AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. The high standard which characterises the programmes submitted to patrons of Everybody’s is well maintained by the selection of films which is being shown this week. To-nighfs programme gives promise of equalling the best yet submitted, the star picture being “The Woman Who Did” a masterpiece in five acts, featuring the Dunedin actress Miss Eve Jb'alfour, who has made a name for herself as a first-rate screen actress In England. A screaming Chaplin comedy entitled “The Bank,” will also be shown. Other good supporting pictures make up a programme that should not be missed. AT THE THREE STARS TO-NIGHT. MARY PICKFORD. Francis Hodgson Burnett’s great drama “The Dawn of a To-morrow” has long been a stage favourite. Now comes the Famous Players screen version with “Little Mary,” the world’s sweetheart., and the screen’s greatest exponent in the lead. In this celebrated play that gladdened the hearts of so many and the screen version of which will cheer as many thousands more. Mary Pickford portrays the wonderful character of Glad, the beautiful ragged girl of the London slums, whose undying optimism and heroic courage, even starvation and deadly peril are unable to quench. The delicacy of Miss Pickford’s portrayal and the threads of symbolism woven about the drama are said to make an unforgettable impression on the spectator. How the ignorant little slum girl, by her beautiful faith in the mysterious power she but vaguely comprehends, is enabled to save her lover’s life from the gallows, keeps a great financier from suicide, bringing him new hope and meaning of life, and awaken his reprobate nephew to a better manhood, are vividly told. It has been said that this drama of human suffering and hope has brought to many a despairing soul a new inspiration to bear the trials of to-day in the expectancy of to-mor-row’s dawn. “The Dawn of To-mor-row” will be screened for one night only. Fred Mace, “Crooked to the End.” will also be shoAvn to-night and other attractions.
