EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. ' "Love Makes 'era "Wild" * heads the bill l Kverybody's this week. The opening scenes ;:rc in a silk emporium, where a youth known "Willie, the Worm," is the scapegoat of all, bullied by the lift-man, the janitor, and fellow-employees. Willie is bluffed into believing that his heart is weak, and that in a fortnight his earthly worries will end. Having a few thousand dollars, he and a pal decide to take a suite at the Ritz, where he entertains lavishly, heaping gifts on girls. The fun is fast and bright, and in a melee Willie finds that he has unexpected strength, a fact broneht to him by jealousy of the pretty typiM's companion. "The Little Irish Girl" is a story cf how a trio of ?an Irancisco "crooks" were beaten at their own game. There is a great amount of comedy, mostly supplied by one of the gang, and j-nappv sub-titles, but there are also many melodramatic'- scenes as well. Having takeu down a youth from tho country, the members of the gang plan to rob also their victim's grandmother, who owns ft "mineral i-pring on her country hotel property. One of the gang is a girl (Dolores Costello), and she and the young man fall in love, while the venerable grandmother arouses the girl's svmpathy. and she schemes to thwart the plotters. They are thwarted in the end, but by the old lady herself who, in her earlier days, was a crook too. So she sots tho young ronple out on life and leaves the rvocks lamenting the loss of aU.OOO dollais.
