CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT.

"Bob” McKeever shows “Bill” Farnum at his best,, with, his rugged strength and' wholesome heart and purpose, with which he tackles evei y problem—whether it is a "bad m'an” or how to win the girl he loves. The other attraction is "Smiles are Trumps,” featuring Maurice Flynn. THE VICE-REGALS.
