ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. GLADYS WALTON IN “PINK TIGHTS.” To-night and to-morrow at Everybody’s Gladys Walton will star in a fivereel feature of circus life, entitled “Pink Tights”. The early scenes, picturing the arrival of a circus travelling on its wheels, are perhaps a part of the memories of everyone who has ever lived in a small town. The New England town visited in this instance is stirred to its wildest enthusiasm, and criticism on the part of a certain element by the arrival of the tented show. The balloon ascension and parachute drop of*the girl heroine, known as “Queen of the Air”, are successfully accomplished. The girl is Gladys Walton, and her landing on the, roof of the young minister’s house, attired in her flying costume of pink tights, I may be described as an unusual situation. The minister’s effort to conceal her, the surprise party of his congregation, and the revelations of the inevitable small boy are all excellently ' handled. There ’is an excellent supporting bill, including two double-reel comedies and three topical magazines, THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF TOM MIX. Tom Mix, easily the most popular motion picture star, opened in “The Daredevil,” his' latest western thriller, to a large audience last night at the People’s. “The DavedeVil” is even more, than its name, implies, for Mix may bi£ said to appear at. his utmost in this absorbing, two-fisted screen play. The second feature play on this bill. “Her / Honor the Mayor,” presents - delightful i Eileen Percy in a most entertaining comedy drama hinging round cupid in • politics..
