ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. Helen Ferguson, one of the most promising young leading women of the screen, is cast opposite Frank Mayo in the Universal production, “The Flaming Hour,” which is to be screened at the Royal Theatre to-night. The story was written by Mrs Lillian Chester and George Randolph Chester, and directed by Edward Sedgwick. A picture that will grip you and hold you interested until the last scene. On Friday night “The Country Flapper” will be screened. This picture is produced in a comedy vein and Miss Gish has one of the greatest opportunities of her career Jo display her original charm and style. On Monday next: “The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse.” “THE FIGHTING STREAK.” Coming at the eud of a run of Western pictures, Tom Mix in “The Fighting Streak,” makes a good finish at the Town Hall on Saturday night. In this, his latest offering, Mix lias chosen the part of a blacksmith and a bookworm, until the bad man of the town wanted to take a rise out of him. Then ‘‘The Fighting Streak” came out and Tom, having found his feet by rescuing a girl from a bolting horse,' the fun begins. Prices are as usual. William Farnum in “Moonshine Valley” will be screened shortly, and Mae Murray in “Fascination” soon after.
