THE PICTURE SHOWS.

THE PALACE. The success registered on Saturday by the big programme at the Palace Theatre was continued last night, when every item was received with applause. Ethel Clayton in the name part of ‘‘‘Maggie Pepper” thrilled the audience by the intensity of her dramatic powers, which was only equalled by the intensity of the play. Bert L.yttel in the great circus drama, ‘‘One Thing at a Time,” established himself as a tirm favorite, and his next appearance will he a looked for event. The supportingitems are well above the average, _ a colored scenic study deserving special mention.

To-morrow night another big double feature attraction will he shown, when the Fox super-picture. "The Russian Cur,” will bo the headliner. This is one of the best of the AA'illiam Fox productions, with an all-star cast. The scenes are gorgeously reproduced, and many of the characters are the real persons themselves. It is a seven-reel dramatic story, and critics say every foot of every reel is full of thrills and excitement. The Paramount Company will present the favorite Lila Lee in “Such a Little Pirate,” a dramatisation of the splendid story, “Peggy the Pirate.” This attraction contains a tender love story and some very humorous situations. The supporting programme promises to he up to the standard set by the Palace Theatre. Seats may be hooked at Aluir’s.

EVERYBODY'S. The excellence of the current programme at Everybody’s for the second fune in succession attracted a capacity house last evening. The two features, Constance Talmadge in “A Lady’s Name,” and Corinne Griffith in “A Girl at Bay,” a comedy-drama and drama respectively, each commanded much attention. The comedy, “Roaring Lions and Wicked Husbands,” created the greatest merriment. To-night: will he the final presentation of this programme. Commencing at to-morrow’s matinee one of the biggest successes to date —a companion picture to “The Flame of tlie Yukon”—entitled '■Carmen of the Klondyke,” will he presented, supported by a new world drama “The Bluffer,” starring June Elvidge. In “Carmen of the Klondyke.” the new Selexart drama of the frozen Alaskan goldfields, scenes of great, natural beauty are abundant; wonderful snow scenes have been effected and a never-to-be-forgotten struggle between two men in the drenching rain provides an outstanding climax. The story deals with the love of Dorothy Harlan (“Carmen of the Klondyke”) and Cameron Stewart. In the AA’orld film drama. “The Bluffer.” June Elvidge vividly portravs the life that must lie lived by the social bluffer keeping up appearances on credit till, as in the game ot poker, the bluff is called. W alking on the edge of a precipice is nothing to the feeling June Klvidgo inspires when she answers the ’phone to the moneylender's ring, or sits down to a game of bridge knowing that she has to cheat, to win! and win to secure love. The box plan is at Aliller’s corner.
