ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. NAOMI CHILDERS IN “COURAGE.” A rare bit of screen entertainment is .assured patrons of Everybody's to-night and to-morrow, when “Courage,” with beautiful Naomi Childers in the leading role, will be the attraction. “Courage” is an adaptation .of Andrew Soutar’s famous and intensely interesting novel. This is a wonderful story of romance, of tragedy, of pathos and happiness., with some very human sidelights in bonnie Scotland thrown in for good measure. And through it all runs the great theme—courage. A gripping drama of lofty purpose, it is not only an extraordinary piece of entertainment, but it is a tonic for nil humanity as well. Among the sterling players who will be seen in support of Naomi Childers are Sam de Grasee and Lionel Belmore. “Courage” is a First National attraction. The prices of admission remain as usual. THE PEOPLE’S.. “PLAYING WITH FIRE.” Gladys Walton is fast becoming one of the most popular female stare in light, sparkling comedy parts, and her latest picture, “Playing With Fire.” gives the gifted little star abundant opportunities to show her versatility. “Playing With Fire” was screened for the first time at the People’s last evening, and was warmly received by a large audience. Miss Walton appears as a girl in humble circumstance who has a craving to mix with the “four hundred.” How she gets her desire and finally comes to earth again is shown in this five-reel feature, and provides botn comedy and drama. The popular star has never appeared to better advantage. “Playing With Fire” will be screened again to-night for the last time. Tomorrow, commencing at the matinee, the People’s will screen the big Selzniek sensation, “Reported Missing.” with Owen Moore in the leading role. Seats may be reserved at Collier’s.
