ENTERTAINMENTS.

“THE GOVERNOR’S LADY.” Harry Millarde, director of “The Governor’s Lady,” screening at the Town Hall to-night, chose his characters for their ability to interpret the human touch. Robert T. Haines, as the Governor, presents a lifelike figure of an egotist who failed, while he succeeded. Jane Grey is, an appealing type as “The Governor’s Lady.” Anne Luther, noted for her beauty, is the other woman. Leslie Austin is ideal in his part as the young lawyer-lover of the woman who tempted the governor. Fraser Coulter is typical as the political chieftain, whose word is law. It is a great cast in a great picture, which brings hack happy memories of “If Winter Comes” and “Over the Hill.” A Sunshine comedy, “The Weakling” and World’s News are also on to-night’s programme. Prices as usual. “The Broken Wing,” Monday night’s feature at the Town Hall,’ is a picture full of thrills and laughs written round a young aviator’s forced aeroplane landing in the midst of a Mexican revolution. Supporting films are “High Power,” comedy and the latest Pathe Gazette and English Budget. Prices 1/- and 1/9 children 3d and fid. ROYAL PICTURES. “To the women of the peiiod, restless, seductive, greedy, discontented, craving sensation, unrestrained, a little morbid, more than a little selfish, intelligent, uneducated, cybaritic, following blind instincts and perverse fancies, slack of mind as she is trim in body, neurotic and vigorous, a worshipper of tinselled gods at perfumed altars, fit mate for the hurried, reckless and cynical man of to-day of the age, predestined mother of—what manner of being? To her is this study, “Flaming Youth” dedicated. To be screened at the Royal Theatre to-night. On Monday night George Arliss takes the role of a millionaire, retired steel man who has a spendthrift son. He cuts the boy off with “Twenty Dollars a Week.” You must see this picture. It will make you want to go to work on Monday. A selznick special, beautifully done, with magnificent sets and photography.
