ENTERTAINMENTS.

(EVERYBODY’S. ANITA STEWART IN "THE YELLOW TYPHOON.’’ ‘'Yellow” because »of her hair, “Typhoon” because of the human wreckage she left in her wake, “The Yellow Typhoon.” They called her after the manner of the Orient, where she was notorious for ifaer vamp'ish escapade, such is Anita Stewart in the big special production “The Yellow Typhoon,” to be shown at Everybody’s, Monday and Tuesday. “The Yellow Typhoon” is a story of gay, bright lights of various cities all around the globe. It takes one from New York to London, Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo, Shanghai, Manila, and back to New York, in a mad swirl across continents in pursuit of the most daring adventuress jof fiction, and the character that made Harold McGrath’s novel one of the big successes of the year. There is action in every foot, and not a moment without its modicum of suspense and wonderment at what is to come. And Anita Stewart in the two widely divergent roles she enacts doe« some of the ‘best work of her career. Box plans are now open at Collier’s. A fine double bill is showing at Everybody’s this afternoon and finally ■bonight. Two old favorites in the person of June Elvidge and Montague Love, st&r in a world film feature “The Quickening Flame,” and two popular vitagraph 'Stars, Nell Shipman and Alf Whitman have the lead in “A Gentleman’s Agreement.” THE PEOPLE’S. OLIVE THOMAS IN “THE FLAPPER.” In her newest Selznick picture, “The Flapper,” impish Olive Thomas brings to the screen one of the most delightful comedy plays in which she yet has performed. The title itself speaks for the nature of the picture and as a moonstruck, mimicking and self-deluded “flap - per” lovely Olive is at the height of her exquisite self. In this new play Olive Thomas has a role that is ideally suited to her splendid,talents. As the boarding school “flapper” just beginning her entrance into womanhood, wild with the thoughts of romance and adventure, Miss Thomas is seen at her best. It would be difficult to imagine a more suitable role for the star or a funnier theme with which to display her talents. The bill includes gazette, interest and “Tih Minh No. 8.” The matinee to-day commences at 2 p.m.
