ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LOUISE BURNHAM AND PEACHES JACKSON IN “LAHOMA.”<r Lahoma,” a special Pathe feature will be the attraction at Everybody’s to-night. It is a thrilling story of the early days in the known as Oklahoma, when the pioneer settled the soil, and where dangers lurked at every turn as they blazed the trail in a country known to them as No Man’s Land. It was the day of the prairie schooner, the hardy squatter, the little law, hard living, and quick and violent deaths. It was a day vivid and adventurous to a degree. The producer of this feature is a man worthy of me. /on, Edgar Lewis, the producer of “The Barrier,” “The Great Divide,” and “The Bar Sinister.” The action, of the story revolves around Lahoma and Brick Willock, a member of an outlaw band, who saves the girl from the hands of the blood-thirsty villains when they are about to take her life. The cast is a comprehensive one, and the production is one that will be welcomed by All who appreciate historic drama. A big novelty comedy “The Blizzard,” featuring Jimmy Aubrey is a new departure in fun films and is said to be a 30 minute scream. Seats may be reserved at Collier’s.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF TOM MIX IN “THE NIGHT HORSEMEN.” To review a Tom Mix picture is always a pleasure, because, while the writer is viewing the picture to tell the public about it, he knows he is sure of making a pleasure of business. The new Tom Mix picture which William Fox presents finally to-night at the People’s Theatre certainly makes anyone forget business. It is thrilling. It is entertaining. It has what the motion picture folk call the “big punch.” It is so fast in its action that the lights go on and the show is over when you feel that you have been watching the picture for only a few minutes. Yet “The Night Horsemen” takes over an hour to show. Mix does some wonderful riding—some spinethrilling stunts. The story is novel—the romance holding. “The Night Horsemen,” by the way, is from Max Brand’s novel “Wild Geese” and is a sequel to “The Untamed,” in which Mix appeared a short time ago. His characterisation of Whistling Dan is a splendid piece of work. A screaming “Sunshine” comedy and gazettes are also shown.
