Entertainments.

PALACE. The Metro Corporation are well known for the quality of . the plots introduced into the photoplays. In “The Waiting Soul,” Madame Olga Petrova is seen at her best. This picture was adapted from a story in the popular magazine “Snappy Stories.” Episode 5 of “The Secret Kingdom,” a Metro Drew comedy, and Pathe Gazette are also in this bill. KOSY. Olivo Thomas, the girl who is described by Harrison Fisher, the famous artist, as “the prettiest girl in America,” shows her dramatic addition to her famous ballet dancing in “An Even Break.” This picture will be shown at five sessions to-day and to-night at the Kosy. A really good entertainment is provided. EVERYBODY’S. EMILY STEVENS IN A GOOD METRO PLAY. “The Wheel of the Law” is perhaps one of the best plays produced by the Metro Company. The plot is not only clever and convincing, but it works along so naturally that it is most easily followed. It shows how circumstantial evidence is used by a prosecuting attorney to further his ambitions and how his wife (also a lawyer) beats him at his own game to save her brother from prison. Emily Stevens is perfect in her part, and has the assistance of Frank Mills in the heavy part of husband and attorney.
