ENTERTAINMENTS

GREAT EVENTS Often spring from trifles. In this wav was conceived the idea of “The Anglican Community Fair.” The tug-of-war tournament will undoubtedly prove one of thp most attractive events, if not the most popular. A team has already been entered from the local borough council staff and they should give a good account of themselves, although it is believed there are several dark horses in the field. Numerous innovations have been introduced, one of them a Atoek Court, another the “Leg Puller,” in addition to many others equally interesting. The stalls this year have been exceptionally well catered for. and the. slogan “value for money,” is being carried out in its entirety. Admission to the Fair is free, bat. we are reminded that, it will he safer for patrons to lake their .money with them to the Fair than leave it in the house while they are out. “PAWN TICKET 210.” Shirley Alason, piquant, young slar, is appearing in a type of play entirely different from anything she has ever worked in before in “Pawn Ticket 210,” at the Town Hall on Saturday next. The story deals wth the life of a girl tvlio was left in a pawnshop by her mother when the girl was an infant. The pawnbroker takes the little one into his home and raises her as his own daughter. After many years the old man dreads the day when the mother will come hack for her child. ‘.‘Pawn Ticket 210” has a. big reputation as a stage play and in the dainty hands of Shirley Alason the picture has been made a winner. Sunshine Comedies have a fine record as laugh producers and Saturday’s two-reeler “Poor Fish,” is going to enhance that record. Next week will he a week of big events at the Town, Hall. Theodore Roberts will be seien in the great, stag success “Grumpy,” and ATae Murray in the newest gilt-edged luxury drama “Jazz Alania.” Watch for further particulars of these gems of the silver .sheet. ROYAL PICTURES. One of the “most hair-raising stunts ever reflected oil the screen which for realism (and sensational thrills which is remiseeiit of the dramatic river scene in Griffith’s “Way Down East,” is the thrilling rescue at the climax of “The Alan From Beyond,” in which Hondini is seen breasting the raging waters on the very brink of Niagara Falls. The story deals with the theory of reincarnation and a. great part of it takes place in the frozen arctic. Nifa Naldi is the leading feminine player. Comedy “Tough Luck.” On Saturday night. D, W.
