ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE'S. BIG FOX DOUBLE BILL TO-NIGHT. To-night's big bill at the People's is headed by Theda Barn in "The She Devil," a great hi?, different Theda Bara production that gives opportunity for a tremendous eleaii-up! It is strong melodrama plus—it is melodrama -with just the right comedy touch. Miss Bara as a Spanish Juanita is delightful and never has she had more opportunity to display her wiiy charms than in "The She Devil." Loved and admired by every gallant in the lazy little Southern village of Spain she received attentions only to toy with the hearts of those who shower affection xrn her. It is a striking play with an absolutely novel plot. Peggy Hyland also appears on this bill in a fine five-reel Fox drama "Other Men's Daughters," and the bill includes latest gazette. EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "THE BETTER WIFE." Clara Kimbell Young has again been fortunate in securing in "The Better Wife" a story, that is eminently suited to her talents and beauty. Although a problem play that deals with married life, it is a good, clean and highly entertaining plot, and tiie lovely star cannot fail to win both admiration and sympathy in her characterisation of the American girl who seeks her great romance in England. The settings are truthfully carried out, and the photography is excellent—in all it is a picture that is eminently worth seeing. A Sunshine comedy "Choose Your Exit," is included on the programme, which shows finally to-night. The feature for tomorrow is "Bringing up Betty," a World film comedy drama starring Evelyn Greeley.
