ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S.

LOUISE GLAUM IN “SEX.”

To-night’s new bill at Everybody’s presents the big Parker-Read film play “Sex,” featuring Louise Glaum. A woman whose philosophy was to “get everything out of life and let the consequences take care of themselves” —a woman whose creed rebounds on herself like a boomerang, and leaves her to face the future barren of love and happiness, and all the things that make life worth living—that is the role that is magnificently portrayed by Louise Glaum in “Sex,” a Parker-Read production that helped materially to put the name of the director on the motion picture map as a member of the “Big Six.” Seldom is it the good fortune of any audience to gee such a lavish production that has comibned with it a telling story of real dramatic power logically and interestingly presented. “Sex” may startle a few people, but will furnish food for thought for thinkers. The bill includes “Dragon’s Net,” gazette and comedy.

THE PEOPLE’S.

LAST NIGHT OF “THE POINT OF VIEW.”

“The Poiht of View,” a real story of real people, featuring beautiful Elaine Hammerstein, screens finally to-night. The bill includes gazette, comedy, and “Smashing Barriers.” BUCK JONES AND EILEEN PERCY TO-MORROW.

Buck Jones, in his latest William Fox production, “Just Pals,” will open at the People’s to-morrow night. “Just Pals” is described as a stirring romance of the western country, speedy in action, and seasoned with comedy. It concerns the comradeship of a homeless man and a nameless boy, and the man’s love for a charming girl school teacher in a small town. Thrills are supplied by such incidents as a proposed lynching and an attempted bank robbery. Eileen Percy will be featured in “The Land of Jazz,” a furious 5-reel comedy drama.
