AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. “THE GULDEN BED” TO-NIGHT. The picture is Cecil B. do Millc’s latest production for Paramount. The book was hailed by critics and public alike as '‘the most searching novel of marriage ever written. Its pages glow with life and love.” Flora Lee, selfish young daughter of the aristocratic family of Peake, and her younger though far more sensible sister Margaret, are both in love with Admah Holtz, rising young candy manufacturer who is long on money and shy on culture. Holtz marries Flora Lee, the girl who turned her hack on him when he was poor, only to realise, that it is not lie she loves but his money. Flora Lee gives a big candy hall which ruins Admah. He goes to prison. The girl goes off with another man while Margaret bucks up with young Holtz; lie lights back. lias partially recovered, when Flora Lee returns, half out of her head, to the house of Peake, now used as a Boarding house. There she dies in the golden bed. while Margaret and “Candy” Holtz go into each other’s arms. “The Golden lied’’ will strike an unusually human note to those who have watched hard-working “nobodies” rise to wealth and social position over those who believed a marvellous family name did away with all necessity for work. Bod La. Bocque, Vera Reynolds, and Lilian Rich have, the principal roles in the production. Others featured are Warner Baxter, Theodore TCosloff and Julian Faye. There’s a great, east playing in support. A Topical and 'a good tworeel Comedy completes the display to-night.
