The tradition alone should, interest, one. Tho story is a gripping one, and Iho scenery the most, beautiful. The story is taken from Iho novel "The Orphan.” The “Urphnn” was wanted dead or alive. Ahead of him was a band of Apache Indians, and' behind him the sheriff, who set. out to get him single handed. Apparently he was up against it, but Mix, with flci assistance of Tony, ingeniously turned impending defeat into victory. They believed the “Orphan” was had, but few men knew what happened in his early life, steeling his heart against rnen Commencing at the matinee to-momov, vivacious, beautiful and charming Pole Negri will be presented' in “The Charmer. ’’ As a Spanish peasant girl Die is discovered in a Seville dance hall by a prominent theatrical producer Her dancing and beauty appeal to the showman in him, and he makes her a.n offer to go to New York. Billed ns “The Channel',” her success is instantaneous. Two men fall in love with her, but, her butterfly nature will not permit her to settle down, until disaster threatens.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. “Fighting Fury,” Tack Hoxie's Universal starring vehicle, will bo'shown at Everybody’s for the last time to-night. Milton Sills and! Y r iola Dan-s arc together again ! The two picture stars, wlio ha vs played together on many ccca-,-ions in the past, have the leading roles in “As Man Desires,” a highly romantic colorful story of the Orient and the South Seas, which will be shown at Everybody s to-morrow, both matinee and night. In “As Alan Desires,” Sills, tamed as “Tho Sea Hawk,” enacts the part of a British Army officer who, accused of murder, flees to Tahiti, and becomes ihe notorious' captain of a pearl fishing vessel.
