ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. LAST NIGHT. OF'THE ARIZONA CAT ' CLAW." Spectacular horsemanship, wild rides across mountain crests, and along precipitous trails, hand-to-hand encounters: numerous shooting affrays, acrobatic stunts diverse and extraordinary—these are the ingredients of the latest Western drama, "The Arizona Cat Cla\v,'\in which the star is a cowgirl, not a cowboy, Edythe Sterling, of international fame as an equestrienne. Thrills galore, mingled with an appealing love, story, make this feature strongly attractive The final screening takes place to-night, at Everybody's. THE LEE KIDS, TO-MORROW. The popular Lee Kiddies star to-mor-row and Saturday in "We Should Worry," a Fox comedy-drama, and Sessile Hayakawa appears on the same bill in "The Tong Man," a story of 'Frisco's Chinatown.

THE EMPIRE. "SUNNYSIDE" AND "BACK TO GOD'S COUNTRY." Follow the trail of Wapi, the Killer, to the Empire Theatre on Friday and Saturday, where "Back to God's Own Country," is being screened. Wapi, man-killer, tore at his enemy, and hers, the man who had forced them both into the pitiless wastes of the great Northland, where none but the strong survive. This is the tremendous climax of James Oliver Curwood's story, which is quite unique, filmed north of 56 degrees, with the cold so intense that one player lost his life, another his feet through frostbite, the whole company enduring frightful privationk. It is a story of the open spaces, of the land of everlastng snow, where the gaunt wolf stalks its prey, where men settle their feudal battles with the knife or gun. Qn the same programme will be shown Charlie Chaplin's latest, "Sunnyside," a rural romance that makes you yell with laughter and yet touches your heart. In •'Sunnyside" the great little comedian is funnier than ever, irresistibly, gloriously funny, but his fun is pathetic and ludicrous at once. It's the sort that will charm the youngest child and warm, tin coldest heart. The season opens with a matinee on Friday afternoon at 3.30. Box plans for the evening sessions are now open at Collier's.

THE PEOPLE'S. VIVIAN MARTIN IN "MAKING HER HIS WIFE." Is there a married couple in this district that doesn't know the meaning of the word "tiff." If so, that couple ought to see "Making Her His Wife." There's a tiff in every ten feet. But "tiffs" are good business, because' the more "tiffs" there are, the more makings up there are, and you could not find a more loving happily married couple than Vivian Martin and Hugh Thompson make in this picture. 'Some girls' idea of married life is to be carried away literally and metaphorically. This is how a little society butterfly suddenly found herself dumped down in a country town as the wife of a country storekeeper. In "Making Her His Wife" the butterfly soon began to make things move, too fast for her husband in fact, but the picture tells the story best. The bill includes gazette, travel film, and Christie j comedy.
