EVERYBODY'S.

LAST SCREENING OF BARRYMORE AS THE "INCORRIGIBLE DUKANE."

'•lncorrigible Dukane," presented by the Famous Players at Everybody's Theatre last night, gives us that exuberant comedian, Barrymore in his happiest vein. Here, it is said, is a striking example of the fact that, after all, it is the man who makes the piece. As "Incorrigible Dukane" Barrymore plays the part of the luxuriating spendthrift son who in the stress of adversity finds himself —and also finds the woman of his life. Young Dukane is first introduced in a highly amusing scene in which his valet and he present an inimitable study of luxurious baehclordom. But there is an end to the patience and financial endurance of "the old man," and the young rascal is peremptorily ordered to "git up and git" for his living. This he does, at his father's construction works, but a tramp steals his clothes on the evening of his arrival at his destination, and young Dukane. in Die absence- of his father, is unable to convince the "bo?s" that he is the man he claims to be. Down and out, he throws in his lot with the men, and in the subsequent train of highly exciting events finally comes to his own. The big sensation of the piece is the fight between young Dukane. backed by his supporters, and the fraudulent superintendent and his gang, which resolves itself into a thrilling siege battle at tho works. The supporting items include a cartoon side-splitter, "The Rooster's Nightmare," and some interesting glimpses of the . British and Indian troops, while public interest will strongly attach itself to the picture of FlightLieutenant Robinson, V.C., the famous hero of the Zeppelin fight in England not long ago. To-night is the last occasion that this fine programme will bo screened in New Plymouth. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. DAINTY MARGUERITE CLARKE,

To-morrow a complete change will be screened when the feature attraction will be the latest Marguerite Clarke success, 'Tretty Sister of Jose," adapted from the famous book by Francis HodsonBurnette, With her fascinat'ng dark beauty and charming grace of form and motion, Miss Clarke is especially adapted to the role of the dainty little din-k----eyed belle of old Spain. As the exquisite Spanish girl of a thousand moods and whims, who has vowed never to low kn heart, but who, when finally conquered by the handsome Sebastiano, loves truly and devotedly, she is utterly superb. The scenic environment lew's itself faithfully to th- atmospn.y.v. of the story, and Ine rijiidlv charsri-'g development of the nl-.t, with its weaiih of color and romance, has resulted in a thoroughly unusual and picturesque photoplay. Patrons are asked -to note that this picture will be screened on Thursday and Friday only.
