ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF "CARMEN OP THE KLONDIKE." This wonderful North-western picture, rival of the "Flame of the Yukon," screens finally to-night at the People's. It is quite safe to say that it is easily the finest picture of the Alaskan goldfields and the blcak-visaged North that has ever been filmed. Clara Williams plays the role of "Carmen," and there is a particularly strong cast of supporting players. BIG DOUBLE BILL TO-MORROW. To-morrow's big new bill presents popular George Walsh in his big rapid fire comedy "Help! Help! Police!" This is the name of the play, and the story, it is said, deals with safety razors, the police, and a love affair. It is denied that the safety razors are introduced to give George ac' to cut up—the police provide that opportunity. However, it is obvious that if it hadn't been for the razors, George would not have gotten into so many scrapes. Madelaine Traverse appears in a fine drama "The Love that Dares," and the bill includes the latest gazette. EVERYBODY'S. TOM MOORE AND CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN "THE LESSON."

Constance Tiilmadge's latest Select picture, "The Lesson," is a highly entertaining photo-play—wholesome, delightful, and masterfully produced—a refreshing, clean breath of spring air in the stifling atmosphere of the sex-stressing melodramas which crowd the screen to excess. As such "The Lesson" stands out from the rut of the common garden variety of pictures, but it possesses an additional noteworthy feature in the fidelity with which it," portrays smßll town happenings as well as metropolitan life Constance the cute and cunning is assisted in "The Lesson" by Tom Moore, and the combination furnishes fine entertainment. There is an excellent supporting programme, which includes ft hilarious "Sunshine" comedy entitled "Mongrels."
