'."Don't Change Your Husband" was,thet ' "chief attraction at tlio Octagon Theatre lasi. evening, and it was a source ot entertainment to tlioso present. _ "The Kingdom of Dreams" occupies pride of place in tiie current Empire Theatte programme. A Topical Gazette andi a comedy are also shown, and extra musical selections aro provided. . ...: ' , > Everybody's Theatre continues to attract good attendances with its current programme, which is well up to the standard •set by this popular picturo house. ; The headline film at the Plaza Theatre, "Fools and Their Money," is assisted by a well-selected list of supporting items, to make the new programme the equal of its ' predecessors. . ' "Bye for Eye," featuring Nazimova, and) "Charlie, tho Champion," with CharleO Chaplin in the name part, are tlie two lead, ing attractions at the King's f Theatro. ■ The t supports are judiciously selected. » Alice Joyce, tho oharming and talented Vitagraph actress, has achieved, a triumph, in her latest picture, "The Third Degree." This is an adaptation of the play of tho same name by Charles Klein, and is con- ! sidercd one of the most absorbing and, tlierefore, entertaining pictures in which the star has appeared. All tho faithful points of tho original play have beten carefully preserved and brought forward, so that it retains its dramatic higMights. TKi3 pro- ' ' 1 duction heads the bill at tho Queen's change ' to-day.
