ENTERTAINMENTS.
EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. . RICHARD DIX FUN-MAKER. “Say it Again,” Richard Dix’s latest comedy and his third success under Paramount’s banner, will be screened for the last time at Everybody’s for family night to-night. This is full of Richard’s own style of humour and mirthful situations, and the romantic hero’s part is particularly suited to him. The story in brief tells of a man who is mistaken for a prince and the forthcoming complications when he is married to the girl he loves, but docs not know It. Beautiful Alyce Mills plays leading lady and adds greatly to the picture by her beauty and charm. Chester Conklin, erstwhile Keystone Kop, plays a very good comedy role, and is responsible for quite a few laughs during the picture. “Gunboat” Smith has been associated with Richard Dix in a number of pictures, and has always been responsible for plenty of “punch” in every character he plays. “Say it Again” is well supported by short films and a comedy and Lesson V of “Th. Charleston” screens finally to night. Tomorrow sees Edmund Lowe in the mighty Fox picture “The Fool.” THE PEOPLE'S THEATRE. A FINE WESTERN PICTURE. The eternal appeal of the wild outdoors and the thrills of the West are the foundations of the story ‘Sky High Corral” which will be shown for the last time at The People’s theatre tonight. But added to the glamour of the West in this picture is the excellent plot and the fine acting of both human and animal actors. Next to Acord’s rare skill at horsemanship the most interesting thing in the picture is the comic relief horse, Acord’s fine fiery steed which can make faces like a comedian. Acord’s dog also adds some fine “bits” to the piece. Too much cannot be said for the exquisite background for the story. Cliff Smith, director, deserves credit for locating such beautiful scenery. A big supporting programme includes two fine comedies starring Edna Marion and Charles Puffy.
