EVERYBODY'S. "SCARLET OATH" AND "THE CUP OF LIFE." Warsaw is the scene of much of the action of "The; Scarlet Oath," the World film play to be displayed at Everybody's Theatre to-night. Gail Earn" has a dual role to play, which she <:!'.)C6 with great success. The plot of Hie .story is full of Russian intrigue and 2i;ystery. The character of this picture ia -ntensely dramatic, many of the scenes being taken prior to the German occupation of the unfortunate Polish capital. Another star feature in the strong programme is a five-part problem drama, "The Cup of Life," produced by Thomas H. Ince, and featuring Bessie Barriscalc. "The Cup of Life" boldly taken one of the big problems, and in a most interesting manner shows the beginning, the progress, and tie ending of the woman who prefers the "easy way." So cleverly is the story told that it becomes one of the beet "lesson dramas" that hafe been seen for some time. The picture is beautifully mounted and artistically presented. Some very fine supports include a ecotfic of much interest at the present time, entitled "Fishing in the North Sea," a sparkling Vitagraph comedy, "A. Professional Patient"; and the Gaumont Graphic, giving the latest war news from tbe European centres.
