ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “GO AND GET IT.” It is quite safe to say that no more thrilling “mile-a-minute” screen play than “Go and Get It,” concluding tonight at Everybody’s, has ever been produced. There are so many real thrills, and so much abeorbing interest in this astonishing drama, that mere words cannot describe its fascination. “Go and Get It,” four words well known to every newspaper man, is an ample title, and surely never was a play or picture shown that contained such an admirable tribute to the reporter. Perils dud excitement are the order of this big feature, which contains aerial stunts on the part of Pat O’Mally, in the role of a young reporter, hot on tlje scent of a big and baffling mystery, that are simply awesome; in addition the theme is enthralling enough by itself, that of the transference of the brain of a criminal to a huge gorilla, who afterwards becomes a sort of Frankenstein. The character of Ferre the ape, as portrayed by Bull Nontana is nothing short of marvellous. Wesley Barry, whose freckles have made him famous, has a large share of the honors. Intending patroiis will be well advised to reserve seats at Collier’s. THE PEOPLES. BUCK JONES AND EILEEN PERCY. Buck Jones, usually identified with cowboy characters, departs from this line in “The Big Punch,” but still has opportunity for daring stunts which have helped make him famous. It is by his remarkable acting in the part of a circuit rider, however, that he scores so heavily in this picture. The story of “The Big Punch” is original in the extreme, and carries a theme of unusual power. It contains a beautiful love romance and many tense dramatic situations—some of which have been daringly treated. The supporting east is excellent. Eileen Percy appears in “The Tomboy,” a charming story of fun and frolic with a touch of pathos, and Fox Gazettes are also on the bill.
