EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

■ A triple feature programme commenced at Everybody's Theatre to-day. The first feature is "Bags to Riches," starring the popular juvenile screen actor, Wesley Barry. This picture is Eaid to be even better than "Schooldays," which was his best picture. Wesley Barry has the role of young Marmaduke Clarke, the over-pet-ted child of wealthy parents. Marmaduke wants adventure, but has to do all the silly things expected of him. A b#glar in the house helps him to break away from his old life, and then begins an amazing series of adventures,- ,endjng in the capture of a gang of desperate and notorious crooks. A beautiful love story is woven into the action, and gives the film a unity and perfection rarely attained in pictures. The second feature is "Conquering the Woman," adapted from the story "Kidnapping Coline," by Henry C. Rowland. The picture proves that a woman cannot bo tamed with a club—it takes a method far more subtle and artfol than mere brute strength. The story shows a father's desperate plan to cure his daughter of what he called her "new fangled, highfalutin' society notions," and save her from marrying a fortune-hunting 'count. Florence Vidor is the girl in the picture, and ,her acting as the woman who was tamed is of a very high standard. The other feature is "The Flaming Forest," starring Ruth Roland, the daredevil queen of the screen. Thrills start right at the commencement of the picture, and continue to the end: The scenery is most impressive, the picture having been taken in the heart of the big timber lands. Everybody's Popular Orchestra will be heard in a programme of suitable music.
