EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

"The Primrose Path," the main attraction at Everybody's Theatre this week, is ranked among the few really good pictures picture patrons are enabled to see. The story has thrill and dramatic interest. It tells of one Bruce Armstrong, who has found the -wine of love and laughter too heady for him, and has taken the primrose path—the path that leads ou the downward way. At home his mother, with her crippled son, remains, placing implicit trust, in her grown-up sou, Bruce. There is another, too, who trusts him, and who does all that there is in woman's luring power to drag him back from his downward journey. Morilyii Iterrill is a dancing girl at the night flub Bruce Armstrong frequents. She has had reason to kuow the manager better than he, and does her best to prevent him from gambling with this man. He does so, however, till the day of reckoning conies, when he finds dishonoured cheques waved iu his face, with the demand that he shall save himself by aiding in a diamond-smuggling enterprise or pay the price. He secures the diamonds from "Dude" Talbot, a crook, who cau easily deceive by a well-simulated representation of a gentleman of leisure. The manager and his satellite, Snead, the diamonds now in their possession, quarrel over the division of spoils, and the manager is killed. Snead flies: Talbot follows, first carefully placing the diamonds in his pocket. Recollecting himself, Snead endeavours to discover the whereabouts of the treasure. From here Ihc picture develops into a real thriller, and one can safely say il > 5 worth while seeing. Supporting is "The Sap," dealing with the mistaken courage of a soldier in the recent war, and is full of amusing incidents.
