EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

A dramatisation of the story by Mary Roberts Rhinehart, the famous novelist, is being shown at the head cf the programme at Everybody's Theatre daily, under the title of "The Glorions Fool." The story is quite outof the usual run. It opens with the hero in hospital, while the heroine is the charming nurse assigned to'take care of him. Believing that he is at the point of death, the patient, in order to show his appreciation of the kindly attentions he lias received, marries his nurse and leaves her his whole fortune, which, one imagines, is by no me'ans inconsiderable. Quite unexpectedly, the hero takes a new lease of life when lie acquires his new wife, and refuses to die. On leaving the hospital after his recovery,'he has to set about wooiug his own wife, and the manner of his wooing goes to make a delightful production. Richard Dix arid Helene Chadwick have been allotted the leading roles, and they give an excellent performance in every respect. Excellent support is given by Otto Hoffman, as the deaf and dumb.orderly, Kate Lester, Vera Lewis, Theodore von Eltz, and Frederic Vroom. "The Glorious Fool" is from the studios of Famous Producers, and is well up to the standard of productions from that centre of film art. Good supporting films are shown, and Mr. Harry Avery's jazz band provides a bright programme of music.
