THE GRAND AND EVERYBODY’S. ATTRACTIONS FOR NEXT MONDAY. “Poppy,” Cynthia Stock ley's African romance, with Noma Talmadge as the star, will be the attraction at the Grand Theatre next Monday. Noma Talmadge, as Poppy Dcstiu, appears first ns a poor, maltreated waif. She runs away from home and is befriended by Ahmger, who later marries her, the ceremony being performed in French, and Poppy told that it is merely a formal adoption. Abinger keeps his secret until Poppy, reaching womanhood, demands that she be permitted to make outside acquaintances, as she is kept a prisoner in Abinger’s home. She falls in love with another man, and then learns that she is the wife of Abinger. How she carries out her determination to make her own way in tire world, and finally returns to face both men who have come into her life, and win her happiness, forms a dramatic story, EVERYBODY’S. Tom Mix is coming to Everybody’s Theatre next Monday for a stay of 3 days in a brand-new thriller, “The Wilderness Trad,” a William Fox photoplay from the book of that title by Frank Williams. It- is a story of the snowbound fur region of Canada. Tom Mix, it is announced, performs as many exploits in the snow as ho docs in his well-known pic lures of the great southwest. One big scene is a fight to the death in the snow between two men who really can tight—one of them being Mix. Tho romance, which centres about a new leading lady, Colleen Moore, is claimed to be absolutely wholesome —as all who know the hook are aware.
