ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S.

“JACQUES OF THE SILVER NORTH.”

We have seen Mitehell Lewis, the typical man of the great outdoors, with his great hulking form and gigantic strength in some splendid thrilling and vital pictures. In “Jacques of the Silver North,” his latest Select Picture, he has the greatest role of his screen career. As Jacques La Rouge, the halfbreed, who* is in love with Memory Baird, the pride of the camp,, he gives a striking and lovable characterisation of the man of the North-west. A story alive with action, smiles and pathos, “Jacques of the Silver North” will appeal to everyone. Vivid, alive, stirring, a typical story of the North, this picture will hold your interest from start to finish. It is not like one of those many pictures, so-called Northern pictures because they contain some heavy set men and a couple of snow scenes; “Jaques of the Silver North” has a plot —a good plot which never drags, but is loaded with suspense. Mitchell Lewis as the canuck trapper, who loved with a love that is almost beyond human comprehension. is one of the most wonderful characters the screen has ever seen. Great of soul, with the gentleness of a baby and ferocity of a wolf, his devotion to the girl is like that of a dog to its master. The bill includes Gazette, Travel and Interest films, and the matinee to-morrow commences at 2 p.m. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “FOOLS’ GOLD.” “Fools’ Gold,” a thrilling screen drama of the Alaskan minefields featuring popular Mitch Lewis, screens finally tonight at the People’s. The background is a Western mining country with scenes full of variety and interest. Director Lawrence Trimble has made his big scenes with crowds as convincing as he has the bits of humanity he pictures in cabin, parlor., office, mine or woodland. “Elmo the Fearless” No. 10, Gazette, and Christie comedy are also shown. “THE POINT OF VIEW” TO-MORROW. In the big popularity contest that is being held in the United States, Elaine Kammerstein, the clever Selznick star, is well up in the list and will run some of the old favorites very close for the first prize. This beautiful and clever girl has come to the front quite recently and has proved her great ability in several of the Selznick plays. She is always sincere and impressive and convinces the spectator by the reality of her work. Tn her latest offering, “The Point of View,” the critics agree that she reaches even a higher standard than before. She is fortunate in having a fine story. “The Point of View” is a picture adaptation of the successful play of the same name by Edith Ellis and tells of the adventures of real people in a real way. This film opens the. matinee to-morrow at 2
