EVERYBODY'S.
MATINEE TO-DAY. "THE PERILS OF DIVORCE." Is divorce becoming too easy to obtain ? Some, say it is; others say it is justified by the eases where unhappy marriages are dissolved. There is no doubt that it is possible 'for a great wrong—sometimes to the man, sometimes to the woman, sometimes to the children— to be done when justice is blind. How blind justice can be is strikingly demonstrated in the World Film Corporation's original and intensely dramatic success, "The •Perils of Divorce," to be presented at Everybody's this afternoon and to-night. Here the recently organised World Film Corporation is said to have scored a big hit with the public, which has been quick to see the great possibilities of the photoplay as a means of presenting the human aspects of great social problems. The cast, headed by Edna Wallace Hopper and Frank Sheridan, is a strong one, and the drama is presented on a scale worthy of the theme. The supporting items are featured by a delightfully amusing "Jungle" nature comedy, "'Discovered,'' in which wild animals of the jungle depicted in diverting antics while at play, and a charming colored film by the Pathe Company, "Fowls and Game Birds."
