EVERYBODY’S

“GETTING GERTIE’S GARTER" •The Little Adventuress” and “The Goodbye Kiss,” the pictures which make up the current programme at Everybody’s Theatre, will be presented for the last time this evening. Commencing to-morrow an uprorious comedy entitled “Getting Gertie’s Garter” will be shown. In “Getting Gertie’s Garter,” Marie Prevost, in the starring role of Gertie, has in her possession a gold garter with Charles Ray’s picture on it. Ray, as leading man, early in the picture, gives Gertie the garter, thinking it a bracelet. It is Ray’s engagement gift to Gertie. Later the engagement is broken and Ray discovers his mistake. His frantic quest after the elusive and incriminating garter provides the laughs for the picture. During the search Sally Rand, in the role of Ray’s new fiancee, catches him in Gertie’s room searching Gertie’s trunk for the garter. The audience knows why Ray is there, but his fiancee does not, and she believes him faithless. Vulinini, the master magician, will appear at Everybody’s on Thursday under special engagement. “RAMONA” AT STRAND ON FRIDAY “Ramona.” Dolores Del Rio’s first United Artists starring production, has been booked into the Strand Theatre for showing next Friday. Director Edwin Carewe, who presents the picture, feels that no finer vehicle could have been chosen for Miss Del Rio’s debut than Helen Hunt Jackson’s immortal American loves classic. As the half-breed girl, the sensation of “What Price Glory” and “Resurrection,” is said to have the finest opportunity her cyclonic career has yet given her. In the supporting cast of featured players are found such artists as Warner Baxter, Roland Drew, Vera Lewis and Michael Visaroff.

It is a gripping story of early California and is filled with romance, as if those witnessing it on the screen were turning the pages of golden history in the days of the Missions and the Spanish Dons.
