EVERYBODY'S.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG TO-NIGHT Clara Kimball Young, than whom there is no greater emotional actress in pictures, is the star in the first of the new World Film plays, commencing at Everybody's matinee to-day. Entitled ''The Feast of Life," it shows this eminent artist in dual roles. In public she is "The Lady of the Lily," a beautiful Cuban girl betvothc.d against her will to a wealthy Spaniard. Secretly she is a dancing girl at a tavern sweethearting with a young fisherman named Pedro. He is unaware that the alluring jade of the tavern is really the wife of Don Armada, and there is a tense situation where he leads a croiVd of infuriated fishermen to avenge the betiayal (if his sister, who in her dying moments has named Armada as the cause of her shame. Pedro is astounded to find that his (dancing girl is also "The Lady of the Lily,' and the bride of his sister's betrayer. The drama moves through scenes of blazing passion and fierce intrigue, such as only the Latin temperament can be capable of, to a satisfying denouncement. With the unfailing instinct of the Frenchman for the artistic Albert Cappelani has succeeded in investing the picture with rare charm and finish. Acting, atmosphere, and both interior and outdoor settings are said to be perfect in every .detail. The picture was staged at.
