ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE INSIDE OF THE CUP.” WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A strong dramatic story, interpreted by a highly capable aggregation of players, has been produced by the wellknown director, Albert Capellani, from Winston Churchill’s sensational novel, “Inside the Cup,” which occasioned so memorable a controversy on its publication a few’ years ago. The story deals with real people whom all alike will understand. It fairly teems with little human touches and spectacular incidents which lend to it attractiveness and value. The doctrine of the helping hand which it expounds is one that has universal appeal, and the picturisat ion of such a story, teeming with thrilling scenes and possessing such a great heart appeal, cannot fail to inspire. It -is without doubt a soul-stirring production. This exceptional picture production is announced to be screened at Everybody’s on Wednesday and Thursday, and has already aroused considerable interest in the town. There is a steady demand for seats, and those patrons desirous of securing favorite positions should reserve at Collier’s without delay. VIRGINIA RAPPE AND CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG.

To-night’s new bill presents a big double star attraction, with the late Virginia Rappe featured in her First National comedy production. “A Twilight Baby,” and Clara Kimball Young in her big “Equity” drama “Straight from Paris.” A picture that enlarges the familiar phrase “all men are equal,” to include the weaker sex, comes with refreshing novelty under the title of “Straight from Paris.” In this, her latest photo-drama, Clara Kimball Young portrays the part of a working girl whose fascination brings her into the most exclusive social world of the smart set. With irresistible beauty, she magnetises the attentions of one aristocrat after another, and leads the scions of aristocracy a merry chase. The climax comes when her identity as a poor shop girl is discovered, and the fundamental problem of a girl’s status in the social ladder is confronted. That birth is a mere accident, and that genuine worth is measured by what you are, not what your parents are, is forcefully brought home in the development of this exciting romance. “Straight from Paris” is certainly a timely theme, and will make the hearts of girls and men rejoice at the spirit of fair play and equality that it upholds. Patrons may reserve at Collier’s. ,
