ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE PEOPLE’S. MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. There’s a laugh a minute in the new Selznick comedy dr'ania “Keeping up with Lizzie” wiiich screens this afternoon and to-night at the People’s with the lovable Australian etar Enid Bennett. In this story Miss Bennett acts the role of Lizzie Henshaw, daughter of the ‘lending’ grocer of a small conn try town, who it sent by hei* ambitiousfather to a fashionable city school. She goes away as plain “Lizzie” but returns as “Elizabeth” and nothing is quite good enough for her in the village of Pointview, after returning from college. Here the story takes queer twists and you should just see what happens to Lizzie. “Keeping up with Lizzie” is cramed with every element calculated to give perfect entertainment. Included in this programme are. the latest Topicals and Episode 2 of the new Selznick serial. “The Blue Fox.” Prices of admission to both sessions are advertised as usual.

EATIRYBODY’S MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2 P.M. The attraction at Everybody’s this afternoon and to-night will be a five reel comedy drama entitled “Up in Mary’s Attic”. It is primarily a farcecomedy with burlespue trimmings. But it can also be called a comic melodrama. Take a ridiculous scene or two away and it could be called a straight dramatic entertainment. So it should appeal to all classes. It is crammed full of rich incident, characterization heart interest, human appeal, sympathy, rare comedy, beauty, and oh! the gayest galaxy of girls that ever adorned’ a picture, a garden of girls which might do credit to Ziegfeld’s Midnight Frolic. The supporting programme includes the seventh episode of “AA 7 inners of the AA 7 est” and a two reel comedy “Falling for Fanny.” “THE SILVER HGRDE.” MONDAY. “AA 7 ay up in the frozen stretches of Alaska, nine tenths of a man’B law rests in the barrel of a gun, and the flinty hardness of bare fists. Men are made or unmade in a clash of fists —a sudden “draw” of irons. Cunning and trickery to them is the weapon of the snake—and answered only by the vehement spit of a well aimed shot. So when Marsh with his Eastern polish and AA 7 all Street millions hit the Kalvik trail to gain control of the great ’salmon trap'’, he found his cunning pitted against the might and courage of the Great North. And the struggle that followed, resounded with the clash of leashed passions of strong men fighting for fortune and the love of a woman. Such is the theme of Rex Beach’s famous ' story “The Silver Horde” screening at Everybody’s Theatre on Monday and Tuesday. The snow scenes alone are worth seeing, and the producers have cleverly introduced some wonderfully interesting scenes of the salmon industry taken at Lummi Island, in Puget Sound. There are a number of fine supporting films including one of the famous “Mermaid” two reel comedies “The Greenhorn,” The prices for the big super-programme will be 2/- and 1/6, and seats can now be reserved at Collier’s.
