TO-NIGHT PICTURES.

E VERY BODY S. H A STI NG S. TWO STARS. There is not a shadow of doubt about the fact that Viola Dana is one of the cleverest and most popular artists <;n the screen. Her work is wonderful. Jn every detail of masterly acting sbo is perfect. In the brilliant Metro feature, “Opportunity,” which commences a two nights’ season this evening at Everybody’s, her acting in the principal role is a sheer delight. The production, is a rustically enacted and possesses an" exceptionally interesting plot. -Miss Dana is supported by an exceptionally strong band of Metro pia/ers. An elaborate plot is not always necessary . tor a good screen-drama. This is proved by the 'Triangle feature “The Aledicinoi Alan,” which grips the interest from the start and holds it uullaggingly to the end, yet which is not characterised by any absurdly complicated story. In fact it is the straightforwardness and sincere naturalness of it which constitutes it one of the most likeable pictures for many a day. Roy Stewart plays the central part, and the scenes, are laid in beautiful and wild western landscapes. The story centres round the attempt of two questionable charac-

ters to rot) a young girl of the ship of a mine whicn is found to be veryvaluable. They are foiled by a greathearted son of the West, who is perfectly jxirtrayed by Roy Stewart. He makes the part very convincing and proves himself one of the best lighting stars on the screen. Those who like u natural story charmingly told and with a genuine heart interest v ill agree that

this picture is one of those which are more than worth while. Always an item of merit is the entriacte and incidental music by Everybody’s - new orchestra. The plan is at Hall’s, or seats may be reserved by phoning tho theatre. J2dl». To-night and to-morrow night the : programme will include the appearance I of Aliss Nellie Kolle, male impersonator, who has been 72 weeks in the Dominion, where she has performed in tlie four centres and was everywhere , received with enthusiasm by crowded j houses. The fact that the engagement ' ot Afis.s Kolle is the biggest expense 4hat Fullers have ever handled proves

that the firm will spare nothing to secure the best lor their audiences. MUNICIPAL THEATRE, HASTINGS. DOUGLAS FAIRBAN KS.

Promising the most daring of Fairbanks’ stunts, the swiftest of Fairbanks’ action, the most delightful of Fairbanks’ romance and the most thrilling of Pairbanks’ melodrama, “Bound in Morocco,” which is to lie screened to-nigut and to-morrow night at this ineane, holds no relationsiiip to any previous Fairbanks production in style ol story or treatment. .Moreover, the picture is the most expensive ever produced by Fairbanks, clue to the many spectacular Alorocco settings and hundreds of people who were, employed on the production. On reaching the city ol hittaril), lie hears the screams of a beautiful girl wlio is being dragged into tue Governor's harem, jue boy is told that it is certain death to enter a harem, but watch him. Just how ho gams admission to tne harem, foils tlie eaiious Baslia, rescues the girl. and generally upsets the sleeping. Jangorous lutie city, still simiimg Ins tortuous way ttnougn tlio dangers mat tax ms American ingenuity and wit to their utmost, is a story that would spoil m tne telling. Another splendid feature on the bid is the latest Sunshine comedy, entitled “A light Squeeze.” Nothing tuiiiiier Jias been lilmed than this comedy, it is snriekingly hinny throughout, every loot is simply brimming over with neaitny, hearty laughter that w.ll delight the hearts ot all w no see it. Tho latest instalment of that popular serial, "The House or Hate ’ will provide thrills in plenty lor daring and hairbreadth escapes this episode ts said to outdo tne rest. Tno latest American Gazette, an interesting Bray Pictograph and another ot those'satiracal Aiontgomery biagg comedies, complete a ' aned and entertaining programme that is sure to prove popular, intending patrons are reminded to book, as this programme cah only be j shown tor two mgfiits.
