ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. NORMA TALMADGE IN “THE WONDERFUL THING.” A wholesome study in romance and sentiment is “The Wonderful Thing,” which shows at Everybody’s to-night and to-morrow night, with Norma Talmadge as the star- This exceptionally clever picture is said to be ideal for the expression of the star’s talent and personality, since it permits her to portrdy a role which is widely different from any in which she has appeared before. The story carries a breata of humor which, coupled with the romantic entanglement, spells a heart interest drama which is bound to entertain the picture patron. The heroine, interpreted by Miss Talmadge, is one that calls upon her resourcefulness. The heroine is much sought after by an impoverished Englishman, and she marries him. His family immediately take it upon themves to make life unpleasant for her. Their mercenary conduct is exasperating to such a point that she leaves her husband. In the end there is reconciliation. The picture unfolds a pretty story that is well staged and enacted. In the cast are Harrison Ford, Howard Truesdale and Walter McEwen. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS.” Thrills, delightful ones that creep all the way up your spine and back again, are to be found in the Selznick feature “The House of Whispers,which screens finally to-night at the People’s. In this picture an ingenious crook built “The House of Whispers,” and honeycombed it with secret passage-ways, thus enabling him to rob the apartments of his tenants at leisure. • With the aid of a beautiful girl, Spalding (played by J. Warren Kerrigan) discovers the secret of the pasage-ways and exposes th? criminal. Kerrigan is supported in this picture by an unusually brilliant cast. Fritzi Brunette is seen in the leading feminine role. The final screening is announced for to-night, and the prices remain as usual.
