ENTERTAINMENTS.

RENE CRESTE IN “THE MAN IN THE MASK.” To-night’s new bill at the People’s presents the first of the new Gaumont French productions, ‘‘The Man in the Mask.” featuring the beautiful French actress, Rene Create. It is a fine dramatic production, very powerful in its theme, played amidst beautiful scenery of the French Riviera. The play is at once beautiful, mysterious and exciting, being the romance of an American lieutenant* with a young French mother. As notified in the advertisements, the picture is not suited to children. The bill includes latest gazette, comedy and travelog.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT ADORABLE , SAVAGE.” Edith Roberts, the piquant Universal star, delighted an overflowing audience at Everybody’s last night with her splendid acting in “The Adorable Savage,” a photo-drama of the South Seas, by Ralph Stock. This dainty star has attained success playing the lighter roles, and her portrayal of Marama in this exotic romance strengthens her hold in the top round of filmdom’s ladder. In “The Adorable Savage,” Miss Roberts enacts a singularly difficult role. She is first seen as a young girl of culture and refinement who returns to the Fiji Islands, to her father’s plantation, to learn that her mother, who died at her birth, was a native. Appalled at the thought that in her veins flows the blood of the South Seas, she decides to cast off her role of refinement and try to accustom herself, to the semi-savage ways and customs of her mother’s people. The picture is interesting throughout, and the climax is a masterpiece. TO-MORROW. H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES IN PICTURES. A unique event in picture history is claimed by the producers of “The Power iof Might,” an English production, which includes the Prince of Wales amongst the cast. This picture hows at Everybody’s to-morrow and Saturday,
