ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. “THE KID” AGAIN TO-NIGHT. SEASON FURTHER EXTENDED. The wonderful reception “The Kid” received again last night from another crowded house at the People’s has decided the management to extend the season for yet another night, as there are still hundreds anxious to see this picture, and hundred? more who want to see it yet again. Many of those associated with Charlie Chaplin in his screen career have pronounced it 'impossible that he appear in his screen character in a semi-dramatic story and succeed in gaining sympathy as" well as laughs from his audiences in the 'plight which the plot developed. In “The Kid,” however, he accomplishes it. Charlie is there in the same character which has gained him the place as the world’s most popular comedian, but in situations which combine an occasional sob with shrieks of laughter. Charlie becomes the guardian of a two weeks’ old baby, and expends upon him all the love and devotion that any father could. His character, however, makes his every attempt a humorous circumstance, but the heart throbs are ever present in the main theme of the story. There will be a. complete change of supporting films to-night, headed by the Fox feature, “Bucking the Line,” with Maurice Flynn in the lead. EVERYBODY’S. CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN “WEDDING BELLS.” “Wedding Bells.” from the stage play by Salisbury Field, will Be screened at Everybody’s for the last time tonight. This feature stars the ever popular Connie Talmadge, with Harrison Ford as her leading man. The story is set in Palm Beach and New York city, and involves the caprices of a young man and a younger girl who has a will of her own. As Rosalie Wayne, Miss Talmadge falls in love with a rich, young, and handsome New Yorker, who happens to be summering at the same Palm Beach hotel where she resides. Their introduction is brought a"bout as a reJfilt of a poodle dog, and what follows is just about as strange and humorous as any comedy the screen has given us. There is a strofig supporting cast in the picture, which is announced as one of the big attractions of the season. The programme also includes a good two-reel comedy.
