ENTERTAINMENTS.

(EVERYBODY’S. CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN “IDLE CLASS” AND “SQUIBS” TO-NIGHT. One of the strongest programmes screened at Everybody’s this year -is announced to commence a three nights season to-night. Featured on the bill is Charlie Chaplin’s latest big comedy success “Idle Class,” and the English super - comedy-drama “Squibs? One has often heard of “the idle class,” but to get a real knowledge of what it really means it is necessary to see Charlie Chaplin’s definition. Charlie gives the “inside ■story” of the “idle class,” and it is guaranteed to keep you roaring with laughter from start to finish. The “idle class” yields itself readily to the sharp thrusts of the 'Chaplin satire. Most of the action takes place on the golf links atad in the home of a wealthy man, and Charlie’s efforts at golf are funny to the verge of convulsions. “Squibs” is a real gem of English production, and sends the thong’ to such famous successes as “Aly Old Dutch,’’ “The Better ’Ole,” and “Alf’s Button.” It was produced by the same makers as the last two mentioned, and whilst full of quaint sentiment it also possesses in full measure the humor of those other great pictures. It stands as a milestone in English pictures, and completely overshadows the average American super-pro-duction. No patron will be disappointed with the programme; the only disappointment possible is the chance of being turned away if seats are not reserved during the day at Collier’s. No seats will be reserved after 5.30.

THE PEOPLE’S. “THE FACE OF THE WORLD.” ‘“There’s a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may.” These words may well stand for the text of “The Face of the World/’ which screened to a big house at the People’s on Saturday night. It is a drama abounding in thrilling events, complicated situations, and intrigue,.set in the midst of magnificent open-air scenes, and extravagantly gorgeous cabarets. It is a true life story, telling of the love of a country lass for a young student: of the midnight revelries and folly in the heart of the Bohemian quarter, and of a young wife’s infidelity and a husband’s revenge. “The Face of the world,” which is adapted from the great novel of the same name by Jehan Bojer, furnishes entertainment of the highest order for every type of theatre-goer. The final screening takes place to-night with episode 7 of “The Blue Fox” in support.
