EVERYBODY'S 'Must Another Blonde," is being shown at Everybody's for the last time to-night. Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulliall are co-featured. One set is a scene oi' an old country home. I'lvcry dot ail is perfect, from the rag rugs mi tlie floor to ihe colored tablecloths and the lovely old sideboard and the oil lamp on the tabic There is fun enough and thrilling action enough to suit anyone. As supports "Oh, Captain," two-reel comedy, "Epic of Interest No. <>," English Gazette and "Felix Cartoon" are .shown.

The growing disregard for the laws of the land and Ihe effect of this upon children inspired Mrs. Wallace Reid in hor latest production, "Broken Laws," which opens at Everybody's Theatre to-morrow night. "Broken Laws" deals with mother love and the. necessity for law observance oil the part of citizens. It is not a preachment, however, but a virile drama of to-day which will (interest! everyone. It points the way to better citizenship, and clearly outlines .the necessity of teaching children the obedience and respect due to the constituted laws of the land. "Investigation into many incidents," Mrs. Reid declares, "will, reveal a lack of respect for the law on the part of the children's parents. In 'Broken Laws,' we have attempted to show how serious the growing disregard for law is becoming, and how it vitally affects our children." One of the linest casts interprets this exceptional Master picture. Included are Mrs. Wallace Reid, Percy Manuont, Ramsey Wallace, Arthur Rankin, Jaecpioline Saunders. Virginia Lee Corbin, Pat Moore and Jane Wray. There is interest, for everyone in "Broken Laws." and yet no one can see it and not come iuvny a better citizen, it is claimed. In addition there will be a picked supporting programme. THE PALACE. .lack Holt, Paramount'* featured player in Zane Grey's masterpiece, •' Alan oi' the Forest/' makes his linal appearance at. the Palace to-night. '•'Man of the Forest" is a tale of hairbiendth adventure in Ihe mountain regions of the far West, declared by Zano Grey to be his best. The colorful life of the man of the forest, an Eastern girl trying, to adopt Western ways, outlaws, a fight for right against the villainy of a dishonest bully, are told in the story. The love theme is handled in the 'usual forceful manner characteristic of the Zano Grey romances. Imagine a love affair that, starts out, by having the man kidnap the girl, and then having her shoot him The climax is said to be different. " The Midnight Kiss," Fox Films' version of " Pigs,*' the play that kept Broadway chortling for months, commences at to-morrow's matinee. Tho charm of the picture lies itti the simplicity and human quality of the plot. Tommy Atkins, jr., around whose medical experiments and business deals the story revolves, is nothing more than a younger son of an average American family; a real boy in every respect, with a healthy disregard for the female of the species'and big ideas of what he wants to accomplish as a man. Mildred Hastings is a delightful little Miss, a tomboy all her life. Mildred is a romanticist, and she thinks Tommy, jr., is wonderful and is determined to marry him sooner or .later.
