EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.
There wore crowded houses at Everybody's Theatre on Saturday, when two favourites. Madge Kennedy and Tom Moore, were eeen in "The Fair Pretender," a vehicle,for wholesome fun. Madge is an aspirant for histrionic stardom,.'and Tom is an author whose works never see the publishing room; the one, when at her last resources financially and socially, poses "as, the widow of an officer whose name she selects at random from the telephone book, and is accepted in the best circles; the other, ■ with the help of a wealthy friend, is admitted into society and lionised as the author of the hour. All would have been well, but for tho untimely arrival of the supposed defunct officer. ■' The complications that ensue are delightfully unconventional and humorous, genuinely funny and piquant. Sensation is lent by the exposure of a German spy. The acting is admirable, and the fashionable settings are a fea,ture of the piece. Supporting items include "The House of Hate" serial and Topical Gazettes of interest.
