THE PICTURE HOUSES.

+— THE PALACE. The final screening of the current programme takes place to-night. It has been a huge success, and represents some of the best typo of films released by reputed firms. Douglas Fairbanks is shown , m one of his own films, "Arizona." As a ! cavalry officer he has a role that enables him to give play to the boyish pranks and athletic feats he is celebrated for. Thoi .picture m which Hale Hamilton takes the j lending part is ot a pair of struggling authors. The girl is an heiress who is lost, and after the pathetic struggles is I found by a lawyer's clerk, who prompts, a friend to pose as a successful novelist; and so withdraw the girl from her sur- ' roundings and marry her to fulfil the clause m the will. Johnny, however, be-; I 'comes aware of the clause, and m a thril-i j ling pipcn of work brings about, an ©nd- , ing that is usually anticipated. Tim Mutt and Jeff cartoon and the Mack Sennett ! comedy both created much merriment. EVERYBODY'S. There was again a big attendance last night to witness the fine programme of which Gaby Desby's part m "Infatuation" is an outstanding feature. Everybody has heard of the beautiful, Gaby Desby. Tho story is remarkable for its splendour. In one scone several items from a musical comedy are introduced and are an eyeopener m the magnitude with which they are presented. Dances are introduced which render easily understandable the fame of Gaby as a dancer. . In addition her beauty stands out, whether ns the poor flower girl, or as the gorgeous human butterfly who has achieved great fame and become the idol of Paris, m simple, raiment of the magnificent costumes of the star, as a rare jewel m a rich setting. The swift moving melodrama "Pay Me" is another great attraction, as are the fine supports. The programme will be finally shown to-night. ' f To-morrow's change. — For the mid-week change at Everybody's another fine programme is to be presented.
