ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. The second feature of “The Leather Pushers” series delighted a big audience at Everybody’s last night. Exciting, amusing, clean as a whistle, they are admirably suited to any audience, anywhere. As a popular string of ringside stories “The Leather Pushers” appeals just as forcibly to ladies and children as they do to the men. The other big feature of last night’s programme was a Vitagraph feature “The Charming Deceiver,” with Alice Calhoun in the lead. This capable actress has an emotional role which calls for real artistry. The story is one of those pleasing narratives that deal with a page of life as it exists in the small New England villages. Wealthy grandparents, disowned children, and the happy reunion after a dark secret has been cleared, furnishes material for an intense love story that holds the attention from the first flash to the final close-out. Attractive scenic backgrounds, odd bits of human interest, and quaint fragments of humor have been introduced into the action to give the production color. It is a story that will get beneath the surface, and is a sample of better picture plays. The final screening is announced for to-night THE PEOPLE’S. “MAN TO MAN” TO-NIGHT. “Man to Man” is the promising title of the Universal-Jewel attraction coming to the People’s to-night and to-morrow. It is a starring vehicle for Harry Carey, filmed with elaborate attention to the thrill qualities a Western story should provide. A cattle stampede of five thousand head ought to furnish a kick for the jaded spectator. The Agoure ranch, a cattle grazing kingdom of great acreage near /Universal City, California, was the scene of the stampede. The fenceless areas around Benson, Arizona, furnished a location for other thrilling scenes. Opposite Harry Carey, Lillian Rich is given an opportunity to show whether or not British musical comedy stars make good heroines for photodramas. She has only been in pictures two years, but her beauty and sweetness of personality have already won her the highest esteem. Jackson Gregory’s widely read novel, “Man to Man,” gave the plot to the new Carey picture. Prices of admission remain as usual.
