ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF CLARA K. YOUNG IN “HUSH.” Some wonderful effects in the matter of picturesque and elaborate sets have been secured in Clara Kimball Young’s latest picture “Hush,” which will be shown for the last time to-night at Everybody’s. The interior scenes, including drawing rooms, reception galleries, and boudoir sets, are of extremely elaborate make-ups, and, it is said, run the cost of this production into an enormous total. Written by Sada Cowan, author of “Why Change Your Wife,” this story is full of drama. The theme is original, and the action gallops along at top speed until the very last fades out in the final scene. The bill includes gazette and the two-reel special “Mermaid” comedy, “High and Dry.” To-morrow’s change presents popular Earle Williams in the Vitagraph drama of adventure and intrigue, “The Silver Par.” THE PEOPLE’S. TOM MIX TO-NIGHT. From all reports Mix’s latest Fox picture, “After Your Own Heart,” is a humdinger—as good as any picture in which he has ever appeared, if not a little better. This story was written by William Wallace Cook, and he has given Tom something unprecedented to do — use airplanes and autos as the latest additions to ranch equipment. And it’s no secret that Tom can drive art auto as well as he can ride a horse. So you see that Tom is unique in motion pictures. Star, author, director, stunt man, slick rider, driver of autos, trainer o-f horses that he has made almost as famous as himself—a big point this—a fine chap outside of pictures; a fellow who hasn’t had to change the size of his hatband, metaphorically, from 6 7-8 to 9j. Mix has more good stuff in “After Your Own Heart” than he has had in any other recent picture, and he gets away with it all in true Mixian fashion. “After your Own Heart” will be shown at the People’s Theatre to-night and tomorrow. A big Sunshine comedy is also on the bill. It is entitled “The Perfect Villain.”

THE EMPIRE. LAST NIGHT OF THE “DEMPSEYCARPENTIER FIGHT.” The romantic career of the young Frenchman Georges Carpentier has been followed by hero-worshippers of both sexes in every country of the world. His sensational exploits as an aviator in the great war, his successful appearance in the role of film-actor, his successive victories over the best fighters that Europe coifld produce, his alleged hypnotic power over heavier and stronger opponents—all these factors contributed to the world-wide interest evoked by Carpentier’s meeting with Jack Dempsey at Jersey City on July 2 last. The graphic film story of events leading up to, and including the actual fight, was presented at the Empire last night to a house crowded with enthusiastic spectators. The picture is intensely interesting throughout its five reels and it is certain another large crowd will seek admission to the final exhibition to-night. For those wishing to reserve, box plans are at Collier’s.
