MAXINE ELLIOTT IN “FIGHTING ODDS.” The management of Everybody’s is pleased to announce ’that they have secured for their patrons to-night the Goldwyn special feature “Fighting Odds,” a six-part dramatic offering featuring the famous beauty and theatrical star Maxine Elliott. Miss Elliott is acknowledged to be the most beautiful woman in the theatrical world to-day, but, unlike many of these stage beauties, Miss Elliott has great dramatic talent as well. Those who remember her work when she _ visited Australasia with Nat Goodwin will agree that seldom has beauty and talent been more happily combined. In , “Fighting Odds” Goldwyn has secured a story written, jointly by two such illustrious American authors as Irvin Cobb and Roi Cooper Megrue, and they have furnished a strong and intensely interesting story of the business world in which a woman’s wit is matched against the cunning and well laid plots of an unscrupulous man. The story had a most successful stage appearance with the title “Under-Sentence.”
