ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. VIOLET HOPSON AND ST®WART ROME. In “The Romance of a Movie Star,” at Everybody’s to-night, Violet Hopson, who is considered the foremost English screen artist to-day, relates in graphic manner the story of an actress’ rise from obscurity to fame, embracing the joys and sorrows of a film player’s life, and showing that the players behind the screen are just as human as those who sit and watch the story unfold on the screen itself. Unusually interesting is the fact that most of the production shows the actual working of a studio and the lives of the film actors, while woven into the plot is an enthralling love romance, with many highly dramatic situations. It rises to an exciting climax when the star shields a foolish society girl at the risk of her own good name, finally ending when everything has been cleared up to general satisfaction, with the hero and heroine in the time honored “clinch.” Stewart Rome is typically British, and gives an altogether attractive portrayal of a manly young Briton. The bill includes gazette, comedy and the big serial “The Lost City.” The matinee tomorrow commences at 2 p.m.
