ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S.

■THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.”

“The Last of the Mohicans,” Maurice Tourneur’s special picture, which, comes to Everybody’s Theatre to-night, was one book selected, from 70, written by J. Fenhnore Cooper, for public school use. Tourneur realised this when, he decided to film it, because he knew that it would appeal to everyone. The grandeur of the big hills plays its part in the picture, and nature, in its varying moods of storm and calm, lends the usual Tourneur atmosphere of beauty and artistry. “The Last of the Mohicans” is a story too well known to need repetition, but the sweet love tale, with the humor and pathos, thrills and exciting moments, is one that will cause every beholder to gasp—then laugh, then gulp—for it is intensely human, intensely real, and replete with historical events that thrill. It is a picture no one should miss. A big Christie special comedy and. gazettes are also on the bill.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “WORLDS APART.” To-night concludes the season of the big Selznick production, “Worlds Apart,” featuring Eugene O’Brien and Olive Tell. “Worlds Apart” is a teeming drama of life and love in ’Frisco’s Chinatown. The bill includes gazettes, comedy and “The Moonrider sl”

The Californian Redwoods are the setting for a powerful story of love and adventure, entitled “The Man Who Dared,” a new Fox photoplay starring William Russell, which is to open at the Peoples’ Theatre to-morrow. Advance reports indicate that Russell here has a starring vehicle well suited to him. He plays the part of a lumberjack boss who commits a sin in order to hold the love of a girl, and is led to. repentance and atonement.
