"THE MOLLYCODDLE."
"The Mollycoddle," adapted from the novel' by Harold M'Grath, is Douglas Fairbanks' latest screen offering, and which will commonce at Everybody's Theatre to-morrow. The star is seen as the descendant of a fighting line of ancestors, but civilisation has created him ,a fop. But a real girl entered the sphere of things. Then his ancestry took hold. He forged to the front and scouted as his plainsman grandfather might have scouted; stood up under fire as his revolutionary grandfather had dona; rescued beauty in distress as his cavalier father surely did; and fought as all of his grandfathers would have done if rolled into one. Wallace Beery as the "villain" has considerable to do in developing "the Mollycoddle" over his environment, and Rutli Renick, as the pretty'girl who starts the turning point of it all, is responsible for many of the thrilling situations. The supports are of good variety, and the musical selection excellent.
