EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

| 'THE GREAT LOVE." | "The Great^Love," Marshall Neil- ; an's latest production, for Metro- j GoldwynMayer, lias established his j reputation as "The Mark Twain of j the Screen." The new picture play- • ing at Everybody's Theatre is the ; most hilarious vagary of fancy ever I concocted and is one of the most j brilliant comedy liits of the season. i It is the story of an elephant who falls in love with the doctor who cures her — falls with all her six tons of affection — and brings him untold woe when she follows him through store walls apd church bazaars, and wrecks a village in her wild desire to be with him. Neilan himself wrote the story in which Viola Dana and Robert Agnew play the prineipal roles — not forgetting "Norma," a six-ton actress, whose elephantic affection glve It the, title and the bulk of the comedy. "The Great Love" has a romance as sweet i as its comedy is hroad, and many ' thrills, including an exciting rescue I by- two thousand Boy Scouts and a i mad race after a kid-napper, add ; excitement to the laughs. Miss Rebe Kessalova, the gifted gipsy violiniste, will make an appearance during the season. Miss Kessalova has been specially engagi ed to appear at Everybody's and to I patrons, whose cultured tastes dei mand flnished art, the playing of | this musician will afford profound^ pleasure. She has a brilliant tech- ! nique, aYirm command over her violin, and her repertoire includes the masters as well as popular composers of the day. This act is attractively presented.
