EVERYBODY'S.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN "THE COMMON LAW." Of all the film productions announced this year none liaa aroused greater interest among picture followers than tlie presentation'of that popular star, Clara Kimball Young, in a six-reel adaptation of Robert W. Chambers' world-famous novel, "The Common Law,'' which will be seen at Everybody's Theatre next Monday night. Thin picture was produced under the guidance of Albert Capollani, who is best known to picture followers as the producer of such feature plays as "Les Miserables" and "The Feast of Life." The star has been surrounded by a strong cast erf players. The leading male role has been entrusted to Mr. Conway Tearle, one of the most popular leading men on the American stage. Paul Capellani, who played Armand to Miss Young's Camille, will he seen in the role of Querida, the "villain." Miss Lillian Cook, formerly .with the World Film productions, will portray the ingenue, part. Others in the cast include Edward Kimball, Miss Young's father. The story of "The Common Law" lias been changed very little in its adaptation to screen requirements. Tlw millions who have read the Chambers novel, and thrilled with sympathetic solicitude for its heroine, win, ib is claimed, And the picturised version even more to their liking, while those who have never read the story will enjoy the picture for its own sake, us one of the few really groat film productions cf the year. This picture has been an enormous success wherever shown. In AVellington alone over 32,000 people paid for admission during the two weeks it was screened. During the first week the receipts for the Empire' Theatre established a record for New Zealand theatres. Loral patrons who wish to be sure of a seat would be well advised to boos at Collier's. CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN A "MUTUAL" ■ COMEDY. This afternoon and to-night at Everybody's the famous cinema comedian, Charles Chaplin, will be seen in his latest comedy success, "One A.M." In this great piece of screen acting "Charlie" presents his own original vaudeville act, one that made him famous as the '4unny drank." Except for the taxi driver who brings »him home (to the wrong house), Charlie holds the stage alone. The house he has entered by mistake is the'home of a wealthy clubiivaii, who has a hobby of collecting stuffed animals. There's a great, big, tierce bl.if.lv bear and a nice tamo tiger (rug), with terrible yawning jaws. A stuffed mountain lion purrs beside him, a mounted ostrich seems to his befuddled brain to be begging for crumbs. Those terrible stairs that won't let him reach the top, that awful table tl at rims away with the whisky decanter, and the folding bed—well, Charlie has a night of nights. So will every picture patron who can manage to squeeze into , Everybody's to-night. As hundreds , were turned away last Saturday, late , comers would be wall advised to' reserve \ their seats at>C6!lier's for to-night.
