EVERYBODY'S.
LAST NIGHT OF WILLIAM S. HART i IN "THE-tJAPTIVE GOD." A strikingly spectacular romance, entitled "The Captive God," is the leading feature of the programme shown at Everybody's on Saturday. It is beyond doubt one of the most startling films ever released from the Triangle studios. W. S. Hart, who will be.iemembered for his fine work in "The Fighting Parson" and "Hate," plays the leading role| in this production. The picture tells a story of a little Spanish boy, who is cast upon the shores of the East Coast of Mexico early in the sixteenth century, when Mexico was dominated by the Aztec Indians;, Tlie local natives a tribe called the Tehuans, brought him up as their God and called him Chcapa. When he reached manhood he was given authority over the entire tribe. The, battle scenes in the picture are wonderful, and at times most thrilling. Running through the picture is a well defined love story. Supporting items include a mirth-provoking comedy, "Kernel Nutt in High Shoes," with Frank: Daniels in the leading role. To-night will be the final screening of this programme.
