ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE LOVE CALL” TO-NIGHT. Billie Rhodes, the sprightly little star has. in “The Love Call,” her latest production, a role that proves the clever little ingenue possessed of unusual talent for character acting. Miss Rhodes is always at her best tvhen she is unhampered by conventionalities. As “The Kid” in “The Love Call,” the vivacious little actress plays the part of a western girl who has been brought up in a frontier town by her drunken, crusty old father. There are a couple of exciting rough-and-tumble fights in the production, one between the “Mate” and O’Keefe in the frontier saloon, and another when Nick grabs the prof-*®s-r by his hirsute barrage and mops up the classic floor of the college with the dignified high-brow 7 . The photography is striking, especially the shepherd scenes showing the flock coming down the mountain side. “The Love Call” shows at Everybody’s for to-night only, THE PEOPLE’S. FRANK MAYO TN “DR. JIM.” The feature attraction at the People** fo-night is the universal production, “Dr. Jim.” which stars the virile Frank Mayo. The story depicts Mayo as a. great surgeon, whose heart is too big to allow him neglecting his patients to piav with his wife. His wife’s jealousy of his work is inexplicable to him, and his love for it strikes her as unnecessarily dominating. When his nerves go to pieces and a long; sea voyage is taken, dramatic incidents, involving the wife’s position as the only woman aboard a ship manned bv rough-necks and skippered by a brute, bring to her an understanding of love and of her husband’s nature that adds strength to his character and brings hapniness to them both. It is one of the strongest pictures of two fisted action that has come to the screen in months, and the situations are unusual. “Dr. Jim” is showing at usual prices.
