DAINTY “JOANNA” DRAWS THE CROWD.
EVERYBODY’S DEALS WITH MODERN PROBLEMS. Are the moral standards of the modern girl as good as those maintained by the. girl of yesterday? This is a question often debated, and one which ! has been answered in a variety of ways. Vigorous denunciations of the J present generation make their appearI ance from time to time, and alw'ays someone has rallied to the defence. The, by now, familiar question is put in rather a different form in the scenario for “Joanna,” the First National picture which heads the programme at Everybody’s Theatre this Aveek. In this instance the query is , whether the modern girl will put j wealth before everything, and the moral that is drawn is that the pur- ! chasing poAver of money as measured j in the terms of human happiness is a j doubtful quantity. Scenes of gaiety loom large in the presentation of the ! story. The supporting programme includes some interesting topical pictures, one of the popular Felix series, and a bright comedy. Selections by the orj chestra, under the direction of Mr W. ] J. Bellingham, have an important part in the success of the entertainment.
