ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S,

JUNE ELVIDGE IX "COAX ME."

Two seta of lovers in a play are usually enough to complicate the action, ■"it three make tilings hum, especially Ult is comedy. If it were drama it would be trt'gie, but since it is pure comedy with June Elvidge taking a day off emotional acting to enjoy herself in a bit of nonsense, the result is lively entertainment. Such is "Coax Me," the new World Film feature showing to-night and to-morrow at Everybody's. For aywhilc everybody is m love ( with the wrong person, and it makes all sorts of lively incidents and amusing situations—they even .get a donkey in to Mlp to straighten things out. June Elvidge is quite delicious as a comedienne and she has a lively cast to support her. The public doesn't have 'to be coaxed to laugh. Another episode of "The Man of Might" is also showing with this programme. "RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE." Playing the part of Lassiter, William Farmim will be the attraction ac Everybody's on Friday and Saturday in a screen adaptation of Zane Grey's famous novel, "Riders of the Purple Sage." In this virile drama of pioneer days in Utah, Mr. Farnum portrays the part of a Western gunman—not the vicious type of killer, but one who, like a devastating angel, swept through the countryside of the early Mormon settlement and made his name a terror to right a great wrong. The box plan arrangements and prices of admission are advertised in this issue. THE PEOPLE'S. LAST NIGHT OF GEORGE WALSH.

"Help! Help! Police!" is easily one of George Walsh's best pictures to date. George, it seems, falls in love with the daughter of his dad's principal business rival. Both fathers consider this a stroke against the grain and one of them is rather inclined to assist the police in ticketing George "over fthe road." To this cause a keen-edged sharper contributes an abundance of circumstantial, evidence and George is afforded a great opportunity for displaying his athletic prowess in parrying and dodging this steady bombardment. Madelaine Traverse is excellent in "The Love That Dares," and the bill includes 'the latest gazette.
