EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES

“BROADWAY GOLD”—TO-NIGIIT.

A romance of the Great White AVay into which are woven all the thrills of night life in the great metropolis. The story wends its way from “backstage’ of a Broadway revue through midnight, scenes in a gilded palace, a

wealthy bachelor’s apartment, a mysterious murder, a thrilling auto sinnsliup, into one of the strongest love stories ever told. In Edward Dillon’s “Broadway Gold.” which was for the most part made under the brilliant mercury lights of California. Marshall Xeirlin. tbe distinguished director-pro-ducer, forgot the demands of his own work, long enough to don a.deliveryman’s uniform and do a delightful little comedy role in the last scenes of “Broadway Gold.’’. In this picture Elaine Hammerstein and Elliot Dexter, who have been married for some time, awake to the realisation that they love each other, and some friends from the great white way send the couple a beautiful baby carriage so that their household equipment may he complete even to the remotest requirements. The usual good supporting pictures will also he shown. On Friclty .Tosie Sedgwick will be seen in a Western drama “Daring Days.” nOBATO THE GREAT COY. Vaudeville once meant a topical song llieu a light comedy or opera houfflc; now it ic 'hold to include the wildest programme in a variety show. Comedians at times have to resort to the use of physical force unexpectedly applied in order that they might “go nig"; others work off “grips” and “gags” at the expense of those in front. These are the fundamental elements employed in order to reach the goal of success in many turns. At the bead of the pretentious troupe of Oriental jugglers, magicians, acrobats, and dancers Donato does not use these methods. He is the showman par excellence and convinces his audience by sheer artistry of presentations. The awliciif© is always presented w'ith somolhing original, piquantlv thrilling

(erlainlv something which only this remarkable performer and Ills associates can do. Ribbon jugglers, acrobats. I'late spinners, baton throwers, dancers there are. The most difficult things are done with simnle ease—the ivward of unflagging practice nius natural aptitude. The entire aAt is produced in a dazzling setting of Oriental folour.
