ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE SILVER HORDE.” A thundering drama of fighting fists and mighty men. Packed with electric thrills and romance. Such is “The Silver Horde,” a six-reel special attraction, from Rex Beach’s widely-read novel, which was screened to a big house at Everybody’s last night/ From the frozen waters of the Kalvik to New York, from New York to Seattle, the grandeur of the snows, the clash of the mighty fists, the roar of dynamite, the unleashed passions of strong men fighting for fortune, and the love of a woman, bring “The Silver Horde” to the pinnacle of perfection. It’s that class of film; bigger and more gripping than “The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” “The Flame Yukon,” “The Spoilers,” or “The Barrier.” It has action sweeping forward at a breath-taking pace, and winding up in a big surprise climax. The final screening is announced for to-night.. The new- programme for to-morrow will star Connie Talmadge in her latest six-reel feature, “Polly of The Follies,” and the supports will include the fourth round of the popular “Leather Pushers’” featurette.

THE PEOPLE’S. WILLIAM FARMUM TO-NIGHT. “Shackles of Gold,” a six-reel, magnificent production, based on Henri great stage-play, “Samson,” is the deatura attraction at The People’s to-night. William Farnum is the star. This is one of the most powerful pictures in which William Farnum has featured. Without doubt it is a strong play, requiring just his vigor and fine physical strength to make it what it is—“a masterpiece.” It is a story in which a man of Farnum’s great acting ability revels. It cannot be called a story of everyday life. It is a story that requires genius to create, because the plot is an unusual one and deals with incidents of life that are very rarely enacted. The story is one of acute human interest, and intensely dramatic in its leading scenes. Mr. Farnum’s great reputation as a romantic actor assures a remarkable performance. The supporting films include a two-reel Sunshine comedy, cartoon, and topical. The prices of admission are: D.C. 1/6, stalls 1/-.

EMPIRE THEATRE. HAYBITTLE DANCE RECITAL TO-MORROW. Miss Wyonne Haybittie’s dance recital will be presented in the Empire Theatre to-morrow night, commencing at 8 o’clock. Miss Jean Mulholland and Miss Clarice Moverley, two senior pupils, and 16 junior pupils, will take part in the programme, while Miss Haybit tie will preesnt four solos, including the world-famous “Dance of the Dying Swan,” a dance combining emotional acting with a sound knowledge of toedancing technique. Miss Haybittie has had exceptional opportunities of perfecting her art, having studied under Sydney’s well-known ballet mistress, Miss Muriel Hooper, and also under the celebrated Russian dancer, Alexander Volinin. Although the pupils have only had a season’s tuition, they show remarkable promise and talent, and it will be a revelation to most people to see what a capable mistress can achieve in so short a period. The costumes will be a feature of the recital. The box plan opened at Collier’s yesterday morning, ami there was a steady demand for seats all day.
