ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. CONWAY TEARLE IN “MAROONED HEARTS.” “Marooned Hearts,” featuring Conway Tearle, is the big new feature on to-day’s programme commencing at the matinee at 2 p.m. It is a terrific story of high society and adventures in Japan and the South Seas and is easily one of Selznick’s best productions. The bill includes Gazette, comedy and “The Moonriders,” EVERYBODY’S. ALICE BRADY IN “REDHEAD.” “Redhead,” the Alice Brady feature concluding to-night at Everybody’s, is the story of a wealthy young mau-about-town, who marries a cabaret girl on a bet while under the influence of liquor. Later, they both regret it, but she decides that as long as she has taken him “for better or for worse” she may as well make a man of him. She succeeds, but the path proves steep and rocky and she is forced to suffer much humiliation and many heart-aches. The picture is a human one—the story of a human man and a human woman with their good and their bad sides. “Redhead” is the kind of a picture that will leave a pleasant taste in your mouth. The bill includes gazettes and comedy, and the matinee to-day commences at 2 p.m. The big new attraction for Monday presents Upton Sinclair’s “The Money Changers.” THE PEOPLE’S. “SKIRTS” NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. In view of the fact that it is to be shown at the People’s next Tuesday and Wednesday, of special interest to photoplay patrons of this city is the announcement from William Fox of the release of “Skirts.” This is the first six act film of its type the motion picture industry has yet produced and marks a radical departure from the usual form of comedy entertainment. The cast presented in “Skirts,” contains such notable entertainers as the Singer Midget Troupe, Harry Gribbon, Chester Conklin, Dorothy Lee, Slim Summerville, Jack Cooper, Ethel Teare, Rosa Gore and Bobbie Dunn. The advent of the Singer Midgets as a sensational feattire of “Skirts” is a landmark in comedy production. The Midgets are by far the most remarkable aggregation of small people that ever stepped before an audience. “Skirts” is built on gigantic lines, and is the most expensive comedy ever screened. According to William Fox, the producer, nine months were spent in staging it. Every member of the Fox comedy forces, including three thousand Sunshine widows, was recruited for this monster laugh-raiser, A special ma £j‘ nee on Wednesday commences at 3.30 p.m.
