EVERYBODY'S THEATRE

An excellent programme of new pictorial e subjects was screened at Everybody's Theatro yesterday and big attendances were recorded. Alice Brady is the principal actress in a five-reel World masterpiece entitled "The Trap," which offers great scope jf for her emotional acting. The story tells ™ how Doris Shaw, a daughter of a fanatically l,; religious leader of a fisher village, is driven e from her home owing to idle gossip about herself and Kendall, a visiting artist. In , e the city she finally gains employment as a '• waitress, where Kendall again meets her and persuades her to pose for him. She gives up her work in the restaurant and lives on his bounty, failing to realise his motive for showering gifts upon her. Jack Masterton, a Westerner, sees her picture in an advertisement, and decides to meet her. He visits New York, soon locating her, and decides that she will become Mrs Masterton. Doris grows to love this man, and accepts his proposal. Kendall schemes to disillusion Masterton, but his attempts, L " though coloured with success, end in failure. A good supporting list is made up of a fino 13 comedy, "The Sign of the Cucumber," £ chapter 12 of "A Lass of the Lumberlands" '{ serial, and a Topical Budget.
