ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE GOLDEN SNARE” TO-NIGHT. A worthy successor io James Oliver Curwood’s “Nomads of the North” and “Back to God's Country” is “The Golden Snare” by the same popular writer. This remarkable photodrama with a compelling, vital throbbing plot, fairly smacks of the charm and mystery and primitiveness of the Far North country amid which the secnes are laid. Lewis Stone, as a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police selected to bring

back dead or alive Bram Johnson, long wanted fugitive from justice, is the featured player and gives a wonderful characterisation. Wallace Beery plays the hunted Bram Johnson. Ruth Renick portray* the girl Celie. around whom the mystery of the golden snare and the madman of the barrens centres. Other? in the cast are Melbourne McDowell, Wellington Playter. Francis McDonald and Baby Esther Scott. A beautiful romance is interwoven in this ' thrilling tale of the snow country. The photography is remarkable. Night in the Arctic, a. raging blizzard, Bram Johnson driving his pack of savage wolfdog*—these are a few of the striking scenes which will linger long in the memory. This big special attraction shows at Everybody's to-night and tomorrow, and the management announce a special concession in prices. THE .PEOPLE’S.' - “WHY ANNOUNCE YOUR MARRIAGE?” | It’s a “peppy” affair is “'Why Anj nounce Your Marriage?” and Elaine j Hammarstein has never been more | charming than in this role of the independent young person who experi- . ments with marriage. She is one of the | few moving picture actresses who do i not stumble over their own beauty. She i uses her prettiness instead of abusing 1 it, and never forgets that she is playing

a part. She has developed a screen technique that many actresses of twice her years and half her charm cannot equal In the supporting cast are Niles Welch. Florence Billings, Arthur Housman, Frank Currier, Huntly Gordon and other familiar figures. The final screening is announced for to-night.
