ENTERTAINMENTS.

KOSY, “While Justice Waits” (Fox-Dustin .Farnnm) and a smashing comedy, “Rides and Slides,” make good entertainment at tho Kosy. PALACE. “The Branding Iron” is one of tho strongest week-end programmes shown for a long time at the Palace. Barbara Castleton is very lino in an exacting part. EVERYBODY’S. Alice Brady, more winsome, sympathetic and polished than over, will ho seen tonight at Everybody’s in “At the Mercy of Men,” a select feature dealing with Russian officers of high rank in the. davs of tho Czar.

“THE PRISONER OF ZEN DA.” “The Prisoner ol' Zenda,” which will he shown at Everybody's on Monday, Tuesday ami Wednesday next, is one of tho season’s super-plays. The magic of Rex Ingrain, director of “The Four Horsemen,” has given this old Anthony Hope classic of love and intrigue and adventure a new permanence on the screen. And as it comes to life in all Uio beauty and magnificence which only the screen could give it, it becomes a thing of pure romance and enchantment. '1 his picture may or may not have cost. Metro a million dollars, but it is certain that ii could have been no more beautifully nor more impressively made had it cost ten times that amount. Lewis Stone gives a flawless performance of the dual role of Rassendyll and King Rudolph. Alice Terry is a most charming and regal Princess Fiavia. Robert ICdeson is an ideal Colonel Sapl and Stuart Holmes and Run on Navarro as Black Michael and Rupert of Hontzau are the perfect villains. The box plan is now open at the Kosy.

“DREAM STREET’.” COMING TO PALACE. Commencing on Monday next, D, W. Griffith’s latest screen masterpiece, "Dream Street,” an adaptation of Thomas Burke’s celebrated book, “Lunehouse Nights,” will be shown for three nights at the Palace. The picture is said to be up to the best Griffith standards, and ranks in equality with the other works of that master producer, including “The Birth of a Nation,” ‘‘The Full of Babylon,” “Hearts of the World,” “Way Down 'Fast,” and “Broken Blossoms.” The setting and mounting of the production have been furnished on a lavish scale and the situations provide many thrills. The acting is carried out by a brilliant cast—a feature of Griffith productions.
