ENTERTAINMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGH! OF "“SAVED FROM THE SEA.” Among the strikingly successful film plays that have been produced in England in the .ast few years, “Saved from the Sea,” the screen adaptation of Shirley’s famous melodrama, must surely take pride of place. The picturesque settings of the Cornish coast, beautiful photography, the realism of the emotional acting of Nora Swinburne and Philip Anthony, all tend to make this a memorable screen achievement. From the finding of the sea-waif by the two fishereu who loved her. up to the final moment of the play when Dan is proved innocent after almost meeting death on the scaffold, there is not a dull or uninteresting moment. The bill includes gazette, interest and Pathe comedy. Doraldina. the famous dancer, who is the daughter of a Cherokee Indian and an American girl, is th recognised authority on Hawaiian dances. This makes her latest picture, “ r |'h e Woman Untamed,” at Everybody’s Theatre to-morrow, when she is wrecked on a cannibal island and elected to the proud office of native goddess, even more interesting. THE PEOPLE’S. JEWEL CARMEN IN “SILVER LINING.” In this fascinating romance by Roland West, in which love and the law come to grips, beautiful Jewel Carmen, as “the Angel,” gives to the sensational role all that vibrant reality which marked the actual occurrences upon which the picture story is founded. As told by a United States secret service agent, two waifs Sre adopted from an orphan asylum. One is taken to a home of wealth and refinement, where she is given all the advantages of unlimited money and high social standing. The other, known as “the Angel,” is reared in the home of skilled thieves and educated in the devious ways of defying the law. The girl of wealth in time is engaged to a famous young author, while “the Angel/’ because of ner proficiency and beauty, becomes the ruling spirit of a gang of high-class ciooks that makes society its prey. In the course of its operations the gang marks the wealthy author for a “victim.” Bat tricky fate, with sardonic humor* brings the two former inmates of the orphan asylum together, and the thrilling contest of the society belle and the girl of crookdom to win the man thap both desire, brings about a climax thriving in its unusual and unexpected results. The bill includes gazette, comedy and “The Diamond Queen.”
