ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. “MORAL FIBRE.” TO-NIGHT, The big attraction on the bill at Everybody’s to-night is “Moral Fibre,” starring Corinne Griffith. This popular little Vitagraph star is steadily adding to her popularity and she ventures into a new field in. this, her latest drama. Throughout the early scenes she appears as a girl of fifteen, knee skirted and sun bonnet and with all the abandon of youth. Later, a lapse of five years, she is a well poised young woman, making her way alone in the world and intent on one purpose—-the taking of an eye for an eye and a tooth fcr a tooth, from a married woman who, in the ■spirit of fun, flirted with the young girl’s brother and brought misfortune upon him. A pretty little love story develops during the action of the play, which serves to teach the heroine that vengeance is not hers to- take. The play is full of action throughout and furnishes bright snappy entertainment. There are some excellent supporting pictures. “WAY DOWN EAST” AGAIN TOMORROW. Tlie management at Everybody's announce in this issue that “Way Down East” will be shown again at both sessions to.morrow.

When love enters her life many dramatic scenes ensue, combining to make one of the most thrilling pictures of New York stage life that has ever been shown.
