AMUSEMENTS.

B V E R Y B O D V is. “The Race’ ’has to do with the adventures of Jimmy Grayson. Jimmy loses ten thousand dollars in gambling and is disowned by his ; stern father. While standing in the street he is run into by an automobile driven by a beautiful young feminine chaffeur. The owner of the car secures Jimmy

employment as a mechanic in a garage. Mr. Van Dyke, her father, Is a clerk in Grayson’s office, and to obtain money to make models of a new carburettor he has invented, has stolen nine thousand dollars from the firm. Grace/ his daughter, working as a chaffeur, is ignorant of this theft until it is finally discovered, and he is forced to confess to her. Grayson plans a transcontinental trip. The regular driver having been taken ill, Jimmy is appointed substitute. The rival firm, learning of this, also fit up* a car for a similar trip, and Grace, hoping to secure sufficient money to keep her father out of gaol, is allowed to drive it. So Jimmy and Grace, each unknown to the other, start on their long transcontinental trip. Obstacles of every description are placed in their way. Finally the Grayson agents send Grace over the wrong road, and her car plunges over a bank. There she is found by Jimmy, and the reason of her making the trip is explained. Jimmy decides that he instead of Grace’s father should go to gaol, and deliberately breaks his car. Grace tows Jimmy’s car through cheering crowds in front of the New York City Hall. As Jimmy steps out of the machine he is arrested for the gambling debt, while the triumphant rival hands Grace a cheque for the ten thousand dollars. Grace then receives a telegram from her father, stating that he has received twentyfive thousand dollars as advance royalty on the carburettor. Grace hastens to the gaol, and turns the ten thousand over to Jimmy. THHJEjD stars.

To-morrow night another Metro, “The Wall Between,” and on Thursday night, the sensational drama “The Perils of Divorce,” will be shown. On Saturday night something for the ladies will be screened.
