EVERYBODY’S

"THE MARK OR ZOItRO. M Commencing to-day at Everybody's is Douglas Fairbanks in 'liis First united Artistic production, "The Murk of Zorro/* Tlie story is an adaptation or Johnston McCulley's novel, "The Curse of Capistrano," which appeared !n the "All Story magazine. Those critics who have viewed "The; Mark ox Zorro" have proclaimed that Fairbanks has excelled any of 'his previous performances. This is due to some extent to the ingenious story and the opportunities afforded "Doug" to make the greatest use of his athletic ability. It is a dual role that Fairbanks is called upon to essay.. As Don Diego the young man. he leads a secluded life, and Is quiet and amiable in disposition upon all occasions. Anythin# exciting was abhorrent tb him nnd never was 'he *ound mingling with the populace in their festivities. But when he awakened to the persecution, without justification, of the natives bv those in power, he felt that the tirne had come to act. Disguised os Senor Zorro, we see him executing exploits practically unaided in the Attempt to freb his people from the despot's yoke. FTo becomes transformed into a veritable dynamo of boundless energy. There is a Kiri in the story that really furnishes the strong love interest. With Noah Beery, Robert McKfrn, Charles Hill Mailes and Marguerite Be ba Motte. his leading lady, collected in his cast, Fairbanks has left nothing undone to assure the public the best obtainable in motion pictures. The box nlan is at the Bristol, and early booking la advised.
