ENTERTAINMENTS.
EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “MAN—WOMANMARRIAGE.” Allen Holubar’s tremendously spectacular drama “Man-Woman-Marriage,” the 'feature attraction at Everybody’s, concluding to-night, is easily, one of the most lavish ever produced. The director who conceived the idea also has brought forth the emancipation of woman in terms of colorful appeal, compelling drama and scenes of spectacular dimensions. The emancipation of woman has been in progress throughout the ages and Holubar simply visualises them in a manner which, can be appreciated by all. The “Wife compares herself to heroic ‘figures of the ages, she progresses toward the emancipation. In her .search for complete independence and happiness she turns the pages of history and becomes a Christian slave, or an Amazon, or a lady of the Elizabethian age. The picture presents a forceftlL argument for womanhood and offers an. entertaining drama into the bargain, Dorothy Phillips is ideal for the leading role and her cast is entirely efficient and runs into some thousands of actors. Intending patrons should reserve at Collfet’a. THE PEOPLE’S. DUSTIN FARNUM IN “THIS PRIMAL LAW.” Dustin Farnum, again a Fox star, will be seen at the People’s to-night and tomorrow in “The Primal Law,” a story of wild times in regions of the West where plotters seek to compel ranchers to sell valuable property for almost nothing, and hard fighting follows. In marked contrast to the struggle between determined men is the touching friendship existing between Brian Wayne, rancher, and his little pal, Bobbie Carson, seven years old, and the scenes between Janice Webb, the lovely Eastern girl, Brian and the boy. Mary Thurman is Farnum’s leading woman. There is a fascinating element of mystery in the story, touches of humor and pathos, and many surprises which occur in startlingly dramatic fashion. A big Sunshine comedy and gazettes are also on the bill. “QP’s” QUALITY PERFORMERS. EMPIRE THEATRE SATURDAY. Everybody will be agreeably surprised with the lavish scale of the Q.P. Musical Comedy Company production. Every item is suitably dressed and receives an appropriate setting. The costumes were made by the Ibest of English theatrical outfitters, while the scenery is by the famous “Clints.” The outfit of the drummer (Mr. Roy Brinsden) alone is said to have cost over .£lOOO. He is the proud possessor of the largest xylophone in the world, an instrument of eight octaves, Mr. Wally Foster, the Now York jazz specialist, has also an instrument of great interest, namely, his trombone. It was made from his own design, and consequently, is the only instrument of its kind in the world. To hear him make that instrument laugh in a jazz number makes you first wonder if he is really getting such a unique effect on a trombone, and then you start laughing for nothing is so infectious as a good laugh, and the laugh of Wally’s trombone is as hearty as John Bull’s in his best mood. The performers are all thorough artists in their respective spheres, and their efforts are all directed to making the entertainment thoroughly enjoyable. The vocalists are supported by an orchestra of talented players, and the musical part of the programme will be exceptionally good. There will he many delightful melodies and harmonies, introducing an almost endless number of instruments, including steel guitar, ukeleles, banjoes, violin, flute, pieolo, cornet, trombone, xylophone, chimes, tubes, ete.
