ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN “THE LOVE EXPERT Proclaimed by critics to be the most delightfully original screen . comedy of the year just faffed out, Constance Taimadge’s ‘Loye Expert” lives up to its reputation every minute of its six reels. Popular conception is the theme note of the picture. For instance, this is the day of experts, and what is more natual, if unexpected, than a “Love Expert,” and Connie is the young, romantic school girl who takes it oh herself to develop the original science of the 'heart and its emotions. All the scenes wherein she unwinds the plot of the £tOTy, and in order to get for herself the man she loves, has to get married off two impossible sisters apd a deaf aud decrepit old punt, are productive of screams of laughter. Yet with all the faroicial comedy that is introduced there h a. grain of possibility that makes the picture fill the more delightful entertainment. “The Love Expert” shows to-night and to-mor-row night, and is supported by the final episode of “The Vanishing Dagger,” and ■ the opening episode of “The Dragon’s Net.”

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF OLIVE THOMAS. A play of rare scenic splendours, of deep emotional moments, of -stirring dramatic incidents, finely acted and superbly directed is the hew Selznick picture, “Out Yonder.” The yoie of in which Miss Olive Thomas -is cast, is totally different from any which she tbps far essayed. Flotsam' is a ragged little girl of the sea, a daughter of the lighthouse-keeper, whose life is spent on -a lonely reef in the Atlantic. No place here for the gorgeous creations of the French modistes that the fair Olive has heretofore shown to such advantage, and she yet never before made a greater appeal or been more charming. The bill includes “Smashing Barriers” No. 12, Gazette and comedy. To-morrow’s new bill presents Wm. Farnum in his latest super-play, “HeartStrings,” and the big Sunshine comedy, “His Wife’s Caller.”
