TOWN HALL PICTURES.
The coming of Metro’s all-star production, “Clothes,” to the Town Hall to-night marks the arrival of another big stage success on the screen. It tells.the story of feminine vanity, extravagance, and capriciousness leading on to disaster. The heroine is an orphan whose supposedly wealthy father has left her nothing but £4OO a year hardly pin money for the set in which she moves. However, she continues to live as gaily and recklessly as if she 'were wealthy. Money comes to her easily through Arnold West, a lawyer. When she is heavily in debt he informs her she is a pauper dependent upon him. She has to marry him, he insists, because he has “bought” her. She is in love with another man, and West’s disclosures produce of typically modern tragedy. The second episode of “The Moonriders,” a star comedy, and a magazine and the latest English gazette complete a fine programme, at 6d and Is Id, children 3d.
