EVERYBODY’S. “ Bab’s Burglar” which did not arrive in time for screening on Monday is now here and will be shown at the Town Hall to-morrow (Thursday). “ Bab’s Burglar” is the second of the sub-deb featuring that dainty artist of the screen, Marguerite Clark. The success of ‘Bab’s Burglar’ was phenomenal, and is without doubt one of the strongest series of these charming stories of the “girl who would not grow up.” Never in all her screen history has this great artist ever been given greater opportunities to show ability, than in these sub-deb series, which appear as if they were absolutely created for her. The supporting pictures include a Mack-Scnnett comedy and an American gazette. KING’S THEATRE.

Exquisite Emmy Wehlen, one of the cleverest and daintiest of the Metro stars, is the principal attraction in “The Outsider,” which is to he shown at the King’s to-night.

Taylor, himself a famous playright and motion picture expert, who has taken full advantage of its dramatic possibilities. “The Outsider” deals in beauty and thrills. Never before, perhaps, have such magnificent scenes been photographed in connection with a screen drama. One of the handsomest private homes in America was used as the background for “The Outsider.” and it provided the ideal setting for the star’s dainty charms. The supporting items include a smart Met-ro-Drew comedy. These artists will be welcome after a long absence from the screen.
