ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “ONE HOUR BEFORE DAWN.” Here is a mystery tale to baffle Jeven woman’s intuition; where a man uses his brain to arrive at a conclusion, a woman uses her intuition. Instinctively she knows or feels that which a man reaches only through logical reasoning. But the mystery of “One Hour Before Dawn,” in which H. B. Warner appears at Everybody’s to-night, will baffle a man’s brain and defy a woman’s intuition. “One Hour Before Dawn” is far from -being the usual type of murder mystery, for herein hypnotism plays a prominent part. The question of whether or not H. B. Warner, as the hero, committed the murder while under a hypnotic spell, keeps the audience guessing at every turn. An excellent supporting cast is headed by the beautiful Anna Q. Nilsson, and includes Augustus Phillips and Thomas Guise and many others. The bill includes gazettes, interest, comedy, and “The Lost Oity,” VIRGINIA RAPPE AND CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG. The big special double bill to commence on Monday next, presents the late Virginia Rappe in her big First National comedy production, “A Twilight Baby,” and Clara Kimball Young in her big “Equity” production “Straight from Paris.” “Straight from Paris,” the latest photo-drama starring the supreme Clara Kimball Young, is a ' treat to picture patrons for more than one reason. In this picture of romance, the author, Sada Cowan, has painted a panorama of scenes and action that not only delights the drama devotee, but affords a generous feast to the admirer of beauty and splendor. The highly artistic settings of “Straight from Paris” enables Miss Young to appear in a colorful display of wonderfully smart gowns and apparel, and incidentally introduces the latest French modes to the feminine fashion-fan'eier. The wealth of robes, furs, and fineries of fashion is enough to satiate womenfolks’ furiosity for weeks, and the surrounding of Parisian brilliance merely adds to the luxurious effect of adornment that sets “Straight from Paris” apart from so many inartistic productions. The box plans are now at Collier’s. “THE INSIDE OF THE CUP.” One of the most remarkable picture productions of the current season, “The Inside of the Cup,” a super-production version of Winston Churchill's famous novel, will be shown at Everybody’s for two days, beginning on Wednesday next. When this book was published in 1913, its exposure of hypocrisy among wealthy church-goers provoked bitter criticism by the clergy of England and this country. The hero of the story, as in the picture, is the rector of a fashionable church, who becomes disgusted with certain elements of his flock and severely arraigns them for their shams and hypocrisies. Director Albert Capellani, however, has paid more attention to the dramatic features of the story than to the philosophy which makes the book almost unforgettable. The scenes are thrilling and the heart appeal, culminating in the fruition of a love romance, is irresistible. The cast, headed by William P. Carleton and Edith Bailor, is unusually large and artistic. Seats for this unique motion picture special can now be reserved at Collier’s.

THE PEOPLE’S. "CHILDREN OF DESTINY.” To-day’s new bill at the People’s, commencing at the matinee at 2 p.m., presents the powerfully dramatic Selznick feature drama “Children of Destiny,” featuring beautiful Ruth Hallor. It is a play running the gamut of human emotions shifting its scene from New York to Naples and ba-ck again to America. Miss Hallor is supported by an able cast of players. The bill includes gazettes, comedy and “The Branded Four.” BUCK JONES ON TUESDAY NEXT. Despite the professional pessimist, '‘Westerns” in film drama still hold an impregnable position with screen followers —when they are good drama, clever in construction and sound in sentimental appeal. This is the sort of “Western” with which Buck Jones the noted Fox star, is always identified. Buck is to open at the People’s on Tuesday in “To a Finish”, the story of a cattle ranch conspiracy and a girl worth winning. Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker also appear in a romantic comedy-drama of note, entitled “Play Square”.
