EVERYBODY'S.

"THE BONDAGE OF FEAR." A belated honeymoon trip to a mountain cottagp affords the scene of the dramatic central incidents of "The Bondage of Fear," the fine x 'World Film drama now screening at Everybody's this afternoon and to-night. This play is the best of this good firm's productions yet released, and is remarkable for some new artistic studio work on sub-titles. The play has a particularly strong plot Ibased on the infatuation of a rejected lover for the heroine. His headstrong conduct places fcer in a position of awful danger, which is hideously Increased when he is shot down by an intruding burglar. The latter promptly seizes on the situation to turn it to profit, and settles down to blackmail the unfortunate young wife. Ethel Clayton as the heroine is magnificent, and her powerful acting places her in the very front rank of screen artists. Arthur "Ashley as "Skinny," the arch villain, is 'most impressive, especially in the scene on the lonely mountain lake where he buries in its still waters, the body of his victim. In addition to the above film the programme also includes '•Topical War Budget," "A Corner in Wheat," a Sclig Comedy and "Chateaux of Touraine," a delightful colored scenic series.
