ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST DAY OF “50,000 MILES WITH THE PRINCE OF Vv ALES.” To-day’s matinee at 2.30, and tonight’s screening at 7.45, conclude the local season of the big’ official film, "50.000 miles with the Prince of Wales.” This programme includes a splendid dramatic production, “The Thunderbolt,” in which the gifted Katherine McDonald is a revelation with her poise and emotional power, coupled with her flawless beauty. Contrast is furnished by Tom Meighan, of “Miracle Man” fame, who has the remarkable role of the husband who bends his wife to his will —a hatredinspired will to be avenged on her family by refusing her the sacred right to motherhood. The dire scheme is averted by a curious chain of circumstances that give rise to some of the tensest dramatic moments seen on the screen. A daring theme, superbly carried out, “The Thunderbolt” is a picture that has already created widespread comment, and will cause more. A big Harold Lloyd comedy is also shown. “SKY-EYE” TO-MORROW. “Sky-Eye,” commencing to-morrow night at Everybody’s, is probably the most thrilling picture of its kind ever produced, which has part of its locale in the clouds, coupled with a beautiful love story. The spectators will experience such thrills as a jump from plane to plane in mid-air, a parachute drop of two thousand feet, a leap from a plane to a swift moving train, and other stunts equally startling. Among the lucky players appearing in “Sky-Eye” are June Keith, Thelma Kenley, Lieut. Russell- “Sky-Eye” Hunt and others.

THE PEOL'UE-S. WM. FARNUM IN “THE SCUTTLERS.” William Farnum, the noted Fox star, will be seen at the People’s to-night in a sea story called “The Scuttiers,” from the pen of Slyde C. Westover. It is said to be a picture with many thrilling incidents and much striking photography. During the story, Farnum has a terrific battle in the hold of the sinking ship, and another later while marooned on a desert island. The cast with Mr. Farnum includes Miss Jackie Saunders, Herschel Mayall, G. Raymond Nye,

“Kewpie” Morgan and Al Fremont. Miss Saunders, who is “the” girl of the picture, is said to be especially good in the scenes where the ship is sinking. “The Scuttiers” is not only a very entertaining picture, but a very powerful drama, with a powerful actor as its hero. A big Sunshine comedy and gazettes are also on this bill.
