Tho story of "Jeanne Doro," with Madame Sarah Bernhardt in the principal role, is a most interesting film at the Plaza Pictures. The tragic story is beautifully told on tho screen. Hazel Dawn appears at the Grand Theatre to-day in the Famous Players' production, "The Feud Girl," which tafees pride of place in the change of programme to- ■*"■* day. ■ In this picture Miss Dawn makes alovable personality of the character she portrays. Most of the scenes are laid in ' North Georgia, a district illustrated bv a v number of exquisite pictures' of natural ", beauty. The story is a charming one, and : is strongly supported by other films. 1 Tho current programme at EverybooVs includes a fivo-nct drama entitled " Pamela's ■ Past." a comedy featuring the ever-popular ''"""j Charlie Chaplin; and a topical film showing , jsj Nieuporfc after a bombardment. ■'■■ '■■■'? ■*£.
