PICTURE HOUSES. GREATER CRYSTAL PALACE. 'Uano Eyre," with its power and vigour, and It# uncww. almost horrible, fascination; ia admirably adapted to movie picture purposes. It is any English clasaio ia mare adaj>ted to the very modern form of anvoJKmont that Has captured 'the whole world; and Mr Hugo Bsllin's rendering for the HoaKnson Corporation, novr being produced at Greater Crystal Palace, has succeeded in bringing to life not only the clearest outstanding characters cf the story, but also the very atmosphere that Charlotte Bronte created, Charlotte Bronte surely could sot have expected a mor«r faithful representation of her best character than that given, by Mi&s Mabel Sallin. All through, the extraordinary dramatio force commanded by Charlotte Bionti is cleverly thrown on the screen. The sstting is strictly, typically and beautifully English. A Universal special attraction, "Another plan's Shoes'' is notable on account of Mr Herbert. Rawlinson, one of the moat popular movie picture actors, taking the leading part. It is an adaptation of a modern story, which centres around one young l man's resemblance to another man. It ia an admirable mixture of comedy and drairili, of jest and earnest, with a plot full of rapidly moving incidents. The supporting films are Another chapter of "RoWnßon Crusoe" and a comedy, "True Blue." In the latter the remarkable hor»e Queenie. which puts the horses in "Gulliver's Travelsf' to shame, takes the part of a domestic/ servant. The orchestra, undor l£r A. J". Buns,'" - 'does very fine • wqrk. The programme will be Repeated to-day and to-ni'glit. LIBERTY THEATRE. ia a flung usually to be avoided, but "Trouble," with Jacky Coogan now showing at the Libeity Theatre, is something to go out of one's way to see. It Is a lengthy picture, bright with oemedy, and with some pathetic scenes w well, and it goes to ahow that tha cleverness of this wonderful boy is not just a flash in, the pan, ~ts work 13 altogeth&r note worthy. He is in the character of a waif, who later ja adopted, and has to bear the groater part of the responsibility 'of keeping the heme together, owing to tha drunkenness oi the head of the hqrcse. Tha story is introduced by a cleverly done prologue by Master Bert Goodlani. The supporting pictures arc up to the high standard act by this theatre.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. Wallace Raid is the attraction ftt 3Nrybody's . Theatre this v.'eeJc in a Paramount adaptation of - George du Mtturiar's novel, "Peter Ibbetson," e, love story* gripping and tragic.

Oppoaita Raid ia Miss plwse Foryuson, who portrays Very w , tiatic&fly the vu chess of Towers. Photo* graphically and in the matter of studio-craft the picture is somewhat remarkable, the vision ecenea being admirably worked out. Bebe Daniels appears or the programme in. a snappy story. "The March Hare," a tola of Americn millionaire circles. The supporting -metamntre topical and interesting, while the musical programme contains some c&azmJug aumlwrs. ( GRAND THEATRE. I2eyd Hugies and Madjje Bellamy score another triumph in ■ their march towards screw tzaineqoe in "Love Hirer Dies." Both tho leading players have sympathetic roles in which the commonplace of rural, life is accentuated in tho dramatic events ox .the . story. Lloyd Hughes has shown to good advantage in hia previous successful parts in "Below th» Surface" and "Howettpun .Folia," but never before has ho been called, upon'far «uoh dram&UQ heights as he reached in the current production. Miss Bellamy personifies the theme of the story , in her undying lave for the man from whom she is separated, "Love Never Dies," ia the chief attraction on the current programme at the Grand Theatre. An added attraction is the presentation oc the mystifying turn, sawing through a 'woman, by P. T. Selbit, who d',fcl<wca the secret «f the illusion to his audience. QUEEN'S THEATRE.
