EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.
The main attraction in the new bill at Everybody's Theatre last evenin<> was "The Voice from . the. Minaret" a *irst National production. Robert Hichens s famous novel has been perfectly adapted, '■ arid makes a screen classic. In the role of Lady Adrienhe Larlyle, fleeing to England in revolt against her husband's infidelity, Miss Norrria Talmadge rises to supreme heights, and Eugene O'Brien as the young preacher, who persuades her to join his pilgrimage to Damascus, is a manly hero. The Eastern settings are admirably done, and the theme successfully worked out in the real atmosphere of the languorous land of romance. When love comes to Adriepne and Andrew Fabian, they are checked by the prayer of a Muezzin in his minaret, summoning flagging faith. How the young couple are trapped by Sir Leslie Carlyle and then are able to enjoy the love which sprang into existence in Damascus makes in ideal story, acted with charm, and set amid colourful surroundings. There is a fine supporting cast. As a second attraction, Will Rogers appears in a comedy-drama, "Boys Will Be Boys," a human story. Another feature of the programme is the appearance of Cayelli in his original act, "Coloured Shadowgraphy."
