EVERYBODY’S

NEW PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT “Then Came the Woman,” which comes to Everybody’s Theatre, is the initial offering of the ised David Hartford productions, a new producing company, which is already well on its way to an enviable position in the motion picture industry, since the announcement of its ambitious and carefully-planned programme of first season’s activities. The calibre of pictures which may be expected from this new organisation can best be judged from the splendid qualities which it is said are contained in “Then Came the Woman.” If the cast of artists is any guide to a picture. “Then Came the Woman” is particularly well-equipped. In its leading roles are such sterling players as Frank Mayo, Cullen Landis and Mildred Ryan, one of the most gifted of the younger, rising generation of screen actresses. It was written and directed by one of the best-known directors who will be remembered for his splendid successes, “Back to God’s Country” and “Nomads of the North,” among others. The scene of the production is laid in the great timber lands of the northwest, and climaxes in an amazitigly realistic forest fire, during which acres of timber are actually turned into a seething, flaming inferno.
