ENTERTAINMENTS

POPULAR PICTURE PALACE.

To-night will see the final screening of Olive Thomas's latest masterpiece, “Footlights and Shadows,” a beautiful and unusual story that has been attracting large audiences. Olive Thomas shows us what art and beauty, coupled with a good story and a good cast, can do to interest and hold the attention of an audience and send them home in a happy frame of mind. There are some splendid supporting features, including a Metro-Drew comedy, “The Hypochondriac,” which keeps everyone in ripples of laughter.

CIVIC PICTURES,

The excellent double-feature Fox prognunmc which has drawn excellent houses for the past two screenings, will be finally repeated this evening, Madlaine Traverse, “empress of stormy emotion,” ends her engagement to-night in “The Iron Heart,” the widely discussed photodrama produced by William Fox. All the thrills one could expect from a story that deals with great sloel mills in hitter rivalry are realised in this strong play, written and directed by Denison Clift. Miss Traverse is seen at her best as a girl who does big tilings in a big way —even to falling in love. To-night affords the last chance to see William Russell in “The Lincoln Highwayman.” The slon - keel's the spectators on edge all the way. It is replete with thrills, romance and suspense, and is probably the swiftest moving photoplay ever seen here. Excellent supports complete n very fine bill. Another Paramount, double-star bill has been secured for to-morrow's screening, and it includes a six-part suprrfeature, and also another of the Mack Sennett comedies.
