EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.
"THE MILLIONAIRE." George Arliss is at his best in "The Millionaire," although ho discard* the dramatic climaxes and the flights of rhetoric of his provious pictures for a modern role iu o story that is essentially a comedy. He invest every moment of the film, which will begin at Everybody's Theatre on Monday, with tlio charm of his personality and the finesse of his acting, and it is a delight to watch liiß every gesture, for each is filled ivith subtle meaning. Thero aro many genuinely humorous situations, particularly in the complications resulting from the "double. lifo" led by tho central llgtiro; and there Is wit and polish to much of tho dialogue, which was written specially by Booth Tarkington, and this wit Is given extra point by tho deliciously ironical interpretation of Arliss.
