AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY'S

"The Love Boute," a Paramount production, is the principal attraction at Everybody's. The main character in the play are a young woman, owner of a ranch, through which, t* complete a railroad system, a railway must pass, and a young civil engineer, against whom she uses every method to prevent him from accomplishing his purpose, even at the point of the revolvers of her cowboys. These two characters, when they meet, bring forth a clash, of wills seldom seen* so strongly depicted on the screen. The fact that they previously loved each other dearly adds to the intense interest of the plot. To the very end, she opposes the railroad company, blocking the, engineer at every turn. But in her hour of triumph she realises her great love for the young engineer. He is shot in a fight between : her men and his; she generously gives him the victory, and it is through her unfaltering efforts that the railroad company, herself laying the last tie, ig just in time to save the line its franchise rights. In the final scene we see the first triumphant trip of the mammoth engine,over the newly-laid route. ~ ; .Tne supporting pictures are excellent • and up to the usual high standard set : at .this theatre. ... .iuiU.fi 9f!-J fJJi .

"Apartment 29" r is supported by t4fr v artists Avho are rapidly coming to the front, Ethel Terry and Denton Vane*.... Miss Terry acts with great charm and in the closing love scenes is full '.£ of delicacy and roguishness. The. , story is one of the best mystery dra- .. mas ever screened, and the surprise at the end is quite real and genuinely unexpected. Earle Williams as the dramatic critic is splendid Finding a murdered woman lying at the door, of "Apartment 29," he loses his head and is soon involved in a grave dan-:.,. ger of being found guilty of a double-; crime. His friend turns out to be the..' worst kind of blackmailer everything ■he does gets him further into eertain,,. peril, and the oujtlook -; s speeidly very ■ black. There are two great strugglesin the piece, the fight put up by Earle Williams when he is attacke'd by the two rough characters in an old hut being a terrific affair. A Broadway playhouse, thronged with a fashionably dressed audience, is seen in the opening reel of "Apartment 29." Even the orchestra with the highsalaried leader is shown, and the lounge and lobby during the interval. "Blackmail perhaps, but pay it or get out." This is the evil made by the owner of the adjoining apartment to whom Earle Williams hero of "Apartment 29" rushes for shelter.
