynd and Mr. N. Day. Refreshments were generously prcided by the members of the East End Reesrve Committee.
