ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S, “THE LION AND THE LAMB.” In “The Lion and the Lamb,” commencing to-night, bewitching Billie Rhodes is seen in a play that will delight <and stimulate the most jaded fancy by its humor, thrilling situations and sensational finale. A girl who is a crook by accident of environment, a daring midnight burglary, t'he sensational capture of the girl, who is forced to become a, social imposter and marries a man to carry out -the schemes of revenge of a society leader, are some of the complications that make this picture excellent. The cast is one of unusual merit, of which Billie Rhodes is “Boots,” the heroine, and Melbourne MacDowell plays Uncle Ben, chief of the crooks known as “The Lion.” The bill includes Gazette, Interest, and the big two-reel Christie comedy, “Mr. Fatima.” THE PEOPLED. LAST NIGHT OF Wm. RUSSELL AND SHIRLEY MASON. William Russell in “Bare Knuckles,” the William Fox production, concludes to-night. Those who have failed thus far to see the star in the role of “Brute” McGuire will have their last opportunity this evening. Russell has scored a positive success in a role that is somewhat different from the usual run of western heroes of the screen. The bid includes Fox gazettes and darling Shirley Mason in “The Lamp-lighter,” a delightful love romance.

To-morrow’s change presents the big 7-rpel Metro play, “The Saphea4,” featuring Wm. Crane and Buster Keaton.
