ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “The Girl in The Rain,” the newest Universal photoplay announced for tonight at Everybody’s Theatre. will introduce to local theatre-goers a new ; star in the tiny person of Anne Cornwall. Miss Cornwall is a former | Broadway musical comedy favorite who I has been seen in only a half-dozen ' screen productions, but has already ‘ earned a warm spot for herself in the I hearts of movie patrons. A flash of lightning, a torrent of rain, a frightened horse and a still more frightened girl bring about one of the most delightfully thrilling situations in “The Girl in the Rain.” The story was film- 1 ed at Universal City, with the forest scenes in Laurel Canyon and the water episodes on the Sacramento River. The bill includes the Screen Magazine, “The Bear Skin Beauties,” the latest Universal comedy, Gaumont Graphic and Travelog. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF Wm. RUSSELL & MADLAINE TRAVERSE. “Leave It to Me,” with the favorite Fox star, William Russell, in the lead, will be. shown for the last time tonight at the People’s Theatre, where it has had a successful run. The picture is intensely dramatic and spiced with genial humor. It is from the pen of Arthur Jackson and was staged under the direction of Emmett J. Flynn. Eileen Percy, the charuffng, is the leading woman. The bill also presents Madlaine Traverse in a splendid Fox mining camp drama, “The Spirit of Good.” To-morrow’s new bill presents Catherine Calvert in “A Romance of the Underworld.” and episode two of “Elmo, the Fearless.” ST. LEON’S CIRCUS. Say what you will, there is no entertainment in the world that appeals to young and old and middle-aged of either sex like a good circus. There is a perennial charm about the magic circle of the sawdust ring that grips the imagination and thrills the heart of every boy and girl of us. St.- Leon’s Circus has been a household Word in Australasia for upwards of five generations of amusement lovers, and its established good name stands to-day, as it did in the long ago, for all that is cleanest and cleverest, brightest and best in the circus world. With new and surprising acts, sensational acrobats, riders, and trapeze experts, really funny clowns, educated blood horses and ponies, and a score of other thrills and attractions, St. Leon's Circus, which opens here on Friday and Saturday, January 28 and 29, is already assured, of a hearty welcome, and of the emphatic success which a good show always deserves.
