ENTERTAINMENTS.

"MANHANDLED.” Gloria Swanson, most popular ot emotional actresses, and undisputed best-dressed woman on tho screen, will re-appear before a Foxton audience at the Town Hall Cabaret to-morrow evening. Her picture on this occasion is “Manhandled,’’ a dramatic story of pre-sent-day societ\- life. The film is full of novel situations, and in contrast to most of this star’s features, carries a number of humorous scenes. The production, the work of Allan Divan, has a background of lavish settings, whilst the gowns seen will delight the womenfolk. The supporting pictures are “Don’t Slip,” comedy, and the latest Paramount News. Usual caba- !■«-* prices.

Another favourite, in the person of Dustin Farnutn, will he seen on Saturday next, in “Kentucky Days,” ti picture reminiscent of the "Covered Wagon” tuid dealing with tin same period in history. As ill all Farnum features, thrills are prominent. Coining- next week, “The Aridnight Alarm.” ROYAL PICTURES. Beautiful Jane Novak conies to lln Royal Theatre on Wednesday in “Colleen of the Pines,” her first liig ICC starring vehicle.
