EVERYBODY'S

“HIS DOG” “Gigolo,” the picture now showing at the Everybody’s Theatre, is a dramatic story starring Rod La Rocque as “Gid,” a one-time wealthy American boy. Through the accident of war, his face mutilated, then remade by plastic surgery, he becomes a gigolo—a professional dance man—accepting money from wealthy women so that he might live and forget the past rendered beautiful by the girl he had loved and lost. She failed to recognise him and thinking him a gigolo, she danced with him, then slipped him 50 francs. Came the realisation suddenly that she was the girl of his dreary past—still the idol of his heart! Jobyna Ralston and Louise Dresser are also in the cast. The second attraction is entitled “His Dog,” and the leading players are Joseph Schildkraut and Julia Faye. The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter may prove ungrateful. . . . The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. This is the central theme of the beautiful story “His Dog.”
