EVERYBODY'S.

EXCEPTIONALLY TSRTLLTANT TWOSTAR PROGRAMME.

It is seldom that picturo patrons have the opportunity to see a programme of such brilliance and interest as the new selection of films screened to an tnthiisiastie audience at Everybody's la?t night. The popular young actress Jean appears in a tensely dramatic feature, "Whoso Fiiulcth a Wife," from tl.e MossFrohman studios, and Earle Williams and Ethel Terry in the Greater Vitagrapli mystery play. "Apartment 29." The first-mentioned picture is a powerful well-balanced drama of compelling interest, in which .lean Sothern is superb as the wife sold into marriage by her parents. The scene on the honeymoon, where tile wife refuses to allow her husband to share her room, tellintr him of the compact made, that she is to be his wife in name only, is one of the most • intensely dramatic scenes yet enacted for motion pictures. The unfolding of the plot until the young wife realises that her husband really loves her, provides the dramatist with unlimited scope for scenes of a highly dramatic nature. Loo Delaney plays opposite Miss Sotheni and gives a masterful and powerful performance. The Greater Vitagraph feature, "Apartment 20," has all the necessary plot to make one of the most interesting and fascinating pictures screened'for some time, and-the climax with its revelation is equal to the best that has ever been employed in such a drama. Earle Williams, as the hero, gets deeper and deeper into complications that seem absolutely tragic, when at the end a mere look and a suggestion turn his predicament into a roaring farce at once apparent to the audience. Clever acting and direction do this, but the author has written a most clever story to do it with. The same programme will be repeated to-night.
