ENTERTAINMENTS

ROYAL PICTURES. The lure of adventure, interesting to any audience, is doubled in “Ridgeway of Montana,” a Universal feature starring .Jack IToxie at the Royal Theatre to-morrow night. Tt is promised the film version of William McLeod Raines’ novel will present as many “twists” of plot as a western story permits. Iloxie, long popular for his skill at riding and his typical western personality, the product of real ranch training has plenty of the western action in this story, but nothing in it parallels the usual western story formula, according to advance notices. Tim east includes standard troopers, like Herbert Fortier, Pierre Gendron, Pat Harmon and other's. Olive Hasbrouck plays the leading feminine role. The popularity of William 'McLeod Raine and Iloxie assure tlm attraction of a dual pulling power. For those who arc picture-wise, there is’further interest in Clifford S. Smith, who directed. Smith made forty-seven, practically all of the big “Bill” Hart features. “FAIR. WEEK.” Walter ITiers, the funny fat man of the movies, is the star of the live reel sensational comedy drama entitled "Fair Week,” which heads the bill at the Town Hall Cabaret tomorrow evening. • Everyone should laugh at the comedy and thrill at tlm sensational balloon and parachute stunts enaeted 1,000 feet in the air. Walter ITiers is inimitable in the role of Slim Swasey, jack of all trades at the local hotel. “Fair Week” marks the first screen appearance of Constance Wilson (sister of the famous Lois Wilson) who appears in the lending feminine role.
