AMUSEMENTS.

PICTURE HOUSES. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. A progr»rcme of more than the usual excellence is attracting crowded houses to Everybody's Theatre this week. It is hended by "Thirty Days," featuring the late Waliace Eeid, one of the viest, loved of picture stars. Eeid appears as John Floyd whose sympathetic heart leads him into trouble. "The Morals of Marcus," the other star feature, is really not a« wicked as it sounds. Iz is a charming comedy-drama with that lovirly little lady, May McAvoy, in the leading iole. This is a quaint story, very sppcaiing, and it was accorded on excellent reception last evening. Everybody's Select Orchestra is heard in a specially selected programme.

LIBERTY THEATRE. The attraction of the- "Three Hust-Get-Theres," which features on the present bill at the Liberty T-heatre is irresistible and is responsible for the crowded house 3 which havo patronised that place of amusement throughout the present week. Tie second feature on the programme—there are turee this week—is the First National attraction,

"A Question of Honour," starring the favourite actress Anita Stewart. 'Grand Larceny" is the titie of the third picture, which stars Elliott Dexter and Claire Wirdsor. The Liberty Grand Orchestra provides excellent music.

GREATER CRYSTAL PALACE. A distinct novelty is "Night Life in Hollywood,", tho feature on the present programme at Greater Crystal Palace. 1?lie film, beside having a truly interesting plot, tells of the life of the motion picture people in their much talked of capital, Los Angeles, It shows that, after all, film stars are just ordinary folks who think, act and work, much, in the same manner as wo ourselves do. The picture contains an excellent vein of humour. Another big Hodkinson special, "The Blue Bonnet," stars charming Biilie Rhodes in a delightful story. The supports include a good Century comedy, and the latest topical. The Symphony Orchestra plays a splendid musical programme. GRAND THEATRE. The splendid Fairbanks masterpiece, "Robin Hood," is still being shown at the Grand Theatre, and ?b still growing in popularity. Tho wonderful settings of the picture, together with the great mass scenes in which the sunlight glints on the broad sward and the armour of SOO years ago, and the swift-moving action of the piece go to make up this splendid production. It w r ill be shown for the last time to-night.

STRAND THEATRE. "Trimmed in Scarlet" and "Step on It," comprise the two big pictures on the bill •which will be shown at the Strand Theatre for the last time to-night. There are good supports, and the programme should certainly not be missed. QUEEN'S THEATRE. Tho story of "My Friend, tho Devil," which is the principal attraction on the present bill at the Queen's Theatre, was taken from the novel by the French author, George Ohnet. It holds the interest, and is intensely dramatic. Stirring dramatic moments are included in every 100 feet of film, and they have been directed in such a way by tho Fox director, Harry Hillarde, that they are convincing and realistic. Apart from tho story, a feature of "My Friend, the Devil," is the acting of Chas. Richman aa George -Dryden. Richman is a fine acftr, who should get many more big roles. Romance abounds in "Good-bye, Girls," the second feature. There are thrills, too. William, Russell and Carmel Myers, winner of a movie beauty competition some years back, are the stars.
