ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. ANITA STEWART IN ‘‘THE FIGHTING SHEPHERDESS.” To-night, at Everybody’s, Anita Stewart will star in her second big special picture for the First National circuity “The Fighting Shepherdess,” a picturisation of Caroline Lockhart’s thrilling story of the i open ranges, features Anita Stewart as the popular heroine, Kate Prentice. This is said to be the greatest woman’s book in many years, and the picture offers splendid opportunities to the star to display her ability in a role different to any she has essayed. The plot centres round the tireless, remorseless, implacable struggle of the girl to make her way in life against untold odds. Hard riding cattlemen recognise no sex in their efforts to drive her and her flocks from the ranges, but Kate is a fighter, and goes through tribulations to success in a. way that is fenthrallingly presented. COMING WEDNESDAY. “THE ADORABLE SAVAGE.” Another new face will be introduced to movie patrons on Wednesday, when Edith Roberts appears in the Universal feature “The Adorable Savage,” a story of the South Seas, with all the mystery and charm of. the tropics. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF ELSIE JANIS. “A Regular Girl” tells the tale of one, Elizabeth Schuyler (Elsie Janis), who sets out to prove to the world that women—even the “butterfly type”—can serve their fellow-beings equally as well as the opposite sex. Father Schuyler objects, but consents to lend financial assistance for a certain clever plan, providing Elizabeth first proves her capabilities by earning the tidy sum of ten thousand dollars. How she does this, and wins the love of the “only man” provides the screen with one of the most entertaining subjects of the season. The bill includes gazette and the big Alaskan play, “The Flame of Youth,” starring Jack Mulhall. BIG FOX DOUBLE BILL TO-MORROW. Buck Jones, the new addition to the William Fox list of stars, has put in weeks of strenuous work on “The Square Shooter,” the new photodrama which is coming to the People’s Theatre to-morrow. Buck Jones is a cowboy—a real cowboy, as his work in this thrilling photoplay will probably attest. The story is said to be filled with tense situations, touching love scenes and delightful comedy. The bill includes latest gazettes and the big dramatic play, “Flames of the Fleeh,” starring Gladys Brock well.
