EVERYBODYS. “The Grell Mystery,’’ a five-reel Blue Ribbon Vitagraph detective drama, in which the popular and favorite star, Earle Williams -is seen at the zenith of his career, is the special feature at Everybody’s change of programme to-day. The most modern method of crime-detection is vividly shown in this production. “The. Grell Mystery” concerns the murder of a blackmailer bv diis wife. The woman kills him to protect Grell, who is the double of her husband. Tlie body is discovered and mistaken for that of Grell, who is. in liidihg. The mystery is not fully cleared up until the last moment, and not before four other people are suspected of the murder. The acting, photography and staging are of the highest order. Comedy of the richest runs rampant in the 2000 foot Triangle “Whose Baby?” This is a series of. .complications that compels Jaughs and some of the funniest positions imaginable arise. The storm at the finish is a scream. As usual, other supports wil] be shown. HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE His Majesty’s has settled down to , a run of popular support, the theatre being again well filled last evening. To-night there will he a complete change of programme, and a b.ig series of attractions is promised, in- \ eluding two star films, “The Regentratibn,” featuring Rockcliffe Fellowes and Anna Neilsson, and “The Mediator,” with the,-popular George Walsh and vivacious Juanita Hansen in the leading roles. The former is a powerful story of New York l-'fe showing some remarkable scenes in ( file great metropolis and having for its theme the regeneration of a waster by coming in contact with a little girl. The story is full of unusual situations, which arc sympathetically treated. The other star film is of quite a _ different' type and has its setting in the mining camps of Arizona, of which it gives a clear and forceful picture. George Walsh is right in his element in the story, and has some exciting tussles with strikers and mine-robbers in course of an enthralling narrative. The drama also contains an appealing love story, and is altogether a remarkably fine play. Prominent among the supporting films is another of the irresistible Fox comedies under the title of “His Bond Policy,” in which the merry trio, Charles Conklin, Alf Goulding and Ann Ivers have opportunity for some rib-tiek-ling work. This big programme will be commenced at 7.45 p.m. Bookings may be made at the London Music Shop.
