TO-NIGHT’S PICTURES.

EVERYBODY’S, HASTINGS

Viola Dana, the brilliant little Metro stay, who was appearing at tins theatre quite recently in one ot the biggest and most appealing pictures ever made, delignted patrons of Everybody's last mgut witn her charm and acting in Metro’s latest wonderp.ay, “Tne winding Trail." Briiiy tne story is this: — When a caravan crossing tne desert, is refused a suppiy of water by the bandit Waldo, tne girl (Viola Dana) dresses as a child, goes to him and finally softens ms heart. A Mexican re reals her subterfuge, and is about to hold her, when he discovers she is looking for Steel, wiio mis wronged her sister. He lets her go on condition that she brings Steel to him. inis she succeeds in doing. Waldo then forces his wife, whom lie had ill-treated because of a previous affair with Steel, to choose between them; she fires am. Steel falls. The bandit then tehs ms wife she is free to go her own way and she starts across the desert. The girl, her vengance satisfied, now finds that she loves the bandit and the story ends in a rather dramatic manner. Wonderful scenes in the desert are shown, and dance-hall and mining camp "flashes," thy life in the outlaw’s camp are all realistic in the extreme. Contrasted with these are moments in the dressingroom of tne girl in a Broadway theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew provide tne lighter side of the entertainment in a clever comedy, “His Ear for Music. Episode seven of "The Great Secret and others complete the program...e, MUNICIPAL THEATRE, HAST.aG.j.
