ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. At the matinee this afternoon and again finally to-night the programme at Everybody’s will include the two big British features, “The Power of Right” and “Big Money.” The favorite English actor, James Knight, has the leading part in both pictures, and “The Power °f Right - ’ includes H.R.H. the Prince of Wales amongst the cast. Both pictures are excellent productions and full of sustained interest. COMING MONDAY. NORMA TALMADGE IN “A DAUGHTER OF TWO WORLDS.” Norma Talmadge makes her initial appearance under the aegis of First National in Leroy Scott’s most famous story, “A Daughter of Two Worlds,” a performance that is prophetic of even greater things for this brilliant young star in the future. In her entire career no picture has afforded Norma Talmadge such opportunities of displaying powerful emotional acting and her dramatic ability to interpret every human thought and feeling, as this gripping story of Jennie, the little slum girl, whose passage from the underworld to exclusive society is fraught with frightful dangers and amazing adventures. There is not a moment in the course of the many shifting scenes that is not tense with action, not a moment that is dull.

THE PEOPLE’S. OLIVE THOMAS AND “TIH MINH” TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT. To-day’s new programme, commencing at the People’s at 2 p.m., presents the popular and beautiful Olive Thomas in her latest Setenick masterpiece, “Youthful Folly.” This is a screen play—a comedy-drama of note, written by Miss Thomas herself, who also plays the stellar role. The bill includes gazette, comedy, travel, and the opening episode of the Gaumont Company’s wonder serial play, “Tih Minh,” a serial which, for a good story, thrills and excitement, has not yet been equalled on the screen. “SHOULD A HUSBAND FORGIVE?” TUESDAY. An Arkansas race track was engaged for the photographing of the horse-rac-ing scenes in “Should a Husband Forgive?” the big William Fox special which will be seen on Tuesday at the People’s Theatre. Thus it was possible to get the most exciting racing scenes ever shown on the screen and also to accomplish the unusual objective of having Miriam Cooper, who plays Ruth Fulton in the picture, actually ride a horse in jockey’s garb in a real race. “Should a Husband Forgive?” may be described as a problem play cast along lines of melodrama. The overworked word ‘'thrilling” seems to belong here. The picture is gripping, tense, but neve* morbid. It makes an almost universal appeal because of its many angles.
