ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. DOUBLE FEATURE BILL TO-NIGHT. Two favorite stars in June-Elvidge ancL ; Montague Love appear in “The Quickening Flame,” a story of domestic flurries and misunderstanding. The theme is -the old saw “marry in haste and repent at leisure/’ and the moral is pointed in graphic manner by melodramatic situations well conceived and carried out. The picture has all the elements of good* entertainment, to which is added the fine -work for which the' two stars are responsible. This fine world feature shows on a double bill at Everybody’s to-night and to-mor-row. The second feature is a Vitagraph Blue Ribbon production, “A Gentleman’s Agreement,” starring Nell Shipman. The work of Nell Shipman in this picture will recall her fine performance in “Back to God’s Country,” and will leave no doubt in any mind of her outstanding ability. The story is hy Wallace Irwin the well-known novelist, and has much in the way of thrill and novelty of plot to entertain handsomely. A thoroughly competent cast supports the star, headed by Alfred Whitman, and. the photography will leave many pleasant impressions in the mind. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “OLD LADY 31.” Metro’s seven-reel super comedy-drama “Old Lady 31,” concluding to-night at the People’s is a master picturisatton of. the gr?at New York stage successes, by Rachael Crothers. Emma Dunn and Henry Harmon play the leading roles. An eminent doctor, (Frank Crane) writes to the Globe:—“What a relief from the everlasting flapper. Why is it assumed by all romances that people lose interest in -human beiitgs .the moment they pass »youth and settle their sex problems? “With incomparable delicacy Emma Dunn reveals to us the wealth of tenderness, the depth of feeling, and the vitality of sentiment in old age. And it makes life more beautiful for us all. “Old Lady 31” is so gopd a ■work of art that I wonder how any one had the courage to produce it.” The bill includes gazette, comedy, and “Elmo the Fearless.” To-morrow’s new bill presents Olive Thomas in “The Flapper,” Selznick’s glorious production.
