EVERYBODY' 3. TOE STAIN IN THE BLOOD." The chief picture on the new programme at Everybody's to-night and tomorrow is the Mutual do luxe feature, "The Stain in the Blood," a tense antl powerful dramatic story written about a strange inheritance and what it meant in sorrow, joy and suffering to many lives. Edythe Sterling is featured in this atory which contains many of the most exciting moments ever offered screen patrons. There is a good supporting selection which includes a pretty scenic picture, a comedy drama and one of those humorous Vogue comedies.

A MOTION PICTURE WONDER. "THE AUCTION BLOCK." COMING TO EVERYBODY'S. All the "elemental vigor, the swift course of action, and the great human appeal that are ever present in the stories of Hex Beach are brought out and emphasised in the strongest possible way by the great Goldwyn film, "The Auction Block," which is a true and complete picture version of the greatest of all this splendid writer's novels, and shows at Everybody's .next Tuesday and Wednesday, October 8 and 9. Rex Beach lias always been a writer of "best sailers," and when all the latest advances of pictorial screen work are brought to bear on the visualisation of his beautiful stories, there is, in the way of praise, nothing more to be said. "The Auction Block" has been the subject of the most gracious eulogiums since first it was presented to the people of a great continent, and the true point of view has certainly been made, for the great writer himself has had much to do with this screening of his story. "The Auction Block" picture has appealed to everybody more even than the original novel. The admission prices for this big super-attraction will bo stalls Is and D.C. Is 6d, The box 1 plan is at Collier's and seats can bo booked without extra charge.

THE EMPIRE. ETHEL CLAYTON IN "STOLEN HOURS." There are some very dramatic situations in the World drama, "Stolen Hours," which shows to-night and tomorrow night at £hc Empire. The leading lady is the ever-popular Ethel Clayton who, in this picture takes the part of a daughter of a professional gambler. In spite of her rearing and environment she remains unsullied although decidedly unconventional, impulsive and fearless. Her father's gambling house is raided by the police. She escapes and also aids a young stranger to do so. He had visited the place unconscious of its nature and had he been caught his brilliant career as a member of Parliament would have been'ruined. But it comes near to rain notwithstanding, because he falls in love with the gambler's daughter. There is an impassable barrier between them, but to reveal the nature of it would in_ part spoil the story. Through many vicissitudes however they at last win their way to happiness. The play is strong in dramatic, value and holds the interest unfailingly to the last, while some of the situations are distinctly unconventional. There is another picture of Extraordinary interest on this programme under the title of "The Story of the Drifters," which deals in a most interesting manner with the work of the Admiralty mine-sweepers.
