ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAE MARSH AT EVERYBODY'S.

Mae Marsh is undoubtedly one of the cleverest actresses of the screen. Her sweet, winsome little smile and a thousand and one little ways which are all her own, make her character portrayals most appealing in every way. Her artistry is given full play in the latest Goldwyn picture, "The Face in the Dark," which was shown at Everybody's Theatre last night. The story is a detective one, and is produced, in the all-round completeness and lavishness of the Soldwyn people. Mae Marsh is seen in the part of the daughter of a celebrated detective, whose faculties are given full play in his position of examiner in a big city bank. The bank is robbed, and the daughter's lover is arrested for the crime. The girl lias inherited from her father all the keen qualities that have made him famous as .a detective. She is convinced that her lover is innocent, and sets out to discover who is the real perpetrator of the robbery. She makes a dreadful discovery; to save her lover she will have to prove, her father guilty. The manner in which she escapes from this terrifying predicament makes ft gripping climax to an absorbing story. There is a supporting programme of fine subjects, making in all one of the best "changes" given at Everybody's for some time.
