ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. WILLIAM RUSSELL AND SHIRLEY MASON. Who ever heard of a Western dramatic hero who didn’t carry a gun? That is just what happens in “Bare Knuckles,” the new William Russell picture made under the direction of James Patrick Hogan and produced by William Fox, which comes to the People’s to-night. Tim McGuire, the role played by Russell, is a diamond in the rough. In his early days he won by right of might. His method of bending those under him to his will gained for him the title “Brute” McGuire. In the story there are enemies and jealousies to be conquered, but he accomplishes this after several desperate fights that are the acme of stage realism. Through it all Russell, as “The • Brute,” never uses a weapon. On the same bill Shirley Mason appears in “The Lamplighter,” and Fox gazettes are also shown.

EVERYBODY’S. “DINTY” MATINEE TO-DAY AT 3.30. The wonderful picture, “Dinty,” a Marshall Neilan production featuring the world’s wonder boy actor, Wesley Barry, screens again at the special matinee to-day at 3.30, and concludes tonight. So much has been said and written of this film that it only remains to be seen. Matinee prices are adults Is 6d and Is, children fid. To-morrow’s new bill presents charming Billy Rhodes in “The Lamb and the Lion.” The story of a waif who became an experiment of a rich woman is admirably visualised by dainty Billie Rhodes in “The Lamb and the Lion.” Born a lady, reared in a den of thieves, taught to be a housebreaker, transplanted into a home of aristocratic refinement, “Boots” has many exciting experiences as a sociologicial experiment. The happy, Petite Billy is seen at her best in this clever story of the underworld and the uppercrust.
