THE PICTURE WORLD.

THE PEOPLE’S. DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS. To-night’s new bill shows Doug, aboard a broncho. Ho dashes up to the'ranch house and yells to a bunch of cowpunchers, “Come on, quick, we’re going to fight!” “Fight who?” “Who, hell! What difference does it make. Come on!” And away they go—a thunder of hoofs and a cloud of dust, Douglas Fairbanks and his very own army. That’s a scene from “Arizona,” a scene typical of this great stage success now produced in the big outdoors where the story belongs. The big Mack Sennett comedy, “East Lynne,” is also on the bill as well as the latest gazette and the “Fighting Trail.’ The big Xmas matinee tomorrow (Wednesday) commences at 3.30. EVERYBODY’S. LAST NIGHT OF “THE WHIRL OF LIFE.” The jazz, the fox-trot, and the tickletoe are some of the dances which America has originated, and the particular; style which led to their introduction was first developed, it is said, by the. Vernon Castles—lrene Castle, now a popular picture actress, and her husband, the late Captain Castle. Last night at Everybody’s the star picture was entitled “The Whirl of Life,” which purported to give the life story of the onco-popular duo. The picture was extremelv well received. An Australian comedy deals with the fascination of the jazz in a manner typically Australian. The supporting pictures include a topical and interest films and another adventure of “The Scarlet Runner.” To-night will be the final screening occasion of this programme, which ranks as one of the most entertaining sc-lections ever submitted to a local audience.
