ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT OF "SAHARA." The initial production of "Sahara" at Everybody's last evening found much favor with the large audience. The story tells of the loneliness of a Parisian actress after accompanying her husband to the Sahara Desert, on which he is engaged in a big engineering wo*k. Discontent leads her to Cairo, where.she is associated with a Baron, owning Nile estates, but again she becomes restless, and by a curious circumstance finds her husband, demented, and a victim of drugs, and her child, in the Street of Beggars. This meeting causes her to make a sacrifice by helping those in need. Other pictures were a Pathe Gazette, "Winter Sports in Quebec," and a "Stingaree" story. The final screening takes- place to-night.

THE PEOPLE'S. BIG FOX DOUBLE BILL. Must a mother, beautiful, true, generous, and at the apex of a great social career, sacrifice this by confessing an error of her youth V "Snares of Paris/' which opens to-night at the People's Theatre for a two day run, with Madlame Traverse in the star role, gave ansivcr to this question through,a plot of startling interest which culminates in » climax 1 of extreme force. The star, noted for her convincing emotional work as for her exquisite taste in rich costuming, outdoes even her .own work in previous Fox pictures and proves her right to the title of "empress of stormy emotion." The bill includes gazettes and Ray and Fair in a I musical duet "Tin Pan Alley."
