PETER B. KYNE STORY AT CABARET.

“The Go-Getter,” from Peter 13. Kyne’s book of the same name, which has been secured for to-mor-row evening’s Cabaret at the Town flail, is tile story of a man whose motto was “Do it now,” and be just went after it n.nd got. what lie wanted, even when it came to a wife. All the famous Kvne characters are to be seen in the “GoGetter,” including the likeable Gappy Ricks. The various roles are in the capable hands of T. Roy Barnes, Seena Owen, George Fawcett, and Louis Wolheim. Several sensational episodes are introduced into the story, not the least- of which is a night race between an aeroplane and an express train. “Nearly married” is Wednesday's comedy. Usual Cabaret prices. For Saturday next the management have been successful in securing a very tine production “Down Home,” described by critics as a worthy successor to “The Old Homestead.” It has been decided to charge usual prices for this tine picture. On Monday, 41h., “The Ne’er Do Well,” the picture Rex Beach personally supervised in the making, on the Panama Canal, will be screened at the Town Hall. ROYAL PICTURES. A scene not called for in the script was enacted during the filming of “Wildcat Jordan,” the Talmadge feature showing at the Royal Theatre to-morrow night. It was necessary for Talmadge to make a quick get-away from a second storey window and on to a passing cab. In making the leap, Talmadge jumped for a halyard hanging from a flagpole, swung out into the street and letting go jumped lo the top of a taxicab. The ac tion was timed perfectly before completing the leap, but on taking the scene the driver of the cab was a second slow and instead of landing on tlie front of the cab wliere the roof was made of sheet iron. Talmadge jumped on to the wooden framework, crashing through to (lie inside. Luckily, he was not seriously injured. This is just one of the many thrills and stunts in “Wild Cat Jordan.” Comedy: “So Long Buddy.”
