Everybody's Pictures.

"iWild and Woolly," the very latest adventure- of t'liie Prince of Laughtermakers, Douglas Fairbanks, is seen at his best. It will bo screened at 'Everybody's to-morrow night. Tli's play gives Doug, great scope in which to display his wonderful, gifts. The plot is remarkably strong and clever in every respect, audi it is related that after Fairbanks had concluded half the picture be remarked that scenario writers* were lying in bed at night thinking out new schemes ito kill him, Jjut he comei; though some thrilling scenes and has some hairbreadth escapes in spite of all the picture play writers can' do. Doug has some very romantic ideas of the West which he imagine-; to be what oft was 50"years ago. ilis fathter is a rail, road magnate and, great is the young man's joy when a committee arrives from the West to ask him to builds a railway. Doug, is selected by his father to visit Arizona. In order to gain his favour the committee arrange to give him a frame-up welcome on real wild and woolly lines. A doubtful character offers ! hi« band of Indians to produce a fake rising. Just previous to the rising he induces them to drt'nk fire water andf loads their revolvers with real bullets, the other -weapons being loaded with fake bullets. The result of the whole business is mopt entertaining;, but there is "a .semi-serious veihi running through the story, as usual that makes it mo!'e than a mere comedy. The management draw attention to Friday's feature, a picturisation of Victor Hugo's character of Esmeralda in his famous novel "The Hunchback of iXotre Dame." The title is "The DDiarling or Paris" and the story is a very engrossing one.
