EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

With an ultra modern theme, "Children of Divorce," a picture as good as it is unusual, is the main attraction at Everybody's Theatre this week. It presents certain new ideas, many of which might not appeal to some, but there are also disclosed some profound truths which might afford piuch thought to those affected. The story is set v in three stages. In the early parts c n'l* dren plav the leading roles —they are the children of divorce, lacking parental care and oversight, realising their position in society, yet yearning for that which has been lostto them through no fault of their owu. Clara Bow takes the part of the flapper who marries the son of a wealthy engineer, and she takes a difficult part with rare ability. In the early stages of the story she shows all the vivacity usually associated with the flapper type, and in the final scenes she shows a strong sense of drama, particularly when she decides to take her life to allow her husband and her friend to marry. The part of the friend is appealingly played by Esther Ralston, who is always winsome and attractive. The two principals and the other ladies in.tho cast are exquisitely gowned, and their frocks are shown to the best advantage in the spacious interior scenes and the charming gardens about the residences of the wealthy. There is a good supporting programme, including a comedy and news film.
