AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S.^

When pleasures pall and work be comes a weariness, then is the time tc visit Everybodys, where to-night "Still W T aters," one of the most striking ol all Famous Players productions will b€ seen. In this film, which beer adapted from the novel of the same name by Edith Barnard Delano, Marguerita Clark takes the leading part, The five acts of this charming photoj play must be seen to be remembereq with a feeling akin to pleasure, and ii seems to be almost a duty that those ol every walk of life should make a poinl of being present before Thursday, wher the programme will be changed. In ad' dition to the leading picture an inter osting zooland picture, "Feeding tht Reptiles," a Kalem comedy and a ear toon subject, will be shown.

THREE STAES. A sensational picture will be showi to-niglit, entitled "Should a Babj Die?" Should a hopelessly deformec or mentally affected child be allowec to perish in the interests of the hu man race? This is the query oi which "Should a Baby Die" isTound ed. The story is simple anqybeautiful and the life of the crippied chih makes an emphatic answer in the ne gative to the query. In the words o the film itself, Jove will work miracle: and in the play the little cripple grow; after all, into a lovely woman. Arthu Donaldson, who has a record for th< number of his famous screen impel sonations, is well cast as the old Je\ pawnbroker, who brings up the littl girl, and Ga?;elh> Marche is a pleasinj heroine. The story is founded on ; case which created fever heat excite ment in the U.S.A., where a doctor ad vised a mother to allow- a hopeless! deformed child to forego an operatioi which would have saved its life." Th child died, and the doctor was brough before the Medical College and struci off the rnedicaT roll. To-morrow nigh a fine Metro, entitled "Final Judj ment," also the first episode of th great naimal series "Wild Animals a large, or Sport in many Lands" wi! be shown.
