ENTERTAINMENTS.

A FAST ACTION PICTURE,

This is a brief description of the production to be screened at the Town Hall on Saturday night. The lending role is taken by William Steele who plays the part of a Texas ranger in endeavouring to outwit a band of crooks whose lender occupies the unassailable position of the Chief of Police. The story moves forward from thrill to thrill with breathless haste leaving the audience gasping at the end. The re is of course, the usual vein of romance running through the story which just gives it a nice touch of delicacy and which will greatly appeal to the ladies. On Easter Monday the William Fox super, “Shame," will be screened, and a dance will be held after the sci’eening. ROYAL PICTURES.

“The Turn of a Card” is the title of the starring attraction with J. Warren Kerrigan at the Royal Theatre to-morrow night. This is a powerful romance of the Californian oil fields and the star has the role of a young Western oil magnate who strikes it “rich.” The story is interspersed with a comedy vein in which the star is the central figure. Prices as usual. On Saturday night Mae Murray will appear in “Peacock Alley.” It is typically a Mae Murray picture, ravishing, dazzling, with a lilting twang of cabaret jazzing, yet pulsating warmly with the lure of love and exotic, romance. A picture which moves from the gayest quarter of Paris to the white lights of Broadway. Comedy “No Parking.”
