Leii Chaiiey, full.: star cast ill "Flesh aiid Blood"; John •Gilbert and Sylvia Breather, in "Calvert s Valley"; and Clvde Cook in hi* inimitable comedy* ""the Huntsman, arc the main attractions, whilst the J.<oX News rounds off ah excellent night s entertainment, j D. W. Griffiths has made a great nine-part picture in "Dream founded'ori the story of Thos. Burkes well-known "Limehouse Nights/ series, to be presented at the matinee at Everybody's to-morrow. The foundation "of the play inevitably challenges comparison with "Broken Blossoms, but this is a. different kind of story altogether and the ending is as happy as sunshine. Carol Dempster, in the leading role, is very wayward and notably beautiful, and the supporting cast is so splendid as to deserve special mention. Ralph Graves, ns the blustering, handsome McFadden, the dreaming melody writer, is a genuine poet. Then there is the sly, evil, leering Oriental Sway Wan, wonderfully done by Edward Peil. In addition to "Dream Street" there will be a programme of first-class supports. Everybody's orchestra will render a delightful musical program me. PALACE THEATRE.

To these big attractions an excellent supporting programme will be added, which includes a Mack Sennett comedy, "Great Scott," the Hall Room Boys' farcical sketch, "Some Champ,' the* Selznick News, the Paramount Magazine and a Bruce scenic travel film. In "Her Winning Way," Mary Miles Minter has an engaging role as Aunt Anriington, a breezy young lady journalist, whoso speciality is book reviews and literary interviews. _ Her adventures hinge upon her assignment to obtain an interview with a popular but very shy young novelist. In order to do this she is compelled to do a, bit of burglarious entering in order to impersonate the new maid, "who was expected to take care of Harold's bachelor apartments. Without this interview she will be unable to publish her column. Her experiences in burglary and her adventures with the shy novelist make a play full of delightful scenes. "The Way of a Maid" is a story in which humor and thrills are delightfully blended.' The book is well known to every novel reader, and the picture follows the book faithfully. Elaine Hammerstein scores a triumph as the maid. The matinee to-morrow starts at 2.
