EVERYBODY’S. VIOLET HOPSON AND STEWART ROME. An all-British attraction commencing at Everybody’s to-night is the Broad-' west special production “Her Son,” featuring Violet Hopson and Stewart Rome The story loses not a jot of its attractiveness on the screen, and care has been lavished on it, with the result that goo I entertainment is there in wholesale quantities. Violet Hopson acts a difficult role with reserve and carries conviction by her interpretation. Stewart Rome is a handsome and debonair hero. The bill includes gazettes, Travel, and “The Invisible Hand.” THE PEOPLE’S. BIG MATINEE TO-DAY AT 3.30. That famous old Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme, “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” is brought to life in a manner calculated to tickle the hearts of children both small and grown up, in “Skirts.” This spectacular six act Fox Sunshine comedy is at the People’s Theatre, where is concludes to-night. But it must not be thought that “Skirts” is merely entertainment for the juvenile mind. Far from it. In conceiving this comedy, William Fox* considered the whole family, with the result that it has features which present a direct appeal to the more mature photoplay patrons. In the presentation of a vast aggregation of Fascinating Sunshine Widows will be found the type of entertainment which has made the big musical comedy so popular. In the tljrills will be found the interest of the big drama. In the amazing variety of its costumes will be found the appeal of the fashion show. In all, “Skirts” will please every photoplay patron who wends his or her way to the People’s Theatre. In this superb new Fox Sunshine comedy spectacle “Skirts,” there are nineteen adults whose combined height is only sixty-six feet and one inch and whose total \ eight is eight hundred and fifty seven pounds. The average height of these persons is three feet five inches, and the average weight forty-five pounds. These diminutives are the Singer Midgets.* The box plan is nt G'oliUr’s.
