EVERYBODY’S

“FIGHTING LOVE” TO-NIGHT The struggle of Italy to maintain order and peace among the fierce Arab tribes of Tripoli is the theme of Jetta Goudal’s new star picture, ‘Fighting Love,” featuring Victor Varconi and Henry B. Walthall, which comes to Everybody’s Theatre to-night. Varconi and "Walthall, as soldiers of Italy, work out a destiny of drama in the hot, broiling sands of the Arabian desert, with Miss Goudal as their ultimate reward. Walthall wins her, only to lose her in the end when death gives her finally to Varconi. The story is full of picturesque and great moments. The second feature on the programme will be “Wild Beauty.” Bex, the king of wild horses, who is the “star” in this picture, is without doubt the most amazing and paradoxical horse in history. He is a real wild horse and was roped out of a wild her.d. But now he is trained to a perfection which excels that of horses born and trained in captivity. Rex is a fiery animal and it is hard to understand how such a ferociously acting stallion submits to being a motion picture star. It is to our advantage, however, for this picture is perfect entertainment. June Marlowe gives an appealing performance as the heroine and demonstrates that besides being a fine emotional actress she is also an excellent equestrienne.
