ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. MARY MILES MINTER IN “THE EYES OF JULIA DEEP.” Not many male hearts- could resist a flutter, at least a tiny one, when Mary of the three M’s, Miles and Minter, throws a glance their way, and in the “Eyes of Julia Deep” (Julia being Deep by name, and the eyts deep by nature), those eyes cause lots of consternation among susceptible young males. The story, although a department store girl is the heroine, is nevertheless fresh and novel, keeping away from the old and well trodden paths that have been much used te past pictures. Comedy is interspersed with the more serious vein in masterly manner, and surprises keep cropping up with astounding frequency. “The Eyes of Julia Deep” is a picture that could offend none, and really please everybody. The screening nights are to-night and to-morrow at Everybody’s. The supporting programme includes two special double reel comedies with a laugh to the foot. THE EMPIRE, SHOW NIGHTS. VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES. To-night and to-morrow night (show nights) the Empire Theatre will be open with a selected programme of motion pictures,\ headed by the “Nordisk” feature, “The Lion Tamer,” a gripping story of circus life, introducing all the thrills and glamor of the sawdust ring. The picture programme will include Vitagraph drama, “Thq Governor’s Daughter,” and two comedies, one of which will be a humorous Fatty Arbuckle picture. The programme will also introduce the much discussed “Live Teddy Bear” (owned and trained by Cecil Verne) in his unique performance, and Cecil Verne in his own speciality act, “Charlie at the Party,” a real live Chaplin act in which Mr. Verne haM appeared with huge success in all the principal towns of Australia. MATINEE" TO-DAY AT 3.30. To enable the children to see the Teddy Bear and the Chaplin act there will be a special matinee this afternoon at 3.30,' when the kiddies will be admitted for sixpence.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT GF Wm. RUSSELL AND SHIRLEY MASON. “Eastward Ho.” William Russell’ts big six-reel Fox western play, and “Merely Mary Ann,” darling Shirley* Mason’s latest hit which delighted a large audience last night at the People’s, screen finally to-night at the People’s. This bill is without doubt Fbx’s strongest double event for a long time and it should not be missed. Columns of words have been written upon “luck,” what it is, its variagated forms, its relation to opportunity, and so on and so forth; all of which goes to prove that whether one believes in luck or not, certainly everyone is interested in it. This universal interest in “luck” is the first element of success to be found in a new British film, “Silver Lining.” The second element is the atmosphere of sport; and the third, the featuring of Bombardier Billy Wells. There are other factors which contribute to the success of this picture, but those mentioned are certainly the mainstay of a most interesting entertainment. The sports featured include sculling, flying, fighting, and horse-racing, find each of the four brings its own excitement and thrills. The story is with a strong romantio flavor. ’Right from the beginning “luck” plays against the hero—although it must be confessed that the villain and villainess supply the “bad luck” to order. For clean, wholesome entertainment, “Silver Lining’” would be hard to beat, and it provides one of the most pleasing methods of spending an enjoyable hour that one could wish for.
