"EVERYBODY'S," CONTINUOUS PICTURES.

FIRST INCIDENT IN "THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY." A re-arrangement of the Fuller circuit will give Everybody's Theatre in Palmerston a big advantage. Hitherto Palmerston has been about the tenth place on the circuit, but it is now to be the second They will be shown first in Auckland and next in Palmerston, so that patrons of Everybody's will see pictures that are not only the very latest released bv the manu-« facturers, but which have not suffered' through the wearing incidental to long exhibition.

The first programme received under the new arrangement was shown at Everybody's to-day, and was received with many marks of approval. It is headed by the first of "The Million Dollar Mystery," a group of films that has caused a sensation in the picture world in Australia. Altogether it comprises nine miles of thrills, adventure and romance—the work of the Thanhauser Company. The first episode is entitled "The Airship in the : Night," and every incident in this long chain of events is complete in itself. 'The Airship in the Night" deals with "The lilack Hundred," a secret society, of which Stanley Rargreaves becomes a member when a young man. The crimes ordered to be committed by the gang shocked Hargraves much that he deserted the "cause." For eighteen years Hargrayes kept out of sight, in which time lie amassed a huge fortune. In spite of his watchfulness he knew that sooner or later the long arm of the "society" would discover him, so that when the evil day finallv arrived Hargraves was ready. "The Black Hundred" surround the house to make sure of their victim Hargraves has a daughter, whom he had placed in a boarding school. She is 18 years of age. He leaves a million dollars in the hands of ibis faithful old butler, and it is about this money that the exciting story of the film is woven.

"The Floating Peril" illustrates how submarine mines work. The Edison Company offer an exhilarating comedy entitled "The Sport of Circumstances." "Saints and Sinners" is a pathetic drama from the "Flying A" studios. "A Question of Clothes" is a side-splitting comedy by the Vitagraph players. Then there is a Keystone farce,, "For Better—But Worse." It concerns a flirtatious married man, who goes out to give the dog an airing, but becomes quite a "gay dog" himself. There is not a dull moment in this comedy.
