ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. REX BEACH’S “THE GIRL FROM OUTSIDE.” “The Girl from Outside/’ commencing to-night at the People’s, a Goldwyn picture by Rex Beach, is a real tale of the North-West, which its author knows so well. It deals with the adventures of a young girl, whose father dies on a trip to Nome, Alaska, where he is going to recuperate, he hopes, his shattered fortunes. June, his daughter, lands an orphan in a land which knows only one type of woman, hard-living, hard-fight-ing, an orphan in a land in which innocene and honesty is an exotic bower. From the outset of her entrance into the town, her destiny is shaped by the friendship of the Curly Kid, a young crook, and four scallywag friends, and the enmity of Denton, a gambler. Later, she meets Harry Hope, a local capitalist, and her romance begins. The bill includes gazette, comedy and “The Diamond. Queen.”

EVERYBODY’S. A WONDERFUL MOTION PICTURE. ' “THE INSIDE OF THE CUP.” A remarkable picture, filled with exceptionally thrilling scenes, the story thoroughly human—that was the verdict of the big audience, which witnessed the first display of “The Inside of the Cup,” a Paramount super production, at Everybody’s Theatre last night. The opinion was a just one, for this production is one of the best seen at this Theatre for many months. When Winston Churchill’s famous novel of the same name was published, in 1913, it was bitterly criticised by clergymen as being an unwarranted attack upon the cloth, whHe the philosophy of the novel is exploited to some extent in the picture. This necessarily has been subordinated to the dramatic interest of the story itself, the result being a delightfully captivating picture, which will please almost any film fan. The picture was excellently produced by Albert Capellani, and the players chosen for the various roles are far above the average in point of intelligence’and artistry. The impersonations by William P. Carleton, leading man, and Edith Hallor, leading woman, were brilliantly sustained. Mention should be made of David Torrence, Jack Bohn and Marguerite Clayton. The final screening takes place tonight, and seats for this session can be booked at Collier’s any time during the day.
