THE PICTURE WORLD.

EVERYBODY’S. MARGUERITA FISCHER IN “THE PRIMITIVE WOMAN.” The new programme to he shown tonight and to-morrow at Everybody’s includes Marguerita Fischer in “The Primitive Woman.” The story is something quite new. It deals with a young author, who abhors modern woman. Using as a type Nan Graythorpe, who surprised him with her daring dance, “The Eskimo Fling,” the author goes to the mountains to write a book on primitive women compared with the women of to-day. Nan, determined to change his views and be revenged for the insults offered her, resorts to-, all the keen subterfuge within her power to bring him to his knees. The story is interesting and fascinating throughout its five reels. Supports include the sixth episode of “Wolves of Kultur.” COMING FRIDAY. WILLIAM FARNUM IN ’’THE HEART OF A LION.” On Friday and Saturday the attraction at Everybody’s will be the Fox special “The Heart of a Lion,” starring popular William Farnum. This picture is adapted from the “Doctor of Crow’s Nest,” the widely-read novel by Ralph Connor, and is sure to prove a most popular attraction. THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “HAPPY,, THOUGH MARRIED.” To-night’s is the last screening of 'the scintillating comedy-drama, “Happy, Though Married,” starring the gifted Australian artiste, Enid Bennett. A book called “Happy, Though Married” caused all the trouble. From this on every move her huuuy made had a sinister meaning to her—until she discovered that she was “Happy, Though Married.” The latest gaxtte, comedy and “The Fighting Trial’ art) also shown. “THE PRICE OF A GOOD TIME.” In “The Price of a Good Time” Mildred' Harris gives a wonderfully appealing characterisation. Her rise to prominence has been most meteoric, and her performance in this picture is her crowning achievement. “Linnie—saleswoman in a big store, with an invalid for a father, a soap-hos Socialist for a brother, a sordid home of poverty and unhappiness—wants just a little of the ' pleasure and pretty clothes that other girls had.” “Preston, rich hut discontented with many things, meets the poor, but also discontented girl, and they agree to have a good time for six nights.”
