EVERYBODY'S.

"ALL MAN." PEERLESS PRODUCTION BY WORLD FILMS. Robert Warwick and Mollie King are the stars in "All '.Aim,' a five-reel melodrama of Western life, which commences at Everybody's matinee this afternoon. The hero is a young New Yorker with nothing tp do but spend money. His father ships him to Montana, and young Blake's experiences in the cow country work the usual transformation. He thrashes the bully, saves the life of the heroine, and puts through a deal that shows he is smart enough to beat a rail-road president. In fact, the picture contains all the elements of the neatly turned machine-made melodrama, including a realistic railroad collision. Variety of scene and incident is aho to be found in the story, and several of the characters possess an agreeable sense of humor. "All Man" belongs to respectable middle-class melodrama, and has but one object in life —to interest that large body of moving pic'.ure devotees who ask only to be entertained. 1 With this fact in view, the performance given by Robert Warwick of Jim Blake, the hero, is quite in the proper key. His impersonation is wholly a work of art, the art of taking advantage of every opportunity to show his ability to ride and to shoot, to make love and to fight and indulge in his liking for theatric displays. Mollie King makes a distinct characterisation of Alice Maynard, and endows that young woman with the proper amount of real feeling whenever t'lic situation demands that she be serious. Greda Holmes plays the jealous sister capitally, and other well-acted parts are contributed by a strong cast.
