THE PICTURE WORLD.

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF ‘PRICE OF A GOOD TIME.” To-night’s is tho last screening of tho big “Jewel” special attraction, “Tho Price of a Good Time,” starring beautiful Mildred Harris (Mrs. Charlie Chaplin). “Five happy evenings of social life and bright companionship—then camo the sixth night—tho last—with its big temptation, discovery, wrongful accusation—and tho price to be paid.” BRYANT WASHBURN TO-MORROW To-morrow’s new bill, commencing at 2 p.m., presents the tamo us Saturday Evening Post story, “Venus of tho East,” starring Bryant Washburn and Anna Q. Nilsson. It is a real human story with touches of humour that make it a most refreshing play. EVERYBODY’S. WILLIAM FABNUM IN “THE HEART OF A LION.” William Farnura is always welcome hero. Ho is particularly welcome in his latest production, “The Heart of a Lion,” which commences a two-night season at Everybody’s to-night. It is a pleasure to see Big Bill go after ’em in his own inimitable way. When he pulls off his coat and rolls up the sleeves of his blue shirt ono can rest assured that there’s going to be action on tho screen and plenty of it. That is what makes “The Heart of a Lion” ono of the finest pieces of work _ Mr. Farnum has ever done. Tho picture is founded on Ralph Connor’s widely read novel,, “The Doctor.” Mr. Fnrnura plays the role of Barney Kemper, a farmer who is disappointed in Jove and seeks the solace of tho great forests. There he meets his brother, who had once sinned against him. He meets also a rough forester who is doing his level host to seo that Barney’s brother is put out of the way. The conflict between these three men, with two women embroiled in its complications, makes one of tho fastest moving pictures ever shown.
