ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S THEATRE.

“Love Never Dios,” now screening at Everybody’s Theatre, is based on the harmful effects of a village-gossip which brings about a separation between a man ami his wife. Determined to finish all, the boy-husband circulates a rumour that he is dead, but a sub-conscious realisation of a great love eventually conies to the surface, and removes the barriers in an exciting climax. A strong supporting programme is also screened. EMPRESS THEATRE.

Hous* Peters, Claire Windsor, and Rosemary Theby are ths principal actors in ‘‘Rich Men’s Wives,” a story of a neglectful husband and a Dutterflv w'ife, which heads the current programme at the Empress Theatre. The comedy element of the programme is supplied by “Fair Enough,” and an interesting Gaumont Graphic is included. A picture of the entertainment is th© selections contributed by an especially capable orchestra under the direction of Mr. L. D. Austin.

PARAMOUNT AND ARTCRAFT. The early love story of a beautiful woman and a man of wisdom is graphically unfolded in “The Quee i of Sheba,” the feature production a; the Paramount and Artcraft Theatres. Betty Blythe makes a royal and l.cautiful queen, and interprets an exacting role with rare skill. Fritz Liber is an effective Solomon, and Nell Craig is seen to distinction as the Princess Vashti. A specially prepared prologue precedes the screening at the Paramount. The last nights of the big picture are announced. QUEEN’S THEATRE. The trials and tribulations of a girl passing through the process of “taming” constitute the outstanding feature of “One Week of Love,” which is now being presented at the Queen’s Theatre. The scene wherein the girl is depicted in an aeroplane race, is lost in a fog, and finally crashes into the hut of tho renegade, in the w’ilds of Mexico, provides only one of the many thrilling incidents which are embodied in this masterly production. Mr. A. Jerome’s orchestra supplies ex celleiit music. HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. Those in search of an evening’s entertainment w'ill assuredly find it at His Majesty’s Theatre in the new programme of vaudeville which made itr second appearance last night. Marzou and Florence are novelty equiliorista whose stunts are both daring and entertaining, and ragtime dispensation in the hands of Beresford and K' ’ ’ e leaves nothing to be dodred. An English performer, Leyland Hodson, scores success witli the vocal i umbers he contribute.?, while his humour never fails to please. Charles E. Lawn'cncretains his popularity. Craydon and Mack attend io the patter and dance branches. The. second portion of th« programme is occupied with a revue, entitled “Don’t Flirt,” featuring Walter George and his Sunshine Flavors. Frank Crowther’s orchestra contributes largely to tho success of tlie performance.
