Vaudeville and pictures at Everybody's to-night should see Ihal popular theatre packed lo the doors. Quite out of the ordinary run of pictures, “Beau Hriiainiell, 1 ’ which was shown ai the matinee to-day and which proved to be one of the most popular at t met ions shown at this I heal re for some lime. Tho story of the dandy of the eighteenth century, whoso insolence and wit. made him an ininiale of prophets, priests, and kings, is nnel of the most romantic of English history, and the opportunity afforded of learning something; more of that whimsical charneler was altogether too good to be missed. John Barrymore, whose artistry lias won him a foremost place in the stage world, gives one of his best dolinea- , lions to date in the role of Beau I I’rnmtnel, his acting being a rovoln- j lion in all respects. Seldom has anything' approaching such line acting been seen on the silver sheet. As the dandy of the court of King George, lie was excellent, but even the heights to which he rose there were overshadowed wlien, banished from the court, and sadly in debt, lie became an outcast, living in poverty in the French town of Gala is. His pride remained with him to the end, but i gradually he sank lower and lower, until finally he became an inmate of a prison hospital, bereft of his senses mid all else that he held dear. Supporting Mr. Barrymore is a east of considerable ability, and the photogvnphv adds much to the pleasure ot the production. Tho supporting films include an excellent comedy and an interesting gazette. To-night Mr, Oliver Peacock, already known favorably throughoqt. the Dominion as one of the. finest baritone vocalists of the day, mid late of Oscar Ascho. and Ihe Red Dandies, will render popular songs from his extensive repertoire, and will appear nightlv for three nights.
