■-" - IVERYBODY'S MARGERY WILSON IN "THE HAND AT THE WINDOW." One can usually guess most mystery plays, but the new play at Everybody's to-iiigtit will puzzle the most astute. It is entitled "The Hand at the Window." Margery Wilson is the heroine, aaid a most charming one too. The handsome hero is Joe King, who bids fair to become one of the screen idols, while the cast includes such tried aciors as J. Barney Sherry and Francis M - Don aid, who does especially fine work as Tony. The story tells of the arrest and imprisonment of Tony i'or murder, and of his oatli to be revenged upon the defective who captured hiin. The detective later encounters at his lodginghouse a mysterious yourig lady, who ends by fascinating him. In the end he marries! her, in spite of the threat to "look out ifeesta who you getta married." That, same night a shot is fired through the window, and the finger prints reveal that Tony is the culprit, although Tony is already dead, having been shot while trying 1o escape from prison. The solution of th«-' mystery surrounding both the ynunff lady'whom the detective has married and the attempted murder is startling to a degree. The picture is very finely produced, and the parts are all "admirably chosen. It keeps the Interest at full pitch throughout.- There is also another exciting episode of "The Fatal "Ring" and a good number of the Gamuont Graphic. '' THE PEOPLE'S. JEWEL CARMEN IN "CHAMPAGNE EYES," "The Girl with the Champagne Eyes," starring beautiful Jewel Carmen, and now running at the People's, is a picture of great merit. The scenes s.re. laid first on board ship and later move to the far north where most of the play is set, in the midst of the vicious conditions which followed the wild hunt for gold. Francis Carpenter and Gertrude Messinger appear also in the cast. Z. C. Shumway is the hero, who suffers so much, while G. Raymond Nye is a splendid portrayer of the,.villain. The latest big Sunshine comedy, "Wild Women, ■ and Tame Lions," is also on tbia Ittll, Tlib »Ur is in iix reels,
