The many habitues of this leading pic- •«£ tu" se ar . e Dein 6" delighted this week with that bright/favourite, famous as a book and as a play, "The Morals of Marcus. I n th e Sim version the Famous ■Players Company have lost none of the charm of Wm. J.'Locke's pretty romance, and Marie Doro, as Carlotta, who escapes from a Turkish harem, to eventually become the bride of Sir Marcus Ordeyne, is described as obarraing in the extreme. The'picture promises to attract crowds all the week. In addition there are Pathe's newest Gazette, Charlie Chap, lin 'Cartoons, and a beautiful scenic trip to the Paris Zoological Gardens. ' . ' 'EVERYBODY'S. Headed by a picture which many claim to be the best that has been shown at this theatre, the_ programme at Everybody's Theatre this week is truly excellent, "Tho Golden Claw,", the five-reel feature film produced by the dramatic producer of the Trianglo Company, Thos. Ince, stands out for power of plot, gripping, in. tense story, powerful and convincing act. ing, beautiful photography, and artistic production, iisa remarkable example of the tremendous strides made in the art' of motion pictures. Mass Bessie Barris. cale is fine 'as ithe woman whose one desire was for riches, and who drove her hnsband to the same desire, only to find that Jove and happiness were killed in the mad, struggle for wealth; and Mr. Frank Mills gives a remarkable rendering of the money-mod financier. The picture cannot fail to: hold the close attention during its screening. A bright comedy, "The Caretaker's Dilemma," and the Gatunont Graphic complete the excellent programme. . t POST CARD COMPETITION. • Attention is drawn to an advertisement in which the management of Everybody's Theatre offer prizes for the best answers to the question, "Would you, if you had it, lend your husband .£IO,OOO in. order to ■save him from ruin?" Tho question, arises' out of the big situation in "The Golden Claw," showing at Everybody's.this week Answers must be in by to-morrow. MARY PICKFORD AS "RAGS." ,' ■ The Empress Theatre, with, Mary Piokford in the part of "Rags," in the drama of that' name, is attracting, every class of picture-goer to its doors; and at every session the theatre, is taxed to its capacity. "Rags" is the lifetstoryof a waifwho becomes a young..lady, and it sticks to tho essentials.- "Rags" will be played till Saturday; night. On Monday next "The Dragon"—a drama of a certain sec-' •tion .of New) York, .where wantonness is an art—will ~be screened. It isstated that one scene 'shows a fashionable modiste's, whero" gowns to tho value of i! 10,000 are shown on fashionable mannikins. ..- > i'.
