ENTERTAINMENTS
THE PEOPLE’S. “IRON TO GOLD.” Dustin Farnum, one of the most popular Fox stars appears to-iilght at the People’s in “Iron to Gold.” The story is a powerful “western,” of life, love and crime in a mining camp. The star enacts the role of a singularly attractive outlaw —in brief, an outlaw who is not a criminal, but a man hounded by tbe law unjustly. Through the tale runs a romance as delightful as the plot is thrilling. There is some delicious comedy in the picture. • Theda Bara also appears on this programme in “A Woman There Was,” a heart gripping story of life in the semisavage South Sea Islands. Miss Bata in this photoplay has unlimited latitude to display her wonderful emotional power, and she takes full advantage of the opportunity. This double feature programme is showing at the usual prices. EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “TOL’ABLE DAVID.” To-night will see the final screening of the First National sped feature, “Tol’able David,” featuring Richatd Barthelmess. Mr. Barthelmess has been seen in “Way Down East,” under the direction of Mr. Griffith, and. in “Tol’able David” he has made a production with himself as star. “Tol’able David” is a story of West Virginia mountaineers, from the pen of Joseph Herhesgeimer. It first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post and has since been published in book form and conceded to be one of the best of this gifted author’s works. Barthelmess nlays the part of a young mountain lad upon whose shoulders is suddenly cast new and heavy responsibilities. It is a picture of profound interest, of sweeping suspense and powerful dramatic scenes. Seldom has a picture so filled with genuine heart interest and true human characters reached the screen. For those who look for the evolution of the motion picture world’s foremost stories, “Tol’able David” will be a delight. No picturegoer can afford to miss this fine picture, which the management are screening at usual prices. “THE FOX” TO-MORROW. To-morrow and Thursday the management of Everybody’s Theatre will screen the big western super-sensation, “The Fox,” with Harry Carey—-famous for his portrayals of western characters—in the leading part. The story is one that Cftrey Ims wanted to produce for years. He wrote it, gathering material from his wealth of picturesque experience on the Western Range. It embodies all those qualities that countless picture-fans have told Carey they liked most. Carrying a dramatic punch and a quivering thrill of suspense in every one of its surprising twists, it sweeps everything before it in its swift rush of plot, its blow upon blow of the most absorbing situations ever devised. And through all of the vigorous action, and thrills and spectacle runs a thread of sentiment that binds the human interest with a strength as powerful and satisfying as human sympathy itself. Step by step the story builds—now tense, now humanly humorous, now thrilling, now breathless, now tender—and all pyramiding up to a climax that will leave any audience breathless—and satisfied. There will be a special matinee to-morrow afternoon at 3.30, when “The Fox” will be shown at specially reduced prices.
