ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. A BIG DOUBLE FOX BILL. To-night’s new bill at the People’s presents a double star programme of unusual merit. The expert horsemanship of Buck Jones, the Fox star, in his latest Fox picture, “Get Your Man,” is finely displayed in this offering. In the later scenes Jones appears as a NorthWestern Mounted Police officer, and only one who was practically born in the saddle could hold up under the hard riding he is compelled to do in these scenes. Two new stars shining brightly in the motion picture firmament are Edna Murphy and Johnny Walker, who make their first appearance at the head of their own company in a lively picture produced by William Fox, anil called “Live Wires.” Edna is a sweet-faced, blue-eyed, fair-haired girl with a very pleasing screen personality, ana Johnnie is there with stuff that wins the hearts of both young and old. He gets the crooks in fine style, and' ?Edna lends a hand without the least timidity. Bad men who get into the way of this pair are in for some bad bumps. Johnnie does a thrilling airplane stunt in the picture, climbing from a train by the dangling ladder of a speeding plane to get to college in time to help the boys win the big game of the season.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE LEOPARD WOMAN.” “The Leopard Woman,” the starring attraction at Everybody’s, concluding totpight, presents Louise Glaum in the title role of a picture that is wonderful in scope, tremendous in dramatic worth, and inevitable in appeal. The story, from the by Stewart Edward White, bears the same hall mark as that of “Sahara,” “Sex,” and “The Lone Wolf’s Daughter.” In the opposite role to Miss Glaum is House Peters, as a scientist explorer who finds his way blocked by a mysterious and beautiful woman, known to him as the Leopard Woman. Then follows the elemental conflict of a strong man with a determined woman, against a primitive and inspiring setting—the wilds of African Congo. Both lose their fight against love, however, and the wonderful romance, told by Steward Edward White, loses nothing of its telling as a picture play. The big Harold Lloyd comedy special, “Hand to Mouth,” and gazettes, are also on this bill. .
