ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. The extraordinary experiences of a girl who possessed a dual personality, a nature that amounted virtually to a dual identity, axe presented in “The Untameable” Gladys Walton, which is to be shown at the Royal Theatre to-morrow night. The girl’s character existed in two distinct realms, one good, the other evil. In a way her life was that of a feminine “Jekyll and Hyde” existence. Through the hypnotic influence of a skillful and unscrupulous doctor, the vicious side of her nature was accentuated and her nature became virtually the subject of his will. Her real personality became distorted and eventually almost entirely masked through the strength of the doctor’s mental power over her. Don’t miss this gripping picture. Comedy entitled “Back to Earth.” Prices as usual.

“THE SNOW BRIDE.”

Equipped with a complete radio outfit to keep in touch with the outside world Alice Brady, and a company of players went into the frozen fur country of Canada to make scenes for “The Snow Bride” the Paramount picture on view at the Town Hall Cabaret to-morrow evening. The story deals with the ro mance of a young French Canadian giil who is sought by two men—(lie one she loved, and the one she hated. She is forced by the grim whim of fate to give, her hand to the latter. To add to her trials she is also convicted and sentenced to be hanged for minder. The girl is actually on the way to the scaffold when a terrific avalanche and its consequences clear up the tangled skein of circumstance and she is freed. A Charles Murray Comedy, “The Fiddling Fool” a travelogue and gazette complete the bill. Cabaret Prices. An old and established favourite William Russell is billed to appear on Saturday in “Good Bye Girls.” Picture Patrons are early advised to set aside Monday Feb. 251 h. for witnessing “Rupert of Hentzau.”
