ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. MITCH LEWIS IN FOOL’S GOLD. To-night’s new bill presents big Mitch Lewis in “Fool’s Gold”, an Arrow film picture of the great goldmining districts of northern Alaska. Mitch Lewis is supported by Florence Turner, who returns to the screen in a gripping play. There are two love stories. The first is unhappy, but in the second generation the children get the happiness their parents missed. Florence Turner again and again puts dramatic power in her role. Mitchell Lewis draws a sterling character getting polish but remaining true, while Sarah Truex, as this man’s wife, draws an accenting of unpleasant selfishness. Evelyn Brent, as the younger generation heroine, shows her marked ability. There is no poorly played character. The -bill includes gazette, Christie comedy and “Elmo the Fearless.” EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE BLUE BANDANNA”. William Desmond, whose Celtic map has become one of the strongest assets ■ in Robertson-Cole releases, is now eligible for membership in the kitchen mechanics’ union. Bill has “housemaid’s knee”; also blisters on his lily-white hands. Bill goes through a hectic course of the duties of a light-running domestic in “The Blue Bandanna”, concluding tonight at Everybody’s, his latest production, which is a thrilling Western drama with Desmond in the role of a wealthy young Easterner who goes to the “wild and woolly” for his health. In order to be near the girl who captures his heart, he accepts a position as assistant housekeeper at the girl’s home. To see the husky star peeling onions’, making up beds and serving the soup would make a mummy laugh. The boys at the ranch dub him “Lizzie”, but Bill turns loose on his tormentors, and after dousing them with dish-water, dusts off the road with their hard-boiled physiognomies. The bill includes gazette, comedy and “Bride 13” No. 1.
