EVERYBODY'S. JOHN BARRYMORE AS "RAFFLEd" TO-NIGHT. "'Raffles", the great detective story by E W. Hornung, is being shown in picture form at Everybody's to-uight and to-morrow. It features John Barrymore, America's foremost actor. When the picture begins we find Raffles a guesi of the Earl of Amersteth a't Milchester Abbey, and the company there is in a state of excitement owing to the number of daring burglaries that have taken place in the neighborhood- In order to effect a capture and put'an end to this annoying state of affairs, Lord Amersteth has engaged the services of Curtis Bedford, a celebrated American detective. Raffles views his advent with complacency and self-satisfaction, and is in no way disturbed by the immediate presence of such an adept in the art of catching criminals. Indeed, he accepts a money bet offered by the detective that the latter will succeed in obtaining possession of the diamonds within twenty four hours. The" story moves forward to an interesting climax.
