THE PICTURE SHOWS.

EVERYBODY'S. The two feature programme 1 which patrons at Everybody’s have been given so regularly in the past will be screened as usual to-day. notwithstanding the announcement of a railway strike. The programme promises to be one of exceptional merit, for one of the stars is '‘Carmen of the Klondykq,” a story of the frozen north, of wild men and dance halls, and of a woman, whose role, as Carmen of the Klomlyke, is one of the most remarkable pieces of character studies yet given to the screen. This part is played to perfection by Clara Williams, and as a woman who goes into the wilds of the Arctic snows to marry her lover, she makes the most of the part. Amid the wild life of the Tvlondyke she meets with a terrible disappointment, love turns to fury, and a good woman becomes a passionate Carmen. The magnificent beauty of a snow setting forms for the play a background which increases the realism of this stirring story. Exciting incidents abound, a terrific fight, and a sensational sleigh ride being only two of the big scenes. In "The Bluffer." starring June Divulge. there is told a fascinating story of modern society, and of the tragedy in the life of a woman who is asked to make a choice between bluff and poverty. Some big moment's occur in this well-staged film, the cast of which includes June Elvidge. _ At the matinee "Carmen of the Kloi.dykc” and a good supporting programme will be shown.

I THE PALACE. To-night an especially entertaining programme is promised at the Palace i Theatre. The whole of the programme I arrived on Saturday, so patrons are assured of seeing all the advertised attractions. The headliner will be the miglitv Fox melodrama. “The Russian Cur,” - a seven-reel super-feature in which the magnetic actress Miriam Cooper is the starred artiste. Miss Cooper is well known here by her many big performances, amongst which is I "The Tale of Two Cities.” In “The i Russian Cut” this beautiful aiul talent- ! ed star has unlimited opportunities as I "Eosv O’Grady 55 to display her womler- ! fnl talents. Lila Lee, the favorite ! Paramount actress, is probably one of 1 the most winsome screen stars in the world as the leading character in j "Such a Little Pirate. 55 she has won ! golden opinions from all critics in England and Australia. The story is billed as the "sweetest love story ever told. 1 and the Paramount Company may be relied upon to live up to their advertisements. Dramatised from the well- - novel of the popular author 1 Oliver Curwood, “Such a Little Pirate” must, be filled with, interest. The supporting programme will contain many interesting features, including a splendid colored scenic study. Seats may be booked at Muir’s.
