EVERYBODYS PICTURES. NORM A TALMADGE TO-NIGHT. *• Graustark,” George Barr AleCutcheon’s entrancing romance of a mythical European kingdom, lias been modernised for the screen. That is, the gripping love drama which the novelist so vividly pictured lias not been altered, but the tiny kingdom has been brought up to date. Norma Tnlmadge enacts the role of the beautiful Princess Yctive, with Egene O’Brien as her leading man. First National will present this picture at the Princess Theatre to-night. There is no more perfect pair of lovers on the screen today than Norma Talmadge and Eugene O’Brien. And in “ Graustark,” Norma’s latest Joseph At. Schenck production, they are reported to have achieved new heights in the art of love-making. If we told you that Mrs Joseph M. Schenck, the lovely film star, will shortly appear in her latest First National romance. “Graustark,” you’d hardly know what wo were talking about. Nonna Talmadge is one of film few wives who are famous in their own names, rather than their husband’s. An ideal cast is said to support Norma Talmadge. Eugene O’Brien is Norma’s leading man, and others to he seen include Mure McDermott, Boy P’Arcy, Albert Gran, Lillian Lawrence, Michael Vavitch, Frank Currier, Winter Hall, and Wanda Hawley.

The latest in topiculs and a good comedy will also he shown to-night.
