ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. Screening finally to-night at the People’s Theatre is the double Fox feature programme, “Elope if You Must,” starring daiirty Eileen Percy and “The Ragged Heiress,” featuring Shirley Mason. “Elope if You Must” is a comedy drama that proves that elopement is the spice of marriage..;, Right through the piece there is something doing, and for those who likri fight and wholesome comedy as their staple fare, this film will easily suffice. Miss Percy is an adorable kind of little person, and this vehicle is most suitable for her class of work. The rest of the cast is entirely satisfactory. For entertainment value, “Elope if You Must” has a high percentage. The other feature, is—- “ The Ragged Heiress.” The very title suggests the sympathetic character of the story—suggests the sort of role that the dainty, appealing Shirley Mason has made peculiarly her own, through which she never has failed to reach the hearts of every audience witnessing her display pf a finished art. The prices are advertised as usual. EVERYBODY’S. “THE LEATHER PUSHERS” TO-NIGHT. To-night’s new programme at Everybody’s will include the second of the famous “Leather Pushers’ ” series and a fivereel vitagraph feature, “The Charming Deceiver,” starring Alice Calhoun. Brilliant drama, action, and thrill are the ingredients of “The Charming Deceiver.” Alice Calhoun, the star, plays the role of a young girl whose marriage must be kept secret in order that happiness may come into the lives of several persons. Her husband, a convict, escapes and makes things warm for all concerned. In order to keep up the deception the star has to do some clever work. There is a big supporting cast. “The Leather Pushers” bids fair to become one of the most popular series of features ever shown at Everybody’s. It is a series—but not a serial —of films dealing with the manliest of sports, boxing and football, and showing thrilling incidents in the career of a young collegian, who, through financial misfortune to his family, sets himself by means of a ring career to rehabilitate his father in Wall Street. The leading part is taken by Reginald Denny, a handsome specimen of well developed manhood. The prices of admission remain as usual.
