ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “FELIX O’DAY.” Full of incident, with dramatic moments and strong heart interest, is H. B. Warner’s starring vehicle at Everybody’s, concluding to-night, entitled “Felix O’Day,” adapted from a well known novel by Hopkinson Smith. In the title role Warner has another of those roles that fit him as though written specially for him. He is the polished gentleman and sportsman with a lovable character to the life, and the amount of real humanness he infuses into a tragic part makes it alone worth seeing. A specially selected cast is seen in support of the star in this unusual production, which is easily in the front rank of pictures that are more than usually interesting. The bill includes gazettes, interest, and comedy films. THE PEOPLE’S. ALICE. LAKE IN “UNCHARTED SEAS.” “Uncharted Seas,” a Metro special adapted from the Munsey Magazine short story of John Fleming Wilson, comes to the People’s to-night with Alice Lake in the stellar role. The marvellous combination of a gripping story from the pen of the above short story writer, and the supreme acting of Miss Lake is enough to insure an evening of unequalled pleasure and thrills to all that see it. She had forgiven him so many times that her pleasureloving husband thought his long-suffering wife would stand for anything, and in his selfish carousals he tried it, with the result that under the pale glow of the northern lights a tangled romance is unfolded in a manner to make the onlooker hold his breath. What that roihance is, Alice Lake portrays in the Metro picture “Uncharted Seas.” The bill includes gazette, comedy, and “The Diamond Queen.”

THE EMPIRE. LAST NIGHT OF SNOWY BAKER. The big E. J. and Dan Carroll production “The Jackaroo of Coolabong,” featuring Snowy Baker, concludes its season tonight at the Empire. There’s laughter, love, and life in this story of infinite spaces, enacted under the arc of Heaven' with scenes of daring adventure and picturesque beauty that make you feel it’s good to be alive. Here are some of the biggest scenes. A whirlwind kangaroo drive right up into the camera lenses with dozens of kangaroos and hundreds of stockmen and bush women in full flight. A death encounter with wild aboriginals and their amazing devil dance and corroboree. A 60ft. dive into the harbor from the 4th story window of a wool store at Circular Quay, Sydney. A fight for liberty against terrific odds in Sydney’s underworld, and it is made in Australia by E. J. and Dan Carroll. A big Australian comedy is also shown. Seats may be reserved at Collier’s.
