ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY'S. i "SURRENDER OF GERMAN FLEET" TO-NIGHT. "Der Tag" ia the appropriate and comprehensive title of the remarkable film which is to be screened at Everybody's tonight and at both sessions to-mor-row. This is an authentic screen record of the surrender of the German Fleet at Seapa Flow, the Firth of Forth, and elsewhere to the victorious might of the British Navy, and, in addition, the Armistice celebrations in Britain, France, and Belgium. The picture, which is splendidly produced, gives a thoroughly representative and varied set of views of the arrival of the German Fleet under Admiral Meurer, of the British Fleet, and of the principal actors in this greatest of all dramas. The scenes include details aboard the ships, panoramic views of the grey monsters, wonderful scenes from the air in which the greatest battleships appear merely as strange sea-denizens, views of submarines in endless line, and above all Admiral Beatty with cap as usual at a defiant angle. The scenes of Armistice Day give an excellent idea of the wild excitement which occurred in London and on the Continent when "Der Tag" camo to be celebrated by the civilian portion of the population. The crowds in the street make a series of remarkable pictures. In addition there are other such historic scenes as that of King George at Buckingham Palace, the celebrations round the Victoria Monument, and views of London taken from the air . This last is one of the most distinctive pictures yet taken. "Der Tag" is a monumental film which gives a really adequate presentment of the great event which it sets out to depict.' Apart from the extreme interest which it arouses it is an historic Tecord of first importance. Harry Morey stars on the same programme in a Blue-ribbon feature, "A Game With Fate," Seats may be reserved for either night at Col' lier's.
