EVERYBODY'S. REGINALD DENNY COMEDY. "OUT ALL XIGHT." Ilegina'.d Denny appears at Everybody's Theatre in a comedy full of action, entitled "Out All Night." Denny has a striking screen personality, that, probably, has been his greatest asset, though ho is also an actor of much more than average ability. He is the personification oi vigorous" manhood, acd so it was not surprising that a iull house greeted his latest picture at Everybody's last night. The main vein of "Out All Night" is, of course, comedy. Denny takes the part of a ship's his motive being to bo near the lady to whom he is attracted. In his position ho is the centre of many highly amusing situations. Marion Nixon plays opposite Denny, and is effective throughout, though the scope of her part is somewhat limited. Very good work, indeed, is doue by V.'heeler Oakman, who portrays the part of a susceptible and amorous young man, and he is responsible for much of the humour.

Tho story:—John Graham is fascinated ci a music"hall by the principal girl of the ballet, Molly O'Day, though his companion, medical officer of the s.s. Cryptic, is merely Iwred. Quickly events load to a marriage, and at the wedding break-fast the doctor takes too much wine acd Graham takes his place on the boat, a gouty captain demanding that there 6hould be a doctor on board for the voyage to England. The pseudo Medical officer charms all the ladies, but the chief o'ficer exercises iron discipline, doing his utmost to frustrate "Dr." Graham from being near Holly, who fortunately sprains an a.iklc. Another lady of the ballet adds complications, which are increased v/liei' "Dr." Graham has to give up his cabin after making plea-snnt arrangements with hi 3 dancing wife. However, after many difficulties, matters are finally righted. A double International News film was full or interest, as was a Bray Studio pictaro showing points of interest from several parts of the world. An interesting Australian pictuib showing views of the Gippslund country revealed good photography. The first part of the programme was completed by a comedy cf the slapstick variety. The orchestra, under Mr A. Bidgood, played "Reminiscences of AVagner," Brahms's suite "Puppets," and the following lighter items:—"A Night. Out - ' (Ridstone), "Passing Show'' (Finck), "Kigoletto Higgles" (a iazz item), "Punch and Judy" (Fletcher), in "My Ain Folk," Mr Herbert Fox, cornretist, was the soloist.
