ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. A JACK LONDON brECIAL FILM. TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW. A thrilling picture of life on a sailing vessel Ebund on a voyage round the Horn is revealed in “The Mutiny of the Elsinore,” the special production with an all-star cast led by Mitchell Lewis, a striking figure in virile roles. The picture may best be described as one which makes one’s hair rise, for it develops of all the power inherent in the source itself, that of Jack London’s stirring story of a conflict between strong men of the sea. More than this, however, the picture presents an arresting portrayal of life on a sailing ship, where the mutiny of the gangster crew, who have been recruited from the dives of ’Frisco, is put down by the iron hand of John Pike, the sailing vessel’s first mate. The bill includes Gazette, comedy and Wm. Dunean in the opening episode of his tremendous fighting serial, “The Silent Avenger.”

THE EMPIRE. “THE KEEPER~OF THE DOOR” TO-NIGHT. A picture with an appeal to booklovers is announced to be screened at the Empire Theatre to-night and tomorrow. It is from Ethel M. Dell’s famous story, “The Keeper of the Door,” a romance which commences in England and takes the reader to a restless little village on the Indian frontier. Here numerous adventures are encountered, including a plot by the Natives to do away with the political resident and his party. “The Keeper of the Door” is entirely British, and the producers are to be congratulated on the masterly manner in which they have handled the subject. The atmosphere of old England is faithfully reproduced by the opening scene, depleting the ivy-covered priory around which so much action takes place, and there are also many glimpses of wood and dell. The prices of this all-British super-production will be: Dress circle 2s, stalls Is 6d (plus tax).. As the season is positively limited to two nights intending patrons would be wise to reserve their seats at Collier’s without de< lay. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF ALICE JOYCE. Popular Alice Joyce appears finally to-night in her big Vitagraph feature, “Dollars and the Woman,” a screen play of the problems of to-day. The bill includes Gazette, comedy and “Smashing Barriers.” TOM MIX SUPER-PLAY, “THE UNTAMED” TO-MOBiROW. Persons familiar with that unusual novel by Max Brand, “The Untamed,” will welcome the announcement that Toin Mix, the Fox daredevil cowboy star, will be seen at the People’s to-morrow in a picture adapted from, the book. Mix enacts the role of “Whistling Dan,” the weird superman, about whom all the action revolves. For his two constant and inseparable companions, Satan, the fiery black stallion, nad Black Bart, the devil dog, two beautiful animals were especially trained on the Fox lot. Exploits showing the daring and skill of Mix, which are always a feature of a Mix picture, are generously distributed (throughout the story, which lends itself finely to situations of the sensational order. This is a Wm. I*ox sevenreel super-play and acclaimed the world over as Tom’s greatest picture.
