ENTERTAINMENTS.

EMPIRE THEATRE. "A DOG'S LIFE" AT THE MATINEE THIS AFTERNOON. The announcement that Charlie Chaplin would appear at the Empire Theatre last evening in his famous comedy "A Dog's Life," attracted a big attendance to the theatre, "standing room only" being the announcement some time prior to the time of starting. "A Dog's Life" is one of the best and brightest films the famous Charlie has ever produced, and the queer antics he performs in this picture have never been eclipsed as laugh-raisers. It is one continual bubble of merriment from start to finish, this queer story of pharlie and his dog, to say nothing of the dog's tail, which adds considerably to the amusement. "A Dog's Life" shows at the matinee this afternoon at 2 pan. and also again for the last time to-night. On the night programme the big eightreel special "To Hell with the Kaiser," will also be screened. Although of an entirely different nature this picture is .just as great an attraction as the Chaplin comedy. To-night will bo the last screening of both films, and as the seating accommodation of the theatre is limited intending patrons are advised to reserve their seats at Collier's.

IVERYBODY'S. THE CAMPBELL BROTHERS-THIS AFTERNOON AND TO-NIGHT. The Campbell Bros, proved to be just as popular on their return visit to Everybody's last night as they were last week. The pleasing manner and really clever turn put on by the boys went big with last night's audience, and as on the previous occasions the performers had to respond to numerous recalls before the audience was content to let them go. The Campbells appear at the matinee this afternoon and again for positively the last occasion to-night. Supporting these gifted musicians there is a fine picture programme headed by ' the six-reel World film feature "Vengeance," in which Montagu Love and little Madge Kvanß make a big hit. THE PEOPLE'S. DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS AND THE CAMPBELLS. To-night's big new bill at the People's presents the popular screen athlete Douglas Fairbanks, in his latest Artcraft picture, "Say! Young Fellow!" Doug, is a newspaper reporter and in his sleuthing process the reporter gets into a mix-up with a crowd of angry factory employees bent on his destruction, and his muscle and skill come in good stead. Driven at bay in a room of the factory to which he discreetly retreats, he vaults onto a high shelf, and when the men pour into the .room they are dumb-found-ed to find it seemingly vacant, little dreaming that the object of their wrath is' flattened out on the narrow board high above their heads. The new role of the comedian is a very human one, and the story is exceptionally consistent for comedy. In the early stage of the investigation the reporter goes on the wrong trail, but is set right by "The Girl," played by Marjorie Daw, marldng the dawn of a romance which culminates in a wedding. The Campbells will also perform to-night.
