EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.
"The Family Upstairs," tlio principal attraction at Everybody's Theatre this week, must bo classed with the brightest and best comedies seen here £Ol- a long time. Rife,ht from the start the comedy element is pre: dominant, but at times there sro (ouches of pathos which add considerably to tlio appeal of the picture. The story depicts various happenings in the life of an average family, and should appeal to nil. Certainly last night's big house thoroughly enjoyed itgelf, for the patrons rocked with laughter at the humorous situations v/ilh which the story js crammed. The second feature, The Wise \ lrgin, is a splendid film, good enough to he a main feature at any'theatre. The action centres round the infatuation of a young girl for a handsome foreigner. The girl's grandmother suspects the Count of wooing her grand* daughter for her money, and sets about in her own way to discourage the match. Patsy Ruth Miller, as the granddaughter, and Matt Moore, as the Count, arc the principals in a charming and satisfactory story.
