ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. “THE IRON TRAIL” TO-NIGHT. In the wilds of Alaska, where untold wealth awaited upon the advance of civilisation, Murray O’Neil, affectionately called ‘‘The Irish Prince,” and Curtis Gordon, an unscrupulous promoter, meet and light for the right to run a railroad into the heart of the precious gold country. Physically, O’Neil and Gordon were well-matched; both were big men with- dominating personalities, and each attracted a following that stood ready, at all times, to fight in proof of their loyalty to their leader. And fight they did, with fists and stones and clubs and guns, and when at last they met on a little patch of ground, nine feet square, that each faction wanted pud needed tor its railroad right-of-way. Gordon's crowd got there first, and by trickery tried to hold the line against the advance of O’Neil’s men, but in the battle that ensued, Gordon’s men were routed and the O’Neill railroad went triumphantly through. In the midst of this continuous battle of brawn and brain, explosives and steel, two beautiful girls played prominent parts, sharing the perils and the hardships and bravely standing by the men in their struggles against the rigid barriers of the frozen northland, and the dangerous men in the opposing camp. Their’s was a battle of love brought to a happy conclusion when their heroes triumphed in their long hard struggle. This, briefly, is the story of Rex Beach’s famous novel, “The Iron. Trail,’ the picture story of which shows to-night and to-morrow at Everybody’s. Seats for either night can now be reserved at Collier's. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF TOM MIX. That the high-class western type of photoplay is still most popular among a majority of picture fans, is always evidenced upon the appearance of a new Tom Mix picture at the People'.-; Theatre. Tom Mix, the ever reliable -Fox star, has attained the rank of king among western drama stars, and his grip on

public favor seems to grow greater with every new picture. This was strongly evidenced last night at the People’s Theatre, where Mix opened in his latest, picture, “The Fighting Streak.” Tn this feature Mix goes to the very limit of entangling himself in romance and adventure—even to the point of putting himself outside, the law with a price on his head. “The Fighting Streak" screens finally to-night with a Sunshine Comedy and Topical in support. Admission prices are as usual,
