EVERYBODY’S

TWO FINE FILMS Harold Lloyd, in his latest Paramount release, “The Kid Brother,” now being shown at Everybody’s Theatre, is a younger brother, who holds a mortal fear of his other* two brothers. He longs to be as brave and as fearless as his father, the sheriff, and while the latter is away plays sheriff. At this one day he is bluffed into giving permission for a. circus to play in the town. When his dad found out. he told him to clear them out again, and then the fun started. “Shipwrecked,” a Metropolitan picture, in which Seena Owen and Joseph Schildkraut are featured, is also being screened at Everybody’s. It is a thrilling picture, admirably directed, acted, and photographed. The supporting cast includes Matthew Betz, Laska Winter, and Lionel Belmore. The story deals with an artist’s model whose beauty brings her the unwelcome attentions of men, and when she seeks relief in another city she fails to find it. One night, to save her honour, she shoots a scoundrel, and, boarding a ship bound for the Orient, she hides in the hold. Of course she is discovered, and during a raging hurricane, when the captain seeks to force his attentions upon her, a ship’s cook s assistant comes to her rescue;. Seena Owen is the girl, and Joseph Schildkraut the battling hero. The ship, almost dismantled by the storm, is abandoned by the crew, leaving the boy and girl to their fate. They drift to an island, where many interesting scenes transpire, and a smashing climax is reached.
