BRILLIANT COMEDY AT EVERYBODY'S.

One of the funniset comedies to come to the Dominion is “Wife Savers.” (It will be the chief picture on this week’s bill at Everybody's Theatre.) This is the story, in part, told in “Wife Savers”:—There was once a Swiss village, complete with snowcapped mountains, a chalet, some edelweiss, yodelling youths and pretty plump girls cali ed Gentle Zitella and Gretchen, and Germain and the like. » Into this spot wandered one day two Americans (Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton), and found the place to be in a state of war, due to an edict having gone forth that within a certain period of time all the unmarried women of the village ■were to take to themselves husbands. The ladies, weighing all eligible swains in the scale and finding them wanting in personal beauty and a superabundance of worldly goods, promptly pursued. en masse, the two splendid Americans, who. wost ungallantly, declined the collective hand of the Swiss village. That is the germ of " Wife Savers,” just a hint of what it is all about, a plot gleaned from the cities and small towns of Europe. America and the countries of the Pacific, told with relish, zest, buoyant spirits and a vast amount of most infectious fun. The second picture at Everybody’s this week is an Anglo-Indian drama, “Afterwards.”
