ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. “THE VIRGIN OF STAMBOUL” TO-NIGHT. is a remarkable fascination about Stamboul, the old quarter of Constantinople, which attracts all who ever journeyed to the Golden Horn. One wonders what it is that so fascinates , those of the west. Is it the veiled women in whose faces no man is permitted to look? Is it the hurrying along of the motley groups? The black slaves? Perhaps it is the Arabs from the Syrian' desert, or the saints from the country. Maybe it is the crowd of disciples, murmuring their* blessings, or the bare-leg-ged Armenian porters staggering under great weights. The soldiers on foot, the helmeted police on horseback, the shambling eunuchs, the proud Albanians, the Sisters of Charity, the Mohammedan merchants of the Great Bazaar, the dancing dervishes —these and a thousand other strange sights make Stamboul one of the most fascinating spots on earth. “The Virgin of Stamboul.” produced by Universal-Jewel as a master feature, was written especially for Priscilla Dean by H. H. Van Loan, and the author has endeavored to paint an animated picture, of the “wickedest” city in the world. Director Tod Browning has faithfully followed his story and has reproduced that painting in life-like scenes. The screening nights are to-night and tomorrow at Everybody’s. Seats may be reserved at 'Collier’s any time during the day. Seats will not be reserved after 7 p.m, THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF Wm. FARNUM. William Farnum, in “Wings of the Morning.” will be seen for the last time to-night at the People’s Theatre. This pfyotodrama is filled with thrilling situations and the eminent William Fox star never has been seen in a more heroic and picturesque role. One of the great outstanding features of this great picture is the realistic ocean liner wreck. The bill includes gazettes and the big “Sunshine” comedy, “Chase Me.” To-morrow’s change presents the big seven-reel Metro super, “Old Lady 31,” starring Emma Dunn, Metro’s new and accomplished screen artist.
