ENTERTAINMENTS.

ROYAL PICTURES. Leah Baird returns to the Royal Theatre to-morrow night in her newest production for Associated Exhibitors, entitled “When the Devil Drives.” It is said to present allot her angle to “Sisters under the Skin.” ADss Baird wrote the story, showing how the Devil can provoke the same mad impulse in two women, however great may be the gulf between them in education, class or morals. ADss Baird herself plays the role of the woman with a past —a woman who laid the wealth of her soul at a man’s feet and then found that the more she gave, the less she could demand. Come and see this stirring picture to-morrow evening. On Saturday night Norma Talma dge wears a new kind of bracelet ia “Within the Law,” which is really a twin; there are two of them connected with a short chain. They call them handcuffs. Don’t miss seeing “Within the Law.” It is a gripping picture that will hold your interest throughout. “JUST OFF BROADWAY.” John Gilbert, the popular star, _ plays the role of a. Secret- Service man in “Just off Broadway,” leading film at- the Town Hall on Saturday next. To track down a gang Gilbert becomes a member, travels to New York, London and Paris, with them, and even falls in love with a girl whom he believes to be a member also. The manner in which these two straighten out the tangle of their lives and eventually perform great services, makes , a dramatic story. Supporting the feature is “Etiquette,” the latest Sunshine comedy, and World’s News. U-ual prices.
