ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S PICTURES. “A DAUGHTER OF TWO WORLDS.” The plot of “A Daughter of Two Worlds” is founded on a famous forgery ease, the two participants in which received ten years’ penal servitude. Ab a starring vehicle for Norma s debut under the banner of First National, it makes a milestone in the career of that brilliant young artist that should be memorable. Undoubtedly the finest work she has ever given the screen is shown in her interpretation of the striking role of Jennie, daughter of Black Jerry Malone, notorious dive,keeper. In her forceful presentation of the girl’s passage from the underworlds to an honest place in society, a passage that is fraught with dangers and thrilling adventures, Miss Talmadge gives the finest piece of character acting she has done. Leroy Scott’s most successful novel has made a perfect picture, and it is a tribute to the emotional ability of the young star that the author’s wife, on viewing the first screening was moved to tears by the wonderful characterisation of her husband's heroine as portrayed .by Norma Talmadge. The final screening takes place at Everybody’s to-pight. . Intending patrons would .be wise to reserve seats at Collier’s.. Numbers were unable to secure seats last night. COMING TO-MORROW.
