EVERYBODY’S

“WRATH OF THE GODS” “Wrath of the Gods,” now being shown at the Evei-ybody's Theati-e, was produced in its entirety thousands of feet above sea level in the Swiss mountains. The vast illimitable spaces, the dizzy heights, and the awe-inspiring gi-andour of the mighty peaks, raising their heads amid the clouds, will hold the spectator spellbound. It is against this background that a tense drama of love and hate is enacted. The scenario of the film called for vast interiors of ice caves, an ice cathedral and other large buildings, and it is these “sets” that will amaze the spectator. This film might be called a triumph of the producer and the camera over the vastness of nature, for the whole setting was screened in the Swiss Alps —not the. Alps as known to the casual visitor, but the dizzy heights and roaring torrents, and the vast snow fields known only to the expert skier and mountaineer. • Hot Heels,” a delightfully amusing Glen Tryon comedy, is the second atti'action, The sublime gift of choking off a sob with a lieai*ty laugh, in the opinion of Farrell Macdonald, is the highest expression of artistic endeavour. In “Riley, the Cop,” in which he has the stai'i'ing role, Mr. Macdonald makes a swift transition which looks simple In reality this rapid change from the depths of sorrow to the heights of mirth, is achieved by hard work and close application.
