AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODY’S. Great success is attending the bright, attractive holiday programme! showing at Everybody’s. To-night will see the final screenings of “In the Name of the Law, a. truly fine special; “The Victor,’’ with Herbert Rawlingsoii; Baby Peggy in “Carmen Jr,’’ and the International News. ‘ To-morrow, both at the matinee and evening sessions will be continued another special holiday bill, when “Anna Christie,” the big Thomas luce production with a great cast, and the Larry Sernon super-comedy, “The Gown Shop, ’ will) be presented together with a splendid array of supporting pictures. Thomas H. fn.ee has abandoned the picturemaker’s frequent artifice of relying upon magnificent backgrounds, expensive “sets,” and mass movement to “carry” a production, and subordinated everything to the end of achieving fine characterisations in this powerful story. It proves that a compelling staga drama can bo re-enacted on the screen without losing artistic power—rather .gaining in strength and compelling realism. Larry Semon performs his greatest antics against the pleasing background of a modiste’s establishment in “The Gown Shop,” a Master picture comedy. A complete mannequin parade is staged in ilia first part, with the most beautiful girls in Hollywood playing the parts of the. models. In addition will be shown “A Cattle Station in New South Wales,” educational interest, “The Last of the Bison,” travelogue, English and Bathe Gazettes. PALACE THEATRE.
