"UP FROM. THE" DEPTHS."

"Up From the Depths," a Mutual master-picture -in four parts-, ifi' to be' the leading attraction at Everybody's to-day. . : This: startling, play, which depicts the story of a. girl's, heroic lifebattle- . and a man's regeneration", was screened for one-week ' at' the Crystal Palace-at Sydney,- and' co great was its success that it was continued for..-:, a fortnight; at two other leading picture nouses. The drama is founded on the old story of a girl's infatuation for a scoundrel,; and it •is *aid to be • a fearless ■ criticism vof that social law. which tramples; upon. the■ woman: who';sins, but; c;permits 'the . other; party to the contract,; the'man, to go free: • .There are said to be many strikingly attractive, and; realistic. settings., a notably; vivid scene. being Mozart's saloon' in New York, set for; the worship of wine. The critics who previewed the;- picture have said that it would be difficult to imagine a better . harmonised: play, a more niterestjng plot, or one of greater draniatice strength and human ap_; peal. Courtney Fbote, in ; the star role is affordeda- good opportunity to dis T play his talents. • Charniing Gladys Brockwell, as the girl who : comes "up from the depths" "to her' tniie ■birthright. a6 a wife .and mother, is entitled •to high praise. Supporting films include the'latest Australian Gazette, a scenic study, "In; Blothaland,''.and a comedy Jburlesque; called , " Pressing Business."-' -V; ■: ■' ■■■ ■.
