EVERYBODY’S THEATRE.

TWO BIG ATTRACTIONS. Week after week with unfailing regularity the management of Everybody’s Theatre provides its patrons with a programme of pictures and music, v. hich fo» quality and attractive entertainment would be difficult to surpass anywhere- The programme to be presented rext week is no exception to the rule. It contains two high-class I ictures ,varied supporting items and a wonder tul array of musical numbers. The Giiter aV2raction is a Paramount taper-feature entitled “ Her Husband’s trademark,” starring the popular and brilliant actress Gloria Swanson. The theme of the picture is founded on the strange creed of a man, w'ho believed that a fhow of wealth would attract wealth, -»nd believing this, gowned his wife in a mart extravagant fashion. But he built his creed on a false assumpt’on and his plana cam© tumbling down with such completeness that the crash resulted in his death. It all makes a strangely unusual story, forceful, dramatic, tense. Miss Swanson, who has been called the best dressed woman on the screen, further justifies this repitation in “ Her Husband’s T rademai k. ’ * The skins of twentytwo Australian opossums were required to mak.' up the new rare opossum fur coat ah** wears in some of the scenes jn this picture. Mrs Ethel Chaffin, head designed at the Paramount studio, designed this new creation especially for Miss Swanson to wear in this picture. The star also wears six very lavish style creation- ;nd two beautiful and striking in the picture, in which beautiful clothes are a necessary feature of tne theme of the story. Richard Wiyne and Stuart Holmes have the leading male roles and others in the cast are Lucien Littlefield. Charles Ogle, Edythe Chapman and Clarence Burton. The supporting attraction is Metro’s latest production, entitled Blackmail,'’ featuring Viola Dana. It i- a play of good looks and youthful love and proves that Cupid is no longer respecter of persona or of plans.
