EVERYBODY’S

“GOD GAVE ME 20 CENTS” “God Gave Me Twenty Cents” comes to Everybody’s Theatre to-night, and will give audiences the thrill of their lives. Herbert Brenon’s latest Para-

mount production was adapted by John Russell from I Dixie Willson’s i story, and in it Brenon has caught all the colour, comedy, beauty, and suspense contained in the original story. As the heroine, charming Lois Moran is better than ever, serving

as a splendid con- . trast to the dark Wm * Collier, Jnr beauty loaned by Lya de Putti. Jack i Mulhall is good in whatever he does, and this, his latest part, is no exception to the rule. Appearing as a “heavy” for the first time. William Collier, Jnr., does well in the fourth major role. “God Gave Me Twenty Cents” opens during the Xew Orleans Mardi Gras. Mulhall, a rough sailor, meets Lois, ! and they are married. Some days | later when his boat is about to leave, ; Miss de Putti, an old flame, enters into | the plot and the happiness of the i newlyweds. How she uses an old j gambling trick in her effort to win back j this man of hers, and what eventually | happens as she almost succeeds, makes i Mr. Brenon’s current film one that can | easily be placed on the same high plane | as his justly famous “Beau Geste.”
